Hello Fred,
I watched the whole video. I thought the most interesting part was at around 31:00 where you explain how the two parts don't come together. That is probably the most important part (to me) because it won't pinch the blade and rip steel. I'm interested in what others here think.

Good sharpening,
Dave

The alignment pin working with the accurate abrasive surfaces helps in this area as well. But setting the carbides apart and having a place for the metal and fluid channel away is something that can be felt in the hand holding the knife.

Good sharpening to you as well, Fred
