I think those are somewhere in the 200 to 250 grit range.

Fine diamond sharpening stones/rods normally have a 750-850 grit surface
I have both a 750 and a 900, both work great.
Hope it helps! :D

Coarser. About like a dmt "coarse" I would say...which is around 325. I have them and they work great. They are a must have for the sharpmaker IMO.

ya spydercos diamond stones for the 204 are course for reprofiling repairing edges etc... those are the only diamond rods for 204 the ultra fine rods are ceramic like the med and fine grits.
I have both a 750 and a 900, both work great.
