the idear as I always understood it is starting with brown/grey, once burr is worked up and removed.....move to fine or white. same deal burr and removed. then ultra fine if wanting to keep refining the edge.

start with diamond or cbn ones if reprofiling or sharpening out chips or damage edge. and work your way up.

there used to be a video included on how to use the sharpener and ceramics....starring Sal himself

Yes, it's on YouTube, and thank you for the posts.

The ultra-fine rod looks just like the white rod that comes with the Sharpmaker, but it has a dyed-red to stand out. I have one rod, but lack the mate. It's around here somewhere. You'd think I would keep them together.

Has anyone used those roller sharpeners? I'm considering getting one of those. 🔪
