Work Sharp Kitchen Ceramic Honing Rod - Angle Guided - For Chef, Santoku, Paring, & Serrated Knives Black

Really excellent for kitchen use. Quite possibly the best honing rod I’ve used. Ceramic seems superior to steel in both was of use and results. A few quick passes and my knives are effortlessly slicing again. The guide for angle of use is also very handy. This makes use easy even for beginners.

I bought this specifically to sharpen the curved blades of my karambit knives, for which it works very well. It should be noted that this is not a "sharpening tool", per se, but a honing tool. It is made to increase the sharpness of an already sharp blade that has gotten slightly dull. It is well made and incorporates a sharpening angle in the handle. I have only used it on my karambits and a few kitchen knives so far, and I've only had it for a few weeks, so I can't speak to its longevity or durability. It does put a very keen edge on knives. My kitchen knives slice through tomatoes effortlessly, making slices so thin they are almost transparent if I want to do that. I don't think it will work on serrated knives. Again, it won't do anything for a really dull blade. But if you have a knife that has lost that fine edge from use, this will restore it to almost razor sharpness.

This works really well and the blade guide for the proper angle is huge for an inexperienced user.

I wish it had a second set of angle guides for Japanese knives, and that it was a few inches longer. Otherwise, seems like a good quality product.

This is a great honing rod at a great price! I like that it has the angle guide, as I am teaching my son how to properly sharpen knives. It is a good length to comfortably sharpen even long chef knives. The rubber end lets you sharpen knives vertically supported on a countertop or butcher block, and doesn't interfere if you are sharpening your knife while holding it freely. If you get in the habit of running your knives over a rod after each use, it is very quick to keep your knives in top condition. Highly recommended.

This product is very effective and easy to use.

Awesome tool. Quickly put a razor sharp edge on our kitchen knives.

Gone are the days of dull kitchen knives. This makes my life so much easier being able to quickly re sharpen my kitchen blades. the guard makes the process a breeze. Cannot recommend enough!
