Professional 11.5 Inch Ceramic Honing Rod Has 2 Grit Options, a Firm-Grip Handle, Hanging Ring, and Japanese Ceramic. Noble Home & Chef Sharpening Rods are Perfect for Chefs! (White, 1000/2000 Grit)

The sharpening steel that came with our knife set wasn't working to my satisfaction. I decided to get this honing rod because it had two grits on one rod. It's very easy to use. Our knives are much sharper now. Out of the 16 knives in the set, I had trouble with only one knife, don't know why, but it just took a little more persistence to finally get a good edge. The knives seem to stay sharper longer and redoing the edge is much easier now. I highly recommend this rod. IT WORKS!

Very good quality, it matched my expectation! The white color it tells you how much metal is being removed so you can control the pressure while sliding the knife.

Good honing rod, not sure if it is the best solution. I had better results with the diamond coated type, but they are not durable and don't last. This will last - if you don't drop it and break it.

When it comes to ceramic honing rods, you really can’t ask for much more with this one. The materials are nice and the rod and handle are sleek and the construction is solid. The two different grits feature is the best, and I love how effectively they perform when used in order! The lower grit can grind out bad/worn edges back to good shape, then the higher grit takes that edge to body-shaving sharp in no time. The rod is long enough to hone any kitchen knife. This is a very fair price, too, and it’s hard to find a ceramic hone this cheap that performs this well! I personally love using it for my pocket or outdoor knives after I’ve stone-sharpened them because it just works so well! Now I just need to get the black one and I’ll be complete.

La verdad muy buena chaira ..se siente sólida no hueca .... yo trabajo en cargill ya con eso pueden imaginar el uso que le doy.. la versatilidad de tener dos caras dos granos es perfecto pues tener todo en una sola es maravillo literal 2 pasadas por cada una super la recomiendo..excelente

I have found that this honing rod works a lot better for keeping my kitchen knives sharp than my steel honing rod ever did. I like the longer length, which allows one to get the entire length of the blade at one stroke.

Dull knives are the bane of any cooks prep time. This sharpener has two honing surfaces and the rough one does a great job. Take a fairly dull knife, hone it 5 times on each side on the rough file and two on the smoother. You will be amazed at the edge provided. Fast, easy and reliable. You won't be filing the metal off your good knives on a belted sharpener. Gave one as Christmas or birthday presents to all my cooking friends and families.

Unfortunately the knifes leave marks on the white rod.

Good product.

This is a must have if you love to have a razor sharp kitchen knife all the time every time

Does was it says on the box. If a softer steel will show up on the steel. High carbon knifes work good on it. You knife needs to be sharp to start with

Product arrive already use and damage.

This -well-designed- white stick and it's two different surfaces do wonderful things to your knives. They did it to mine, I got right in there and helped make those wonderful things happen. Using this thing feels like making the Actual Jesus of Nazareth climax.
