10 Inch Honing Steel Professional Knife Sharpening Steel Sharpening Rod Diamond Carbon Steel Honing Rod for Master Chef Hunter or Home Gourmet Blade Sharpening Rod or Stick

Feature: 1. 1000 GRIT. Ideal for fine sharpening of your stainless steel, straight edge knife as it has a slight abrasive surface that realigns the edge. Ideal for chef knives, cooking and carving knives, and hunting knives (does not sharpen serrated blades) 2. Honing Rods on the other hand realign the knife edge, removing the dullness from your blade without removing too much of the blade itself. This is the process we should be doing regularly! When using our knives, we inadvertently create microscopic folds, which can give the effect of a dull blade. This constant misalignment of our knife edge is not in need of sharpening; it’s in need of honing! Easy to confuse, since honing your knife will absolutely make it seem sharper. Many chefs will hone their blades before each use of their knife, if not more than once when using the knife in excess! 3. Knife Sharpeners remove metal from your knife blade to literally sharpen your blade. Because of the amount of metal removed during the sharpening process, most home cooks shouldn’t sharpen their knives more than two or three times a year! Surprising, right? But true! Most often, what we consider needing to be sharpened is truly just needing to be honed.
