Iffn I'm thinkin of the same thing...  it looks kinda like a miniature 
springboard with a threaded rod/nut to adjust the height of the end of 
something like soundboard steel, which has a specific height block attached 
a specific distance from the tip.

block at tip adds the proper height to the tip which has been set at the 
tab height so's you can set the underside of the knife. (approximately)

camera's at home  - will get a picture online after work, if nobody else has.
