HAND WASH ONLY: Remove gray streaks and buildup by hand washing the sharpening rod with mild dish soap and a sponge; the ceramic is breakable, so be careful not to drop the sharpener onto the floor
WHITE CERAMIC: Only diamonds are harder than the Shenzhen white ceramic knife sharpeners; the ceramic alumina is rust resistant, stronger than traditional steel, and has an HRC hardness rating of 68
HONE AND SHARPEN: Our rods have a slightly abrasive 1000 grit rating for realigning the knife edge; sweep your chosen blade along the rod to hone the edge and reduce the need for frequent sharpening
PROFESSIONAL APPLICATION: The 12-inch sharpener is sufficiently long for professional applications, allowing you to effortlessly refine and align any stainless steel knife in your kitchen, such as chef knives, cooking knives, carving knives, and hunting knives (note: it does not sharpen serrated blades).
RECTANGULAR BLADE GUARD: The wide nylon handle fits comfortably into your hand and the rectangular blade guard is reinforced with zinc alloy to protect you from stray knife strokes while sharpening
