Review: Looks elegant, beautiful presentation, superb design - I've been collecting and professionally writing about knives and sharpeners for many years. My first impression of this ceramic sharpening rod was it's looks. It comes in a beautiful black box and is very long, looks expensive. This would make a great gift! Also I see many people complaining about their white ceramic rods getting grey streaks.... That is the steel from your knife being imbedded in the ceramic, it's normal part of removing since steel from your edge. A ceramic sharpening rod is different from a steel honing rod. A steel honing rod just re-aligns the cert edge of your blade so that the edge no longer has slight deviations in it, the steel rod another the edge so that instead of looking like this with microscopic misalignments --_----__-- your edge is straight and aligned like this ---------- so it cuts better. A ceramic sharpening rod not only aligns the edge but also removes a little bit of steel to sharpen AND align the knife edge. What many people will like about this BLACK CERAMIC rod is that it does not show any grey streaks like the white ceramics do. I love the ceramic so far. There are grooves on each "side" of the cylindrical rod. I have personally found that these types of grooves leave microscopic serrations on the edge, which greatly improved slicing cuts. There are two types of cutting to consider when choosing your edge:. A pretty smooth edge like a razor is good for push-cutting, like chopping vegetables straight through. A slightly serrated edge is best to "bite" into the material as you slice with the edge instead of just push. I prefer to hone my edge with the smooth part of the rod to align the edge of my knife until it shaves hair with a push-cut, then finish up with with a few strops on the ridged grooves of the rod to put some micro-serrations on the edge. The handle is very comfortable and ergonomic. The plastic has a tiny bit of seams on it from the injection mold, which is the only thing about this tool that looks a little cheap. But it feels and works great! The rod is very long. And again, being all black, looks elegant. I think this would be a great gift! For the price, this looks far more expensive than it is. It's a great bargain! Made in Japan and Taiwan. These are my first impressions. I will write more if I encounter any issues.
Review: Maintain your sharpness - Fantastic ceramic hone - 3000 grit - This is a fantastic 2000/3000 grit ceramic hone and I couldn't be more satisfied. I've been looking for a replacement for my Wusthof grooved steel hone which is too aggressive and does not maintain my extremely sharp edges on my Wusthof knifes. Ideally, very fine sharp knife edges need to be maintained with honing before each use or when you notice a loss of sharpness. A hone doesn't really sharpen knives, they maintain sharpness by straightening the edge and/or by putting on (sharpening) a tiny micro bevel. I would recommend the white hone if you need a hone that will be more aggressive in its ability to do minor sharpening. Get the black hone if you want to maintain your freshly sharpened knives at a very high level. I recently started learning how to sharpening my own knives at a very high level. A have a Sharp PT50B tester to measure sharpness. Scores in the 50-100 range are extremely sharp (scary sharp), Scores 100-200 are a pleasure to use and scores in the 200-300 are typical of new high end knives. My knives consistently measure in the 50-100 range after sharpening which are scary sharp. However, after several uses, especially with a cutting board, they will often measure in the 200-250 range. Still very sharp, but not a pleasure to use as compared to the initial sharpening. After using this hone (20-30 strokes per side) I'm back to getting sharpness scores in the 140-160 range. If the knife has been really worked over, then I will do 5 to 20 strokes with the "coarse/grooved" part of the hone to more aggressively recreate the micro bevel. I'm very satisfied with this purchase. I now have a way to maintain/restore the sharpness on my knives between sharpening. Exactly what I was looking for.

- CHOOSE FROM 2 GRIT OPTIONS: This knife hone offers 2 different grit options in 1 honer! Choose to sharpen your knife using 2 more aggressive sides of lined/stropped 2000 grit for particularly dull knives, polish the edge up using 2 sides of finer smooth 3000 grit, or use both for progressive knife sharpening.
- SAFER DESIGN AND MATERIALS: No plastic or rubber tips at the end of the ceramic sharpener keeps your knife from being damaged or chipped by accident while honing. Our Japanese ceramic is odorless, non-toxic, never rusts, and is designed not to breed bacteria. A ceramic sharpener you can trust!
- HANGING LOOP FOR EASY ACCESS– We include a stainless steel metal hanging ring so you can access your knife rod quickly and easily in commercial kitchens!
- MAINTENANCE: Our ceramic rods are very hard, and like all ceramics, are sensitive to shocks. Please avoid dropping the knife sharpener tool or hitting it on a hard surface, as it is liable to break. If you have butter fingers, we recommend checking out our steel honing rods!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Extremely Sharp Results
*by R***L on October 18, 2022*

This honing rod is absolutely fantastic. I have another ceramic honing rod that I have used for about a year now and I can immediately tell this one is far better at obtaining a much sharper edge on all of my knives after a few uses. It's an absolute dream to use. I start on the honing rod and move to the leather strops once I'm done to obtain a truly sharp edge. I have a few couple hundred dollar knives and this is exactly what you want if you want to take your knives from being dull to being professionally sharp. I am not a spokes person nor am I someone sponsored to talk about it at all. I just really love cooking and sharp knives and this thing has made me extremely happy. I have never been happier sharpening my knives then after getting rid of my clunky terrible old ceramic honing rod and using this one instead. Ps: get the 2k-3k option. 1k-2k is good but if you want it really sharp get the black one. And you don't need both. It will just take a little bit longer to sharpen using the 2k-3k since it doesn't take off as much material but the edge will be a lot sharper.
