I’d already installed all of the mods except the “Thin Blade Support”. Just before vacation I sent the block to Will for the necessary mod, and it was back modded with the necessary Ram components and “V” notched blade support before I returned.
Here it is in action with the first knife since the mod, and it certainly makes sharpening a long thin blade easy. Thanks for thinking of all these mods. It has made my sharpening life a happy one.
