I'm sure someone must have brought this up before, but is the 204 plastic base avaiable separately? I've got my four month old 203 here, purchased from my local dealer before I even knew the 204 existed. Now I feel screwed because that extra 30 degree bevel would be really nice to have, but damned if I'm going to go buy a new 204 when I've got these brand new ceramic triangles here.
I recently tried to sharpen up my Nimravus and after thousands of strokes it's still just as dull as when it came from the factory. I believe that the edge is too thick, and thinning it down would fix this problem, but I can't very well do that with a fixed 20 degrees now, can I? BTW the 203 works great for most of my other knives.
On a related note, has anyone thought of, or actually rigged up some kind of variable angle "thingy" to hold the ceramic sticks? I was thinking of some kind of hinged arrangement clamped to a table with a protractor setup so that the angle of each stick would be continously variable...
