A sharpening and faceting holder for manually sharpening or faceting an object on a honing surface, the holder comprising:

• a cylindrical body extending along a central longitudinal axis and having a first end, a second end and an opening formed transversely through the cylindrical body between the first end and the second end, the opening having a tool support surface;
• an adjustable clamping component comprising:
• a fastening plate extending along a central longitudinal plate axis and having a top surface, a tool support surface, and convex ends, wherein the convex ends define a plurality of plate end openings extending generally towards a fastening plate center, the fastening plate configured to be positioned within the opening and rotatably adjustable about the fastening plate center, wherein the fastening plate has the top surface and a tool engaging surface configured to hold the object against the tool support surface;
• and
• an adjustable fastener extending through the cylindrical body to engage the top surface of the fastening plate and configured to exert a holding force on the object;
• a first retaining pin extending longitudinally through a first elongated opening in the first end and configured to engage one of the plurality of plate end openings;
• a second retaining pin extending longitudinally through a second elongated opening in the second end and configured to engage an opposite one of the plurality of plate end openings;
• and
• a plurality of roller members disposed within a longitudinal raceway formed in a lower portion of the body below the opening, wherein the plurality of roller members are aligned to roll in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis of the cylindrical body and wherein an axis of rotation of each of the plurality of roller members is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the cylindrical body.
