I purchased an aftermarket riser for the Work Sharp® Elite Knife Sharpening Solution. It makes sharpening easier and helps you keep a consistent edge angle. I got the idea from ‪@SharperByMichael‬ . Be sure to subscribe to Michael's KZfaq Channel.
I purchased it on Etsy:

I thought it was a unique upgrade and will come in handy for the workshop.

Description from Jon at PrintSharpCo
Introducing a 3-piece adapter set 3D printed to enhance your knife sharpening experience on the Worksharp knife sharpening system with the Ken Onion Blade Grinding attachment. This innovative design elevates the base reference surface closer to the sharpening area on the belt, ensuring a consistent and precise angle during the sharpening process. While its primary purpose is to optimize sharpening, some users may find it doubles as a convenient work rest while sharpening.
Included in this set are two versatile sliders that move back and forth, allowing you to get even closer to the belt's surface during use. Please do be careful not to touch the belt or it will wear away the slider. The pointed slider offers exceptional access for smaller knives and those with full bolsters.
- Improves angle consistency during sharpening and can also be used as a work rest
- Designed for the Worksharp system with the Ken Onion blade Grinding attachment
- Features two sliders for enhanced proximity to the belt.
Please note that this 3-piece set is tailored exclusively for the Worksharp system with the Ken Onion Blade Grinding attachment. It won't fit other Worksharp systems without this specific attachment. Installation is a breeze, simply slide it onto the right-hand side of the sharpener.
Our product is manufactured under license from the original authors (u/Potrnak02 & u/Timinator6) with their permission. We've made slight design modifications to enhance tolerances, resulting in a snug fit on the base of the blade grinding attachment. Moreover, we've added resistance to the top plates to secure them firmly in place. Upon arrival, the sliders may be a tad tight. If smoother gliding is desired, apply a drop or two of your preferred lubricant to the channels on the riser.
Crafted from PLA plastic filament using 3D printing technology, these adapters are rigid, though not intended for heavy downward pressure. Expect some minor blemishes on the inside (underside during use) of the sliders, a natural outcome of the manufacturing process and support removal. Elevate your knife sharpening game with this meticulously designed adapter set.
