Get the right angle on every stroke. No guessing.
Most knife blocks come with a honing steel, but most of us just guess the angle when we use it. A steady 15° or 20° keeps an edge keen, and a wobbly angle rounds it off. This guide clips onto your steel and gives the blade a ramp to lean on, so every stroke starts at exactly the right angle.
What it does
- Four ramps in one part: two at 15° and two at 20°. Turn it a quarter turn to switch angles.
- Fits almost any round steel: three spiral spring arms grip steels, ceramic rods and diamond rods from 9 to 13 mm, and they hold the guide square to the rod so the angle stays true.
- Prints with no supports: it prints in one piece, thick end on the bed, with nothing to clean up afterwards.
- No hardware: just print it and slide it on.
- Japanese knife version included: a 12°/16° variant for Shun, Global, Miyabi and other thin Japanese blades.
How to use it
1. Slide the guide onto the steel from the tip, thick end first, and push it up against the handle guard.
2. Stand the steel tip-down on a cutting board. The angle numbers read the right way up like this.
3. Lay the flat of the blade on a ramp, heel first, with the edge touching the steel just below the guide.
4. Draw the knife down and off the steel, heel to tip. Hold the angle the ramp gave you and use light pressure.
5. Repeat on the opposite ramp for the other side of the blade, 4–6 strokes per side.
The blade pushes the guide toward the handle, so it sits against the guard and can't slip under load.
Which angle? Use 15° for most Western knives made since about 2010, 20° for older German or budget knives, and the 12°/16° version for Japanese knives.
Why the ramps are 1.5° shallower than the numbers
The number is the angle at the edge. Where the blade rests on the ramp, its face is tapered about 1.5° from the centreline, so the ramps are cut at 13.5° and 18.5°. That way the edge meets the steel at a true 15° and 20°.
Print the grip test first
honing_angle_guide_test_grip.stl is just the spring ring, takes about 5 minutes, and uses almost no filament. Push it onto your steel: it should go on with a firm push and stay put when you hold the steel upright.
