Wow ! Sold for a bunch o' money. Could buy a lotta hones with $494 :)
This is how it is supposed to work according to the patent:
Attachment 84094
The arms of the device can be fitted with strops or hones. Not sure how it would get over the 'V' shape of the blade, though...

Leave it to Neil Miller! :bow What a device! :dropjaw:
Not surprised that it sold for this much money. During the late 1800's, there was a great surge in people inventing and patenting gizmos and contraptions. Many were given patents but few made very many of their devices. There is quite a bit of collectors who pay top price for these contraptions no matter what they actually do.

Usually, the more strange it is, the higher dollar amount it will go.
