All of their products are listed as discontinued.
eBay may be an option

I liked the Gatco better than the Lansky system. The Gatco had wider hones and an improved method of attaching the rod to the hone.
I'm pretty sure Amazon has them.

Amazon only has them from third parties and the prices are ridiculous.

When I go to the Gatco website:
http://www.gatcosharpeners.com/
I get:

I'm wondering if I should have bought Lansky...

gatco, lansky...either one...no great loss...
