## Description

This 4-1/2" Arkansas Ceramic Rod Knife sharpener is perfect for those knife uses on the go. Fits in a pocket or backpack easily. Comes as a rod only. Does not include handle.

Review: Great product. - Why did you pick this product vs others?: It worked very well sharpening a karambit knife.
Review: Pocket friendly - I purchased the ceramic rod with the intent to carry wherever I went. The rod is a good grit helping maintain an edge on my pocket knives while away from my home. The ends of the rod are not sharp or uncomfortable to hold unto. I also find the length to make it easy to use yet compact enough to throw in a pocket. I feel that the value was fair to the price as well. I will be purchasing another to keep in my vehicle.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: medium?fine?super fine?**
A: I would classify this as Super Fine

**Q: What is the diameter?**
A: 3/8 in.

**Q: why does this seller accept your brand new return only to keep your money too and send back a single cent so it appears without checking to be fine?**
A: Idk capitalism?

**Q: Do I soak the stone before use?**
A: Can Arkansas Stones be used with water instead of oil?
While they can, we recommend using honing oil. The main difference between the two is that when oil is used, some of it remains in the stone after a sharpening session, so the stone is always at least partially charged with oil the next time it is needed. A stone soaked in water can dry out between uses however, meaning that a generous amount of water needs to be applied to the stone with each use.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product.
*by B***E on June 28, 2025*

Why did you pick this product vs others?: It worked very well sharpening a karambit knife.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pocket friendly
*by N***S on June 14, 2024*

I purchased the ceramic rod with the intent to carry wherever I went. The rod is a good grit helping maintain an edge on my pocket knives while away from my home. The ends of the rod are not sharp or uncomfortable to hold unto. I also find the length to make it easy to use yet compact enough to throw in a pocket.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good traveling hone for your rental unit's abused knives
*by M***A on February 9, 2025*

I bought this to keep in my travel kit, when we rent a VRBO or AirBnB. The knives in those units are ALWAYS badly treated, and need to be sharpened. I also have a carborundum stone that travels with us, but to properly sharpen a knife, you need to hone it after it's been ground. This little rod does a better job than the diamond-steel honing rod I have at home. It's a little short -- you have to hold it by the very end to make it usable. But considering how little space it takes, and the price, it's a good bargain.
