HONE AND SHARPEN: Our rods have a slightly abrasive 1000 grit rating for realigning the knife edge; sweep your chosen blade along the rod to hone the edge and reduce the need for frequent sharpening
RECTANGULAR BLADE GUARD: The broad nylon handle allows for a comfortable grip, while the rectangular guard is strengthened with zinc alloy for protection against accidental cuts during sharpening.
WHITE CERAMIC: Only diamonds are harder than the Shenzhen white ceramic knife sharpeners; the ceramic alumina is rust resistant, stronger than traditional steel, and has an HRC hardness rating of 68
HAND WASH ONLY: Remove gray streaks and buildup by hand washing the sharpening rod with mild dish soap and a sponge; the ceramic is breakable, so be careful not to drop the sharpener onto the floor
PROFESSIONAL USE: The 12-inch sharpener is long enough for professional use; easily hone and straighten any stainless steel knife in your kitchen including chef knives, cooking and carving knives, and hunting knives (does not sharpen serrated blades)
