Total 45 cm/Rod Length 30 cm Ceramic Sharpening Steel Rod with Built-in Angle Guides and Anti-Breaking Cap, Honing to Razor-Sharp Knives, Ceramic Knife Sharpener, Ceramic honing Rod

EASY TO USE AND EFFECTIVE.

Great piece of kit

I needed a Ceramic Honing Rod which was of a sensible length without costing stupid money. My 'go to brand' for all things knife sharpening is Work Sharp, however their Ceramic Honing Rod was/is a lot more to buy so I thought I'd give this brand a try. So far it has done what I want it to. Like many other companies they have copied Work Sharp's Angle Guide for this honing rod. It is fixed at 20° which is adequate for most non-specialist knives. The anti-slip rubber tip on the tip of the rod is also adequate in that it does help stop the tip of the rod slipping away. Definitely a good thing when you have a knife being sharpened in your other hand. If I have one minor issue with this honing rod in that the rubber tip isn't also an angle guide (maybe a tad larger too) . This would make getting the angle on the upward pass more accurate and enabling using one's dominate hand for both downward and upward passes rather than keep changing hands to hone each edge using the guide. It's minor but it is a niggle nonetheless. I'd recommend this product based on my using it on a lot of my various tupes of knives for a couple months.

Effective for sharpening. For daily touch up I use a steel. Good angle guide on handle. Protective cap is usefull too. Looks like it will last.

Great for keeping a sharp edge. Not so sure about reprofiling when the knife needs Apexing? But that could be me. I would buy again and recommend this product.

Quality item that works well in keeping sharp knives honed. Perfect size

An excellent tool for keeping a very sharp edge.

Not sure about it it seems to have gone smooth so doesnt feel as though its doing anything S

ottimo prodotto, con lame già buone ravviva il filo e le rende subito super tagliente, facile da utilizzare, lo consiglio

Affûtage couteaux

Fusil céramique d'excellente qualité avec un grain ultra fin. C'est avec cet outil que je peux reprendre le tranchant sur des lames de qualité forgées ou avec des aciers poudre ultra dur et affutés avec des pierres à eau de finition comme 3000 ou 8000. Il reprendra aussi un fil sur des couteaux de table ou de cuisine très facilement.

I have a number of beautiful, razor-sharp, Japanese-made knives in my kitchen, and they cannot be honed on a regular honing steel, as the steel the knives are made of is harder than that of the honing steel. This makes a ceramic rod a necessity, and this rod does an excellent job maintaining the edge of my knives without worrying about damaging them. If you are looking at this item, you already know what it does and why you need one, so all I will add is that it does just what is expected and does it well for a very good price. You will not regret buying one.

köpt som julklapp och ägaren är mycket nöjd.
