    I used to buy small (about 1.5x3 inches) diamond sharpening plates
    at Sears in their sporting goods section. They were sold for hunters
    and were $5 - came in a small leather holder. I have several which
    I've had for years and use them to shape my flex shaft hard rubber
    disks for polishing. When they get too gunky I just scrub them off
    with ammonia and a brush and they are good to go again. These little
    sharpeners may be too small for sharpening a graver but just thought
    I'd throw this in. They are great for keeping "knife edged" discs
    indeed knife edged.
