Q: How does the Veritas small-blade holder secure a short blade?
Two embedded rare-earth magnets hold the blade against the anodized aluminum body, while an adjustable stop block keeps it square and properly positioned for sharpening.
05P3203 - Veritas Small-Blade Holder
Because of the difficulty holding short blades such as those found in most spokeshaves, instrument maker's planes, etc., sharpening them has been difficult.
The Veritas small-blade holder solves this effectively and safely by securing the blade using two powerful rare-earth magnets embedded into anodized aluminum and an adjustable stop block. In effect, it transforms your short blade into something larger (1 1/2" wide by 4" long) that can be effectively held for sharpening, either by hand or by mounting in a honing guide.
