This is a link to a video of a patented 1914 honing machine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0skSChLqj-o
It's up on eBay for 500 bones:

The vid is short and worth a view--pretty cool that it does x-strokes, flips the blade, and the blade pressure is adjustable.
Have fun with this one!
Thats prety cool. I wouldnt trust it but still a cool machine.
Neat, but that would kill all the enjoyment I get from honing blades manually. :)

It was probably intended to be set up and ran until it produced an edge all the way down the blade. I'm guessing it didn't work all that well since they don't seem to be available in high numbers, heh.
