Ceramic Replacement Honing Rods/Crock Sticks for Idahone and other Knife Sharpeners (Pink Coarse Grit, 2)

I have a Crock Stick sharpener and white (fine) ceramic rods for it. I wanted some rough sticks too so bought these pink ones, but discovered the rough sticks are just a tiny bit thicker than the white rods and so won't fit in the holes in the base. I used a drill and enlarged the holes slightly so the pink rods will fit, and I can still use the white rods in the base. My sharpener is more than 25 years old so maybe newer kits use the larger rods automatically. Anyway, in a nutshell, the pink rods perform well and the seller got them to me on-time.

I've only had the fine (white colored) 2 sticks in my "Crock Stick" sharpener for years. FINALLY got around to adding these - WHAT A DIFFERENCE. They were just a bit thicker than the fine ones so I had to enlarge the holes a little.

Small item I purchased took more than two weeks to travel from Colorado to California when the item arrived it appear to be defective. Extremely disappointed with this vendor

VERY fragile! If your hone falls over that is it. All I have is two little pieces left.Not happy.

Course sharpening sticks. Just as advertised.

I liked the coarseness but they are not flat. Rolled it on counter and it wobbled fair amount. Not able to get as good edge as the one it replaced.
