SHARPAL 118H Ceramic Honing Rod - Professional Knife Sharpener Steel

I'm very pleased with this honing rod. It has a nice, solid feel to it, and the handle is comfortable to grasp and hold. The rubber end tip is effective to keep the rod firmly planted in place when it's used vertically, and can be removed should you want to use it in a more freehand fashion. The 20 degree angles on the handle are helpful. One quibble is that I would have liked to see a 15 degree guide in addition to the 20 degree ones, but it's not a significant issue. This works great to hone an already sharpened blade to an excellent edge. I use it before each knife use and it has significantly extended the time before the blade needs a full sharpening. It's quick, easy and effective -- the three criteria I look for the most when it comes to keeping a blade at peak sharpness. Very good value for the price.

Keep my Japanese knife nice and sharp. Good material, good value for the price

It works well; just have to have the right angle which is set at the handle. Just hold that angle all the way down the ceramic sharpener. It works better than the steel I have. Recommend.

I have never used a honing rod to sharpen knives but this one I absolutely love it so far the handle puts me on the right angle sharpening

Works very well on all my kitchen knives. Easy to use and works quickly.

If you own a Damascus blade this is a must. Will turn gray while using but just scrub it good or use some light sand paper and cleans up like brand new.

The knife honing stick worked fine for a few months. I then noticed that the knives were not getting sharp as before. Upon close inspection, I noticed that the pores of the sharpening rod were clogging up. I used abrasive pads to remove the upper layers that were clogged and the sharpening rod works relatively well. However, it now clogs more often and has to be cleaned more often. I don't think I will purchase this again. The rod is too soft for honing hardened knives.

After sampling a little ceramic thing at a sporting goods store and being impressed with the results I decided to find a good ceramic honing rod. When I got this thing I set about honing every knife I own and it put a shaving sharp edge on them all with relative ease. I am thoroughly impressed with this honing rod and would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking to touch up their blades quick and easy

It’s good especially for price does stain easily with metal swarf

Bell’oggetto ! Non serve per affilare ma per lucidare il filo della lama .

This has a very fine grained ceramic , very hard which cuts my kitchen knives with consumate ease, leaving them razor sharp. I actually bought this to hone my serated bread knife as it has a round section . It is great for all.

This is way better than the old age steel and I would trust nothing else with my 1000$ jap knife
