Rods are for touching up an edge, not for heavy duty sharpening. You really need a good carborundum stone for the initial shaping of the edge.
Something like this set at Home Depot:  http://www.homedepot.com/p/Stanley-C...-050/202883308

I'll ask the question... what type of knife are you trying to sharpen? particularly.... what Steel? I have a Zero Tolerance blade that is so hardened that my Wicked Sharp system takes forever to set that "paper slicing" edge.
Rather than the system, you might be dealing with a hardened blade... My blade is a S30V steel. Incredibly hard.

as already states the sharpemaker is a great tool! Used to keep sharp things sharp but it is not for making an edge....so start with a flat stone, get a good edge and finish on the sharpmaker.
Jim is right on the money with what's pictured....
