One from usa knife maker has been out of stock literally for years lol.

Cant make one, saw the one from hardcore but like most of their stuff $140 is a bit over priced.

Anyone know of another? I realize a lot of guys cut and then RIP them and with the higher grits I can but 60-220 cant without badly frayed edges
 

Forgive the rambling nonsense, but here's a vid I made a while back.

Basically, you just take a couple of 1-2-3 blocks (which most knifemakers already have), and sandwich a razor blade between them. A couple of pieces of flat stock of any kind on the outside of your 1-2-3 block sandwich will keep the belt guided down the middle. I used some bolts just to keep everything flat and lined up, but if you can also just clamp everything together, or if you're careful, just put it all in your vise and tighten the handle.

Easy peasy.

Just make one from a few pieces of wood and a utility knife blade. You place the guide pieces to set the width of cut.
 
I bought the Hardcore because it's the only one that does more than just split in half. I can split 1/4" wide if I want, and I do.
