SHARPAL 118H Ceramic Honing Rod - Professional Knife Sharpener Steel

It’s good especially for price does stain easily with metal swarf

My old steel with a famous chef endorsement did not restore an edge to either my German or Japanese knives. This ceramic honing rod works.

Nice product. I bought one last year to top up the sharpness of my knives instead of a ridged steel which wasn't very effective and was wearing the edge more than helping.It keeps on top of the edge between proper sharpenings a couple of times a year on a diamond stone.It was so good I ended up giving it to my parents who were used to using a steel and always had blunt knives.So I replaced mine with this which is great and has an angle guide on the handle. It's not too long, having a 10in rod. Others with a 12in rod felt like they would be too unwieldy for home use. Hanging hole means I can hang it in a convenient place to grab and use as I need to.

A great product, however make sure your knife is suitable for ceramic or diamond steels! If your knife is western, hardened steel is the best option. I found this too abrasive on my German knife. This is more suited to Japanese knives and high hardness steel blades only! It is very well made and great value, the guides make it easy to use. Just make sure your knife is right for it!

Bell’oggetto ! Non serve per affilare ma per lucidare il filo della lama .

This has a very fine grained ceramic , very hard which cuts my kitchen knives with consumate ease, leaving them razor sharp. I actually bought this to hone my serated bread knife as it has a round section . It is great for all.

I'm very pleased with this honing rod. It has a nice, solid feel to it, and the handle is comfortable to grasp and hold. The rubber end tip is effective to keep the rod firmly planted in place when it's used vertically, and can be removed should you want to use it in a more freehand fashion. The 20 degree angles on the handle are helpful. One quibble is that I would have liked to see a 15 degree guide in addition to the 20 degree ones, but it's not a significant issue.This works great to hone an already sharpened blade to an excellent edge. I use it before each knife use and it has significantly extended the time before the blade needs a full sharpening. It's quick, easy and effective -- the three criteria I look for the most when it comes to keeping a blade at peak sharpness. Very good value for the price.

This is way better than the old age steel and I would trust nothing else with my 1000$ jap knife
