A 6" honing rod for the Supreme Series. The high-carbon steel rod is hard chrome plated and runs 12mm in diameter, enough length and rigidity to true a chef's or santoku edge in a few passes. A red wood handle with stainless steel rivets gives you a stable, balanced grip. This hones, it does not sharpen: it realigns a rolled edge between sharpenings so your knife keeps biting for longer.

FAQs
No. This is a honing rod, it realigns the existing edge between sharpenings rather than grinding new steel. It keeps a sharp knife sharp; it will not restore a genuinely blunt or chipped edge. For that you still need a stone or sharpener.
A few light strokes per side before or after each cooking session is ideal. Frequent honing keeps the edge true and means you need to sharpen on a stone far less often.
A high-carbon steel rod with hard chrome plating, 12mm in diameter, paired with a red wood handle and stainless steel rivets. The plating keeps the surface smooth and corrosion-resistant.
Match the angle you sharpen your knife at and keep it consistent down the whole stroke. Consistency matters more than a precise number, too steep or too shallow and the rod misses the edge.
Yes. It suits any steel kitchen knife, chef's, santoku, nakiri and more, not just the Supreme range. Use light pressure on thinner Japanese-style edges.
No. Hand wash only, then dry fully. The dishwasher will damage the red wood handle and is unnecessary for a quick wipe-down.
The rod is 6". That covers most chef's and santoku blades comfortably in a single heel-to-tip stroke. Very long blades simply take a touch more care to pass the full edge.
