I have had requests for clearer information on V-tool configurations, so I made up some sketches that demonstrate them.

Thanks Rick. One can never have too much information , especially on tool maintenance and sharpening. This info and reinforcement of the sharpening principles is important, and welcomed. Tom H

Excellent discourse, Rick! That was a very comprehensive coverage of questions that come up regarding grinds, bevels, micro bevels, "V" tool configurations and overall sharpening design. Great presentation.
