I have noticed a number of angle guides being sold lately. I typically sharpen free hand on a bench stone. Which one do you like the best? Are they mostly the same in terms of using one? How large a knife is it practical to sharpen with the angle guide?

I was looking at the DMT version but have no experience with them or any angle guides other than on the sharpening systems which I tend to not like.

Thanks in advance for any responses.
 
Sounds like the one made by Razor Edge and DMT are the best. I have no experience to judge one way or the other.

Added: Seeing them (pictures) does not really tell me which one is easier to use. I buy enough trinkets that just get tossed after trying to use them a time or two. If I don't buy anything, I will probably look at the DMT at their booth at Blade in a couple months.

Spring clamp, table top, 1x4, and a 1/16" thick piece of shim stock. You might need a stone sleeve to keep the stone from rubbing the edge of the table top, or you can put a stone on a handle.
