Dealer - Purveyor
(I'm not really a dealer, but I couldn't say I was a maker any longer, either.) Riverside Machine File Guide. I went out of the knife making business a couple of years ago because I couldn't forge Damascus any longer. I've been selling off equipment and all of the major equipment is gone.
I used this guide for several of years and it is really amazing. Nothing seems to touch the working surfaces. They're just sort of polished. There are no scratches, nor can I feel anything that has affected the guide surfaces. (You can see what I assume are surface grinder marks on the surfaces from when Riverside machined it.) A great tool. New large guides on Riverside's website are $250. https://www.riversidemachine.net/ecommerce/large-carbide-file-guide.html This one is older and has the built-up surfaces rather than the glued on ones. - about five inches long in it's longest dimension. This is probably the better one for large knives.
Price does not include shipping which, with insurance looks like about $12.00 USPS flat rate. If you live in the Portland, Oregon area, you can pick it up.
