9 inch Ceramic Sharpening Rod for Metal Knives by Kyocera Advanced Ceramics

It is important to maintain your steel knives between uses to ensure safety. Using a dull knife can be dangerous, so Kyocera's sharpening rods are a great tool to have. The dual-sided surface of these rods allows for both sharpening and honing of a blade. Made of advanced ceramic, the ultra-efficient sharpening rod is close in hardness to diamond, ensuring durability and excellent results when re-sharpening or honing the cutting edge of your metal-based knives, scissors, and cutting tools. When dealing with an extremely dull metal-based knife or cutting tool, start by using the ribbed side of the ceramic rod to create a finely ribbed texture on the primary cutting edge. Then, use the smooth surface to hone or finish the edge. This sharpening rod has an overall length of 13.75” with a 9” long ceramic sharpening rod and a black handle. It is suitable for sharpening and honing steel knives, scissors, and other steel blades, but should not be used on ceramic knives. Additionally, the ceramic rod is rust-proof, lightweight, and easy to clean.
