I cant tell you how much I love mine.
>Geometrically superior>Only a small, flat, easily controllable area in contact with blade at any time (The absolute best for flat grind sharpening)>Never have grind flat or re-grind>Errors will leave a much smaller blemish on the piece you're sharpening>Easy to clean, does not require oil>Sharpest I've ever gotten a knife was with ceramic rods (Verified with microscope)My rods are all I use anymore, I can't describe the feeling but when I find the right angle, its like I can feel the edge like, mate with the sharpening surface. Its just the bee's knees.
