I've had a 204 for about a year and a half, and there is no better sharpener out there. Sure, I ahve coarse sandpaper for rough profiling, and really fine paper (1000 grit) for finishing, but nothing beats the 204 for quick and easy maintenance.
The 204 is my default no-scratch sharpener, as it's nearly impossible for me to scratch a blade using it. D2, 1095, ATS-34, it doesn't matter, 204 beats all. Running through the steps, then kissing it with 1000 grit and a strop results in an edge that both shaves hair and zips through rope and cardboard equally well.

Contact frank k in the passaround forum:

and see if there are possibilities. You might even be able to talk him or Spyderco through him into doing a new passaround if the old passaround Sharpmaker isn't available anymore.
