TOGRIP Knife Sharpening Angle Guide
The TOGRIP angle guide is a clever little tool designed to make sharpening easier and more consistent. Its dual-sided design lets you use it with both large and small knives, giving you flexibility no matter what you’re sharpening. Simply slide the guide over the spine of your knife, and it instantly sets a precise sharpening angle.
Clear English instructions are printed on the box, and we think this is one of the best angle guides on the market today. The TOGRIP features large ceramic glides that ride smoothly on your stone, protecting the plastic body from wear. For extra care, we recommend applying a strip of blue painter’s tape on your blade to avoid any minor scuffs where the guide contacts the steel.
This model is fixed to a single angle (specified on the packaging) and is intended for double-bevel knives only. It’s a great way to build confidence and develop proper technique before moving on to freehand sharpening using muscle memory.
Not suitable for single-bevel knives.

Great DevicePosted By: Michael Wilson
This is a great little tool for sharpening angles on knives. Pretty much foolproof. I’ve used it on my whetstones and used it on my diamond sharpener. Just put some painters tape on the ceramic strips so they don’t contact the diamond surface. Gets knives razor sharp. Very pleased with it.

I should have bought this years ago. It's simple and is very effective--I used it on my two Japanese stones to get a decent edge on some dull knives. Like many people, I've always found it hard to find and maintain a proper angle when using a sharpening stone. This simple device makes it much easier. You won't become an expert, but you'll do a lot better job using this device. It definitely gives me more confidence to use my sharpening stones.

Tool seems useful. Horrendous description by the seller.Posted By: Brian

To preface this review, it is important to say that, for what this guide is, it seems to work perfectly fine. The problem is not with the item, but with the description of the item by the seller.
First, the seller does not specify that this guide is set to only one angle, and they do not specify what angle that is (it is specified on the packaging you'll get). Second, the description does not say that the manufacturer explicitly says to not use the angle guide on single bevel knives - this would have been very useful information pre-purchase, as my primary knife is single-bevel. Pretty much the only things the seller gets correct in the description is that using tape is a good idea, the ceramic bumper makes use with a stone smooth and easy, and that it is, in fact, some type of angle guide.
Again, I think the item itself is perfectly fine. If you are sharpening a double-bevel knife with a generic 22 degree angle, then this will fit your needs perfectly. However, if you have a variable collection, maybe not so much. I am extremely disappointed with the description by the seller, and felt incredibly mislead when my package arrived.

Heck of a useful toolPosted By: Cameron - verified customer

I'm a newbie and I haven't got the knack for getting just the right angle for sharpening my knives. But this guide is perfect -- it doesn't slip around and is simple to use. I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to get the most out of their knives but doesn't sharpen them frequently enough to master the skill.
