Mcmaster Carr sells carbon fiber rods which you could thread yourself if you get a 1/4″-28 die and die handle.
Carbon fiber rods are quite expensive at $50 plus shipping for a 48″ length.
They also sell rods in Garolite, which I believe is the equivalent of G10 and has some lubricity to it. It sells for $16 per 48″ rod.
I made my rods from precision stainless rods and I have two sets: one at about 11″ and another at 18″ for when I double-stack my low angle adapters to sharpen my Japanese knives to 8 dps. You only need three or move turns of the thread. A few more if you want to use a jam nut.
On second thought, I don’t know how stiff Garolite would be.
