{"product_id":"xinzuo-uliassi-sharpening-rod","title":"Sharpening Rod - Uliassi Series (X03)","description":"\u003cp\u003eReach for this between sessions, not just when something feels dull. A honing rod doesn't sharpen a blade - it realigns the edge that's folded over from ordinary use. Five or six passes before a prep session and your knife cuts the way it did the week you bought it. This one matches the Uliassi Series in handle material and finish, so it lives on the block without looking out of place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDiamond Particles, Not Just Steel\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rod is 430 stainless steel coated with diamond particles, which means it can both realign a rolled edge and lightly refine it on the same pass. It works on any of the X03 series knives, including the powder steel core blades at 62 HRC - hardness that a plain steel honing rod can struggle to grip. Diamond abrasive bites into hard steel where a smooth rod just slides. The rosewood handle matches the rest of the Uliassi Series and the 23 cm rod length gives enough working surface for the 10-inch chef and carving knives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e 430 stainless steel with diamond particle coating\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRod Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 23 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rosewood\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUse:\u003c\/strong\u003e Realigning and lightly refining the edge on 62 HRC powder steel blades between sharpening sessions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries:\u003c\/strong\u003e Uliassi Series (X03)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e X03-MDB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n","brand":"Xinzuo Australia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44137522561075,"sku":"X03-MDB","price":199.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0668\/0441\/6563\/files\/2_3517e961-2d84-479f-bb59-86876c07c39f.jpg?v=1776650521","url":"https:\/\/xinzuo.com.au\/products\/xinzuo-uliassi-sharpening-rod","provider":"Xinzuo Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
