Anyone have one? I have a oneway handle and very much like it but am looking for a cheaper solution. These look nice but I'm wondering how they hold up.

Thanks

They are great, a bit on the heavy side, found I needed to remove my tool to sharpen. He has an online store (http://www.thewoodworkersnetwork.com/) too, service is very good.

I have two of them, use them with my Thompson bowl gouges. I really like them, although most of my tool handles aren't nearly that heavy, because they provide a lot of stabilization that really counters the weight of the Thompson gouges. I wouldn't use them with most tools, but with the gouges they're great. I don't have any problem with sharpening. I didn't buy the second one until I'd used the first one for a while, to be sure I liked it, but I'd order another again, at this point.
