Hi, i got the sharpmaker from Spyderco and a ATS34 blade on a 812s from B ig M ama. It took nearly forever to get it back sharp. So i used a cheap Apex fine grit stone at first and it worked great. After that i went down to finer grits and the Spyderco rods and finished with the ultra fine rods and a benchstone from IKEA.

I did this twice and it was always shaving sharp at first and lost it in a second. So, don´t worry, if it doesn´t stay shaving sharp for long.
