I may try rigging up some way of beveling the edges on the knurls I have using a Dremel tool with a grinding stone.

Yes you'll need a right and left knurls for diamond knurling, but 30º knurls are more common than 45º. They produce the typical diamond shape knurl pattern. The pitch I use most is 20tpi, but I also have 25 tpi for a bit coarser pattern. I also have some 35tpi straight knurls which I use a lot.

The last time I chamfered the edges, I just mounted them on a bolt and chucked it up in the cordless drill. All it took was a light touch on the belt sander to do the job.
