ceramic hone that will fit into 9/16" knife block slot?

[kdkrone]

I bought a second knife block and did not think to ask whether my ceramic hone would fit, which it does not. The slot in the new knife block is 9/16". Are there any good ceramic hones that are smaller than that diameter and at least 10" in length? We will still use our other knife block with a 12" ceramic hone, but we would like a hone for the second block, as well.

Thanks

Might want to check out the Idahone. They come in 10 and 12" and mine looks to be 1/2" diameter. Any way to open up the hole a little?

Thanks for pointing me in Idahone's direction. I had read good things about their hones in the past.
The hone will likely help to widen the hole over time....! It is a Miyaki block. I took your advice and ordered it. Should have about 2 mm clearance.... ;-)
