Abstract
A vertically oriented honing guide for sharpening edged tools is disclosed. The vertically oriented honing guide for sharpening edged tools eliminates nearly all setup time and is compatible with commercial products by orienting the tools vertically and through the use of a linear guide system. This eliminates the need for tool clamping, facilitates direct angle setting, improves ergonomics, and allows the use of generic sharpening media. Yet, the vertically oriented honing guide for sharpening edged tools may alternatively incorporate a clamping mechanism to clamp tools being sharpened.

- a rotating tool holder assembly;
- and
- a sliding sharpening media holder assembly.
