Just a cheap loupe but I don't remember the power, in the 20x -40x range I think.

Mainaman,
What is the power of that one? I'm always looking for a better mouse trap, but it looks like that one is only 30x.

I use 2 microscopes. For honing assessment of the bevel and edge, I use a Zeiss stereomicroscope which has magnification ranging from 11x to 63x.
For assessment of hones by examining their effects on edges, I use a Brock Magiscope with magnification capacity of 20x, 40x, 50x, 100x, 200x, and 400x. The great thing about both of these scopes is that they have great resolution.

I'm going to sound as old school as Leonardo Da Vinci but I use my eyes and this.
I'm as blind as a bat; I can't even see the big letter 'A' on the eye chart un-aided (normally I wear contact lenses, and in the evening my glasses) but when I hone I find it best to wear no glasses at all and get up really close...
Stranger, if you passing meet me and desire to speak to me, why should you not speak to me? And why should I not speak to you?

I'm not sure if my edit took so I wanted to still reply. I thought I bought mine on ebay, but it must have been Amazon. This little microscope works like a charm and I'm pretty sure you will be very satisfied with it. I was checking out all kinds of digital microscopes and found this one gave the best magnification, but couldn't record it because it wasn't electronic. I bought mine several years ago, so maybe there's something digital available now.

I use something similar to this, nothing trick or expensive but it gets the job done and done well.

I see there is some glare that may make it hard to see the model of it. It is an MM-200, 60-100x power, LED, lighted, zoom mocroscope.
