Not sure how many of you use the Spyderco Shapmaker, I had one for quite awhile and while I love it I have a couple of knives that I could never quite get the edge on that I quite liked.
I ordered a couple ruby stones from Congress Tools, a 120 grit and 320 grit and in a very short time I could shave with these two blades.
I had gotten to the point that I almost bought a power sharpener even though that really didn't sit right with me.
Even better, the rods from Congress Tools cost a fraction of those made for the Sharpmaker, they don't market them as Sharpmaker rods but the 1/2 in triangles fit it perfectly.
