About this item

  • WHITE CERAMIC: Only diamonds are harder than the Shenzhen white ceramic knife sharpeners; the ceramic alumina is rust resistant, stronger than traditional steel, and has an HRC hardness rating of 68
  • HONE AND SHARPEN: Our rods have a slightly abrasive 1000 grit rating for realigning the knife edge; sweep your chosen blade along the rod to hone the edge and reduce the need for frequent sharpening
  • RECTANGULAR BLADE GUARD: The wide nylon handle fits comfortably into your hand and the rectangular blade guard is reinforced with zinc alloy to protect you from stray knife strokes while sharpening
  • PROFESSIONAL USE: The 12-inch sharpener is long enough for professional use; easily hone and straighten any stainless steel knife in your kitchen including chef knives, cooking and carving knives, and hunting knives (does not sharpen serrated blades)
  • HAND WASH ONLY: Remove gray streaks and buildup by hand washing the sharpening rod with mild dish soap and a sponge; the ceramic is breakable, so be careful not to drop the sharpener onto the floor

Good product, actually sharpens blades.

This is so much better than my previous steel honing rod. It sharpens my knife, doesn't just hone it. Happy with the product so far. Read more

Love this honing rod!

I've been using this honing rod for two months now and it's been by far the best rod I've ever used. It works well on all of my knives, but it takes a little more time and effort on my cheaper, lower quality knives. At this price point, I highly recommend this product. Read more

for the price its worth it.

Quality ceramic rod. does its job and sharpens my knives. The handle is plastic and silver part looks like metal but is actually plastic as well. Handle could be better quality, 1 star off. But for the price its still worth it. Read more

12" ceramic rod hones and sharpens with 1000 European (FEPA-F) grit equal to 3000 Japanese (JIS)

This isn't just a honing rod. It also sharpens knives because the grit is within the 1000-3000 JIS grit range (ideal for sharpening moderately dull knives that aren't damaged or chipped). The seller has a US address (Hawaii, US) and the box says it is made in China. The build quality is better than expected. The handle has a nice feel and the small hand guard isn't round to prevent the rod from rolling off your table. The rod is solid ceramic so I keep it inside the original box to protect it from breaking. I used this ceramic rod on a couple of old santoku knives (Tranmontina "stain-free high carbon German steel") and it did a nice job of restoring them to usable shape. You can see the sharpness of a knife by having a light source behind you and seeing how much light is reflected by the blade edge. If the blade is sharp enough, it won't reflect any light visible to you. About 5-10 gentle swipes on each side of the blade should do it. For non-professional cooks, it's probably good enough to use once per week to keep knives reasonably sharp and honed. I may not bother with a separate 4000-6000 JIS grit sharpener to use as a finishing step. Read more
