Made in Yangjiang

Your Lan Series knives are running on 14Cr14MoVNb powder steel, vacuum heat-treated to 62-64 HRC. That hardness is what gives you the edge. A sharpening rod in the same material family keeps it there between sessions, realigning the edge before it has a chance to roll. Two minutes before you cook, not a full sharpening session after.

Maintain the Edge You Paid For

Honing and sharpening are different things. Sharpening removes steel; honing realigns the microscopic edge that folds over with use. A high-quality rod does the second job fast, so your blade bites cleanly through tomato skin and doesn't push and compress. This rod is matched to the Lan Series blades and keeps the edge geometry honest between stone sessions.

LAN SERIES · B37

Hone Between Sharpenings

A honing rod is the tool you reach for most. Daily use rolls a fine edge slightly out of line, and a knife that feels dull is often just misaligned. A few light strokes down each side of the rod straightens the edge back to centre, so cuts stay clean and you sharpen far less often. Built to sit alongside the Lan Series knives, with an Olive Wood handle, copper flower rivets and the same fit and finish from Yangjiang.

WHY IT MATTERS

Honing Is Not Sharpening

Sharpening removes steel to grind a new edge. Honing removes nothing — it realigns the edge you already have. Most home cooks need to hone often and sharpen rarely. Run your knife along this rod before each prep session and you protect the factory edge between full sharpenings, getting more cutting out of every grind.

HOW TO USE

A Few Light Passes

Hold the rod tip-down on a board or stand the handle on the bench. Set the knife near the heel at roughly the same angle the blade was ground to, then draw it down and across the rod from heel to tip in one smooth motion. Use light pressure — the edge realigns, it does not grind. Three to five passes per side is plenty before each session. Rinse and dry the knife before cooking.

CARE

Hand Wash, Dry, Store

Hand wash only — not dishwasher safe. Wipe the rod clean after use and dry it fully before storing to protect the steel and the Olive Wood handle. Keep it somewhere the rod won't knock against other tools. Looked after this way it stays true for the life of your knives, and it's backed by a lifetime warranty.

FAQs

Is this a sharpening rod or a honing rod?

It is a honing rod. It realigns the cutting edge between sharpenings rather than grinding a new one. Honing keeps a sharp knife sharp; sharpening on a stone restores an edge that has actually worn.

How often should I use it?

Most cooks hone every few sessions or whenever the knife starts to feel less crisp. Three to five light passes per side is enough. Full sharpening on a whetstone is only needed every few months depending on use.

Does it sharpen a dull knife?

No. A rod cannot rebuild a worn or chipped edge — that needs a whetstone. The rod's job is to keep an already-sharp edge aligned so it performs longer between sharpenings.

What is the handle made from?

Olive Wood, fixed with copper flower rivets to match the Lan Series knives. Hand wash and dry it to protect the timber.

Will it work with my other knives?

Yes. The rod suits any kitchen knife, not just the Lan Series. Hone at roughly the angle each blade was ground to for the best result.

Where is it made and is it covered by warranty?

It is finished in Yangjiang, China, and comes packaged in a protective gift box. It is backed by a lifetime warranty.

Is it dishwasher safe?

No. Hand wash only, then dry fully before storing.
