Has anyone used one of these, are they any good?

I was thinking about getting one, but I'm managing ok with a diamond disk and a rolling sharpener. hmm Clockboy uses one.

yes i've got one, I didn't get the gen Crocker one as far too expensive when i was starting out, they are very good as they hold the graver exactly at the correct angle, can be a little bit of a faff to set the graver flat on the stone but once there its good to go.

It’s the Cousins one I’m looking at just under £30. I think I’ll give it a go
