Customer Reviews

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.
