{"product_id":"sharpening-rod-pin-series-x02o-mdb","title":"Sharpening Rod - Pin Series (X02O)","description":"\u003cp\u003eYour Pin Series knives aren't dull. They're crooked. After a week of regular cutting, the microscopic edge folds over and the blade starts pushing through food instead of slicing it clean. This diamond-coated honing rod realigns that edge in two minutes, without grinding away steel the way a whetstone does. Run it before dinner, not after the damage is done.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHoning, Not Sharpening\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere's a difference worth knowing. Sharpening grinds away steel to form a new edge. Honing straightens the edge you already have. The fine diamond surface catches the folded-over edge and pushes it back into line with a few strokes per side. Do it every few days and the blade \u003cem\u003estays\u003c\/em\u003e sharp between stone sessions, rather than slowly degrading until it won't bite through a tomato skin. Works on all knives in the Pin Series, and on any other kitchen knife in a similar hardness bracket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Diamond-coated high carbon steel rod, chrome plated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c!-- missing: rod length (inches\/mm) -- confirm from PO line or product dimensions --\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Natural olive wood with stainless steel rivets\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUse:\u003c\/strong\u003e Quick edge realignment between whetstone sessions on the Pin Series and any 60+ HRC kitchen knife.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pin Series (X02O)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e X02O-MDB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n","brand":"Xinzuo Australia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44212348944435,"sku":"X02O-MDB","price":62.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0668\/0441\/6563\/files\/3_8937c0d0-9f5c-4e98-ba16-29029e21b5c6.jpg?v=1776488395","url":"https:\/\/xinzuo.com.au\/products\/sharpening-rod-pin-series-x02o-mdb","provider":"Xinzuo Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
