MITSUMOTO SAKARI 10 inch Knife Sharpening Honing Rod, Japanese High Carbon Flat Honing Steel, Professional Kitchen Steel Knife Sharpener (ABS Handle & Powerful Magnet)

I have really come to like the M. Sakari brand. I purchased their culinary shears recently and was struck by their quality and heft. I went with their oval diamond sharpener and once again I am thrilled with the build quality of this piece. Packaged beautifully and with pride by the company. This is clearly not your ordinary grade sharpener/honer they throw in with your typical big box knife set. I recently purchased a professional Japanese set of VG10 steel knives and wanted a sharpening steel that would compliment their quality; I’ve no doubt this piece will perform and will likely outlast me. I typically have at least one gripe about any given product. But. Not this one.My current knife set is new and already razor sharp. As an initial test I took out one of my dull old backup AJ Henkel 6 inch utility chef’s knives and within about 45 seconds of swipes, it put a formidably sharp edge on it, ready to make quick work of vegetables. Works terrific and is a sensational buy for under $40 (what I spent sale priced). Recommended indeed!

This is a very good knife sharpener. The reason is simple, it is of good quality and feels firm in the hand. It saves time, effort and money, and the blade feels very sharp after use. that's why coworker let me help buys it.

Works better than I expected. Wasn’t handle and sharpens the edge very well. Not much effort needed

Solo tengo 1 semana de uso, pero va perfecto.Lo recomiendo

Esperaba más del producto. No he logrado obtener los mejores resultados. Tal vez debería traer un instructivo.

I loved its strong texture for sharpening knives, especially for professional knives.

High quality knife sharpener. Produces a perfect edge

I was using a ceramic rod sharpener I’ve had for ever but it never got my Japanese knife really sharp. I used this new sharpener rod and with just a few swipes my knife was super sharp. Should have bought it a long time ago.
