FAQs
It does both jobs. The diamond-coated surface realigns a rolled edge like a traditional honing steel, and because it is diamond-coated it also lightly refreshes the bite that a smooth steel cannot. For a fully blunt edge you still want a whetstone or a sharpener.
No. Honing realigns the existing edge between sharpenings and keeps a knife performing day to day. Over time the edge still wears and needs to be re-ground on a stone or sharpener. Think of the rod as maintenance, not a reset.
Nine inches of working rod, which comfortably covers full-length chef and slicing knives as well as smaller blades.
Yes. The diamond-coated surface works on any kitchen knife, Japanese or German style. It is not limited to the Master Series.
A few passes per side before or after a prep session is enough for most home cooks. Light, regular honing beats waiting until a knife feels dull.
No. Hand wash only, then wipe and dry. The Sycamore wood handle and the rod surface both prefer to be kept dry.
A single sharpening rod supplied in a protective gift box, which makes it easy to give as a present.
