A honing rod doesn't remove steel; it realigns the edge that's folded over from ordinary use. Five or six passes before a prep session and your Ji Series knife cuts the way it did the week you bought it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMaintain the Edge You Already Have\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c!-- missing: rod material (diamond-coated steel or ceramic rod; confirm from PO line or xinzuocn.com) --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour Damascus blade's edge doesn't go dull so much as it goes sideways. Microscopic bends accumulate with every session on the board, and that's what makes the knife push food instead of slicing through it. Running the rod along the edge a few times straightens it back without thinning the steel the way a stone does. Do it regularly and your stone sessions become a quarterly event instead of a weekly one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003c!-- missing: rod material -- confirm from PO line or supplier invoice --\u003e\n  \u003c!-- missing: rod length (mm or inches) -- confirm from PO line or product dimensions --\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUse:\u003c\/strong\u003e Honing and edge realignment for Ji Series knives between whetstone sharpening sessions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ji Series (X08)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e X08-MDB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n","brand":"Xinzuo Australia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44212349468723,"sku":"X08-MDB","price":92.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0668\/0441\/6563\/files\/sharpening-rod-ji-series-x08-8350946.jpg?v=1776590897","url":"https:\/\/xinzuo.com.au\/products\/sharpening-rod-ji-series-x08-mdb","provider":"Xinzuo Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
