Whetstone Base for Kitchen Knife Sharpening Guide 17 Degrees

What it is

This is a base for the Kitchen Knife Sharpening Guide 17 Degrees by Meuon:

The guide needs the stone top at a set height above the surface its legs slide on. My thin stones sat too low, so the guide stood too far from the stone. Stacking two stones fixed the height, but loose stacked stones shift and rub on each other.

This base holds one thin stone up at the right height. The guide legs glide on the flat rails on each side of the stone.

Fit and dimensions

• Stone size: 12 x 66.5 x 185 mm

• Stone top: 21 mm above the rails

• Raised stone bed: 62 mm wide, 9 mm tall

• End stops hold the stone at both short ends and sit 2 mm under the stone top

• Rails: 14 mm wide on each side

• Overall: 193.5 x 94 x 23 mm

There are no side walls along the long edges of the stone. The guide legs run down right next to the stone, so side walls would block them.
