Review: Great value, works well - I have several ceramic honing rods and they all do a great job of keeping your knives sharp. This one is more compact than others I have but I have no problem honing long chef's knives on it. It is light weight and comfortable to hold, and a great value for the price. Much better than a steel, and cleans easily with a sponge and any abrasive cleaner when metal starts to accumulate. Review: Works better than a metal rod - The Seisuke Japanese knife store in town told me that a ceramic rod works a lot better than a metal rod for Japanese knives which use harder steel. They are right. I like this one since it’s cheaper than what the knife shop has in store and the wooden handle feels good to hold. ## Features - Only hones and does not sharpen - Ceramic honing rods are a very hard material and have a much finer grit which obtains faster and better results - Produces a fine edge - Hand wash is recommended Not dishwasher safe - Made In Japan ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000N5BVN2 | | Best Sellers Rank | #100,865 in Kitchen & Dining ( See Top 100 in Kitchen & Dining ) #355 in Knife Sharpeners | | Brand | Mac Knife | | Brand Name | Mac Knife | | Color | Silver | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 380 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00854911000525 | | Grit Type | Fine | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 8.5"L x 1"W x 1"H | | Item Weight | 0.3 Pounds | | Manufacturer | IMPCU MacKnife | | Material | Ceramic | | Material Type | Ceramic | | Product Dimensions | 8.5"L x 1"W x 1"H | | UPC | 854911000525 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Mac Knife - **Color:** Silver - **Global Trade Identification Number:** 00854911000525 - **Grit Type:** Fine - **Item Weight:** 0.3 Pounds - **Manufacturer:** IMPCU MacKnife - **Material:** Ceramic - **Number of Items:** 1 - **Product Dimensions:** 8.5"L x 1"W x 1"H - **UPC:** 854911000525 ## Images ![Ceramic Honing Rod, 8-1/2-Inch, White - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/218dayPPTjL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great value, works well *by W***S on January 18, 2016* I have several ceramic honing rods and they all do a great job of keeping your knives sharp. This one is more compact than others I have but I have no problem honing long chef's knives on it. It is light weight and comfortable to hold, and a great value for the price. Much better than a steel, and cleans easily with a sponge and any abrasive cleaner when metal starts to accumulate. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works better than a metal rod *by H***E on June 24, 2024* The Seisuke Japanese knife store in town told me that a ceramic rod works a lot better than a metal rod for Japanese knives which use harder steel. They are right. I like this one since it’s cheaper than what the knife shop has in store and the wooden handle feels good to hold. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Value! *by N***G on August 25, 2011* I've been very impressed with this sharpening rod. It's a great product, but more importantly it's a great value. Before buying this product, I priced ceramic sharpening steels around the Toronto area [where I live] and came away appalled at how much places were charging. They commonly ranged in price from $50-150, and none were much different than this one. I recently compared this rod to a $150 Global ceramic sharpening rod, and couldn't find much difference in the ceramic surface. The difference was that the Global rod featured their signature metal handle, and a giant rubber guard at the top of the handle. The finger guard on the Mac rod is quite trim, but I have yet to really see any need for a giant rubber guard. If you are really so concerned about cutting down into the handle and catching your fingers, you don't need a $150 rod, you need to change your technique. ## Frequently Bought Together - Mac Knife Ceramic Honing Rod, 8-1/2-Inch, White - MAC Knife Professional series 8" Chef's knife w/dimples MTH-80 - MAC Knife Professional series 6.5" Santoku with dimples MSK-65, made in Japan --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/1574377-ceramic-honing-rod-8-1-2-inch-white](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/1574377-ceramic-honing-rod-8-1-2-inch-white) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
