Cangshan Ceramic 10" Honing Steel

Keep your good knives in tip-top shape using a honing steel. A steel doesn't sharpen your knife, but it keeps the edge aligned for prolonged sharpness, and lets you put off actual sharpening, which removes metal from the blade and shortens knife life. This Cangshan ceramic honing rod is harder and more abrasive than a steel rod, and is better suited to restoring, aligning and refining the edge on modern, hard-steel knives like those from Shun. The hardwood handle provides a comfortable and secure grip, with a leather hanging loop at the end. With the proper, easy-to-learn technique maintaining a knife edge takes just seconds.
