Get one of these. It is so heavy you hardly need a holder...
2.3 pounds of metal with diamond surfaces.

Steel plates from Lee Valley for diamond paste. One plastic tray with silicone pads from Stu at Tools from Japan.
Everything packs into a small bundle. It avoids cross contamination I foresee with a three-stone holder. You only need a few drops of water. Also, steel does not break, or warp, or wear too quickly; and LV's must be stainless.

OP here.
Thanks for the replies.
I came up with this:
Honing plate stuck down with carpet tape after the picture was made....it is upside down.
Will see how it all works out.
