I just ordered Sharpmaker after looking at it for a while. I got all the stones too, can't wait to get my blades sharp again!

You won't regret it and having the optional stones is well worth the price,congrats!

eh, I wouldn't look foward to much to be honest. Not if you have felt what a really sharp knife can do!

The Spyderco Sharpmaker is an excellent tool. When you first sharpen each knife, it might take a bit longer due to setting up your angles. Since you have added all of the stones (basic kit plus diamond rods and ultra fine stones) you will be able to achieve razor sharp edges in less time than with the standard kit. If you plan to shave your face with the edges you create, I would suggest stropping before you actually start the shave.

It is an awesome sharpener! People I work with are amazed at how sharp my knives are. I got the paramilitary 2 used and was kind of dull, in about 20 minutes shaving sharp!

Are the Diamond rods only for when you need some really aggressive sharpening? Mild re-profiling?

Yes,you may not use them often but they can save you a lot of time.
