that screws the whole thing together. r
"The blade is held automatically in alignment The adjustment
is positive and instantaneous, controlled by a twist of the screw handle
and the flexibility of the blade itself. No clips, catches or springs.
No need for stropping or honing." ; ' " T': :'V'1,-;" -;'
