KYOCERA 9 inch Ceramic Sharpening Rod for Metal Knives

It is important to maintain your steel knives in between uses to ensure safety while cutting. Kyocera's sharpening rods have a dual-sided surface that allows for both sharpening and honing of a blade. The advanced ceramic material used in the ultra-efficient sharpening rod is close in hardness to diamond, ensuring durability and excellent results when re-sharpening or honing metal-based knives, scissors, and cutting tools. When faced with an extremely dull metal-based knife or cutting tool, the ribbed side of the ceramic rod can be used to create a finely ribbed texture on the primary cutting edge, followed by the use of the smooth surface to hone or finish the edge.

The overall length of the sharpening rod is 13.75”, with a 9” long ceramic rod and a black handle. It is an excellent tool for sharpening and honing steel knives, scissors, and other steel blades, but it should not be used on ceramic knives. Additionally, the ceramic rod is rust-proof, lightweight, and easy to clean, making it a convenient and effective tool for maintaining the sharpness of your cutting instruments.
