About this model

This is a knife sharpening guide for 60 x 180 mm whetstones. It was inspired by this guide but is not a direct remix. Print either the rail flat.stl or the rail foot.stl model. If your stone came with a rubber bumper, you can print rail foot.stl and the rail will slip into the bumper, which greatly helps to prevent the whole assembly from sliding around while being used. If you do not have a rubber bumper, print rail flat.stl and make due. Print one or more of the sliders. If your stone came unglued like mine did, giving you two separate half-height stones, then print prop.stl. This sits in the rail, and then the now-half-height stone sits in it, propping it back up to its original height.
