Cheaper Alternatives for Sharpmaker Diamond Rods?

Hey steel130, it sounds like you only got one set of ruby triangle rods, correct?

If that works for re-profiling, then that would be optimal -- in terms of cost, speed and even storage getting only a single additional set would be the most convenient.

PS I think you meant you got 320 grit(?) they don't seem to have the Ruby in 360

Yep I only got one set. And they are the 320 grit. They work well and cut quickly. I reprofiled some S30V the other night and it took about 15 minutes to set the 30* Edge. After that the brown stones work really well for softer stuff although on S30V its slow going. However CPM154 they work great too. I the only other stones I would like to get are the ultra fine stones from Spyderco, although a 30* edge finished on the white fine stones whittles hair. I am a sharpening noob and this works great for me! My next upgrade is paper wheels after I go visit Richard J, I mainly want that for 9 inch blades ect. Although I sharpened my Zombie War Sword just fine on the SM haha.
