12 Inch Professional Knife Honing Steel - Fine Lines, Wear Resistant

Professional Knife Sharpening Rod Description

The professional knife sharpening rod features a fine texture with about 7 fine lines per millimeter, ensuring a smooth honing process that quickly restores the sharpness of your blade. Using a rough sharpening stick can potentially damage the blade, so it's important to opt for a fine-textured option.

Crafted from high-carbon steel, this honing rod undergoes intense heat treatment to enhance its hardness, reaching an impressive 62-65HRC. This makes it extremely durable and long-lasting, providing a reliable sharpening tool for your knives.

With a diameter of 13mm, this sharpening rod offers increased stability during use, allowing for precise and effective sharpening. Additionally, the rod is magnetized for safety purposes, preventing metal particles from contaminating your food and increasing friction to make knife sharpening easier.

How to Use Your Honing Rod:

Method 1: - Hold the honing rod in the air and start at the heel of the knife, drawing down to the tip in a quick stroke. Repeat on the other side of the rod. Method 2: - Hold the honing rod vertically upright on a countertop and gently drag the knife edge down the ceramic in a slicing motion. Repeat on the other side.

Maintaining the correct sharpening angle is crucial, typically around 15-20 degrees for most knives. This ensures optimal sharpening results and prolongs the life of your blades.

For cleaning and care, simply wash the honing steel with tap water before first use and dry it with a cloth. After honing, clean and dry the rod thoroughly, storing it in a dry and ventilated place. Avoid cleaning it in the dishwasher.

Choose from a range of whetstones with different grits, including extra fine, fine, medium, and coarse options, to further enhance your knife sharpening experience. Add these to your cart to elevate your sharpening routine.
