Lately I have used a few Non Stones or Conventional Sharpeners to Sharpen or Touch up My Knives. The Latest Being a Piza Stone. That one Worked Very Well on some Kitchen Knives, I have used The Bottoms of Plates, Saucers., and Cups with exposed Ceramic, I exspecially like those for Sharpening Broadheads and smaller knife blades. Any one else find unconventional Things to Sharpen with?
 
The odd thing I have used to sharpen a knives has been any harden steel tool with a smooth surface.

[Snark] I have NEVER been able to sharpen a knife with an aluminum cleaning rod. Everyone on the internet tells me they are coated with aluminum oxide same as a whetstone. Maybe I should stop wiping mine with an oilky patch after use. [/snark]

I've always had to turn eventually to using a block of carborundum, but that's common.

Ceramic rods from an industrial heat treat furnace. I still have some pieces from that furnace and I haven’t worked there in about 15 years. Not sure where they are, but they are here. It’s almost identical to the coarse stones you get in a set like this
