The "Buck Honemaster" is my favorite sharpening guide. Fortunately I was able to pick up a couple when I learned they were to be discontinued several years ago. I modify mine by removing the corners so that the length of the edge that grips the blade is about one and three quarters inches instead of three inches. This modification allows it to be used on a variety of blade lengths.

howefd you do that? I also noticed that it was hard to sharpen short blades with it

Unfortunately I have no means to provide a photograph. I hope my attempt at description is understandable. I used a dremel, but a hacksaw and file will work. Mark the bottom edge 5/8 " in from each side. Make a mark on each side edge 1/2" up from the bottom edge. Connect the marks and then remove the triangular piece on each corner. HTH
