Knafs Docking Station Sharpening Plate and Strop Holder Upgraded
Remixed version of the Knafs Docking Station. There is space for a few more additions, but I wanted to keep it relatively simple.
Materials:
-Knafs pocket diamond stone
-Knafs strop
-4.5"x3/8" ceramic rod
-Knafs ruler (optional)
-2x 12mmx3mm cylinder magnet (optional)
-4mmx6mm cylinder magnet (optional)
-3x 4mm micro bits (optional)
Changes include:
-Tightened up a lot of the dimensions. More tweaking may be needed to account for unit variation, this was done based off of my items, which may be different from yours.
-The diamond plate slot narrows on the inside to hold the plate better.
-Added a slide-on cover for the diamond plate to prevent it from destroying anything if you throw it in a bag.
-The strop slot is no longer open on one side. Bend the strop to insert and remove. Store abrasive side down to avoid stropping things in your bag.
-The strop slot has been widen to fit a Knafs ruler underneath it.
-Added a hole down the center that fits a 3/8" ceramic rod. This can be used with the angle guides after removing the diamond plate.
-Insert 12x3mm magnets from the strop side around the ceramic rod. These are not necessary unless you want to carry screwdriver bits or the printed bit driver.
-Insert a 4x6mm magnet into the bit driver, store in one end of the ceramic rod hole against the 12mm magnet.
-Store 3x 4mm micro bits on the other side of the ceramic rod hole. A hole cap is included.
Change log:
1/17/26: changed the plate cover to hold with more of a detent style rather than friction. I found that the old version would loosen up a bit over time.
