Key Features

• Carbon Steel Rod — Effective for honing and realigning blade edges; maintains sharpness between full sharpenings
• Two Handle Options — Colour wood handle for warmth and grip; 430 stainless handle for a modern, all-metal finish
• Three Sizes Available — Match rod length to the knives you use most frequently
• 0.8 cm Diameter — Standard honing rod diameter; compatible with most household kitchen knives
• Lightweight — Approx. 250g; easy to handle and store in a knife block or drawer

How to Use

Hold the rod vertically with the tip resting on a cutting board. Draw the knife blade down the rod from heel to tip at a consistent angle (typically 15–20°), alternating sides. Four to six passes per side is sufficient for regular maintenance honing.

Ideal For

Daily honing of chef’s knives, carving knives, and general kitchen blades. Best used regularly to maintain an edge rather than restore a severely dulled blade — for heavy restoration, pair with a pull-through or whetstone sharpener.
