Honing Steel Knife Sharpening Rod 12 inches, Carbon Steel Knife Sharpener

Perfect for sharpening, so easy to use

One sharp tool. Lol. Definitely a great addition to my kitchen. Works well and keeps my knives sharp

Fantastic tool

It's big works great

It's a standard carbon steel honing rod. It cleans up the edge nicely after you sharpen a knife and if you use it every now and then, just a couple swipes even, you won't need to resharpen nearly as often. I keep it in the kitchen and do my knives once each side after washing and they cut everything like butter without an expensive sharpening set-up. I imagine the texture, which is what does the honing, will wear out quicker than a more expensive one, but in my experience these last a really long time regardless so I'm not overly concerned. First one I ordered came with a damaged handle, but getting it replaced was a breeze and cost me nothing but $1 for a padded shipping envelope at UPS. I got the damaged one Monday, shipped it back Wednesday, and had the new one Saturday.

The biggest problem with these are you cannot get them wet. I see a lot of people complain that these rust very quickly, and they do if you get them wet with water. I always have my knives clean before I hone them, so there's really no need for me to ever wash this. Even if I need to, I would just take a sanitizer wipe and then a dry towel to make sure that it's completely dry. If you do that, it'll last for a while. My boss used to be able to get these for free at work before the company decided to go with a different and crappy option. I was so happy when I found this. It's absolutely perfect to hone your knives real quick before you need to cut anything. If this is rusting after just a couple months of use, you're doing something wrong. I definitely buy this again and probably will for my crew.

Sturdy and great quality! Worked great for sharpening knives

Sharpening quality poor, however it works well for fine finishing I should have ordered course

Once you get used to it, it works just fine.

ナイフの方が硬い材質だったので研ぎ棒の方が削れました。
