Does anyone know of a good source for after market rods for the Spyderco Sharpmaker? My Sharpmaker (my newest one) has seen little usage an before I decide to stay with it or sell it I wanted to see if there is any other company selling rods that will fit this system.

Thanks everyone.
 
Thanks very much!
I have only one of the diamond rods plus the med. and fine but want to explore other possibilities too.
 
check out congress tools. They make triangle stones that fit the sharpmaker. I use the 320 grit ruby for reprofiliing, although recently it really hasn't seen any use.

I also recommend the UF rods---I use them all the time with excellent results.

That is good news. Do you know if there is any one especially good video clip besides what Spyderco made that shows any useful tips or advice on using the Sharpmaker? So far I only know not to use a lot of pressure. Using a Sharpie pen and cleaning the rods are the only tips I know about.

Thanks for your thoughts.
