Ken Onion Blade Grinding Attachment Leveling Surface Adapter

thingiverse

I've been using the Work Sharp Ken Onion Blade Grinding Attachment for a few weeks and it is an amazing adapter for the base tool. I find it easier than the standalone sharpener. The one place I struggled with was keeping the knife level as I raised it from the leveling plate to the sanding belt. To help my accuracy, I designed this slide on jig that raises the leveling plate by about 1 1/4in. or 2cm. I tried higher and lower but lower wasn't useful and higher got in the way of some passes with larger knife handles. The jig slides on and off for storage or comfort. For printing, lay it flat in the print bed with the notch pointing up and no supports will be needed (that was key to the design!). That orientation also allows the layer lines to be in the optimal configuration as well for durability.
