Ideal for kitchen or the field

I bought it for the field (big game hunting to use in camp) but my wife will probably steal it for the house. She likes the size.
Recommend and will probably have to get a second one

Another great product

Admittedly I own a number of Worksharp knives and sharpeners and am very happy with all existing products.
Keep building great products Worksharp team, I like this Ceramic Honing rod it is well made and useful with the collection of knives that I need sharpened & honed.

works well

Works well on my kitchen serrated knives

Easy to use

This works great for keeping an edge on my longer knives. The blade guide is helpful to begin with, then you get the angle memorized quickly.

Top Shelf Honer

Quality, value, and reputation all rolled into one product.

Ceramic Honing Rod

Very nice honing rod. I like it much better than my diamond steel. Smooth and sharp edge.

Ceramic Honing Rod

It’s a great honing rod! The angle guide makes it so easy to use. I use it almost every day. However, I would like to know how to clean it? Otherwise, it’s probably one of the most used tools I have. I love it!

5 Stars

Just takes a few quick passes and you are back to a great edge

Ceramic Sharpener

I have used a ceramic thermal for the past 20+ years which will become my shop sharpening ceramic, the one purchased will serve the same purpose in the kitchen. It will work great for many years and be a good addition to my work sharp WSKTS sharpener kit. All my Old Hickory kitchen knives are staying as close to razor sharp as you can get them with very little effort and time.

Honing Rod

This rod was highly recommended. It works. A killer combo with the Ken Onion sharpener !

Honing Rod

Great piece and very easy to use.

Honing

Coveted Ceramic Honing Rod's are great to touch up a knife. Biggest danger dropping it. Be careful when laying it down, will break. I love mine for touch up while butchering meat. To be fair this is my second one because I dropped the first on. Be advised they are great.

Perfect for fine-tuning and for my serrated knives, love the angle guide feature!

Bring back the Microforge.

Please create a v2 of this honing rod with a 4-sided version of the angle guide -- 20 degrees on opposing sides, and 15 degrees on the other 2 sides. I would really love to get this but my Misen knives are all set to Eastern standard 15 degrees!

5 Stars

After purchasing about 4 different brand ceramic honing rods in which I was disappointed in all, I gave Work Sharps a try. You nailed it... A great honing rod. Puts on a great edge really fast. Highly recommended......

I always wanted to know what honing did!I have one in my knife block.

FAQs

What's the difference between a honing rod and a knife sharpener?

A honing rod maintains an already sharp edge by straightening and realigning the blade's microscopic edge, which can bend or roll during normal use. It's a maintenance step that extends cutting performance between full sharpening sessions. A knife sharpener, by contrast, removes material to create a new edge when the blade has become genuinely dull.

Will this work on all types of steel?

Yes. The Ceramic Honing Rod is effective on all common kitchen and outdoor knife steels, including high-carbon stainless and harder premium steels. The fine ceramic surface is gentle enough for delicate blades while still effective on tougher alloys.

Can this be used in the field (camping, hunting)?

Yes. While designed for kitchen use, the durable construction, slim profile, and no-setup design make it well suited for outdoor use too. The 9" ceramic surface and built-in 20° guides make it easy to maintain your edge at camp, by the grill, or wherever a quick hone is needed.

Which grit is the fine ceramic on the ceramic rod?

The ceramic rod is not rated in the same way as diamond plates, but according to Work Sharp's engineers it is approximately 1200 grit.

What angle on the ceramic rod?

The built-in guides hone at 20°.

What is the width of the rod?

The rod is 1/2" wide and 9" long.

How do I clean it?

Wipe with a damp cloth. The rod may turn grey with regular use — this is normal and doesn't affect performance. You can also use an eraser to remove any built-up residue from the surface.
