So I'm thinking the "rods" go in the aluminum stand to form a V. So 2 of the rods are the same grit, you slide the knife down the inside of the V on the left, then down the right side, alternating. This will be the final honing stage after using the coloured stones, which have different coarseness to them. (it may be very hard to tell)
Maybe goggle Whetstone grades, coarseness, knife sharpening....
The rods are attached to the stones with the thumb screws. The knife is held in the aluminum holder in the small recess at the end. The rods attached to the stones are used as a guide in the holder. The guide rods go into the slots on the holder. I think there are 4 or 5 slots that you can use for the different sharping angle on the knife blade.
