HexClad 9-Inch Japanese Damascus Stainless Steel Honing Rod for Home Cooks

About this item

• The smooth finish of the steel rod safeguards the blade during the honing process. Our honing rods feature a magnetic design to keep metal shavings from dispersing into the air or contaminating nearby food.
• For the best cutting performance, the minuscule "teeth" on your knife's edge should be periodically straightened. Sharpen the blade from the handle to the tip by placing the bottom of the blade at an angle on top of the sharpening rod. Repeat this process, then switch to the opposite side of the tip until the blade is as sharp as you like it.
• This 9-inch honing rod features a total length of 14 inches, with a 9-inch Japanese Damascus stainless steel honing surface. Its 5-inch Pakkawood handle offers a comfortable, ergonomic grip.
• HexClad cutlery carries a lifetime warranty against manufacturer's defects. It does not cover damage from improper use or storage, accident, loss, or theft. Cutting on hard surfaces, dishwasher use, dulled blades, rust, discoloration, and bent/broken blades, and foodservice use will also void this warranty.
• With proper care, your HexClad pairing knife will last for generations. Use a magnetic knife block for optimal storage, hand wash, and towel dry all of your cutlery. Do not put it in the dishwasher. Hone it frequently.
