The handle can be screwed into the side of the blade for honing. The scredriver fits in the base of the handle and is used to adjust the screw in the blade to increase blade exposure

Sliding the case backwards and forwards causes the blade holder to strop in both directions. The strop has two sides - Coarse and Fine.
