Seki Japan Chef Knife Sharpening Rod, 6 Inch, Durable Ceramic Honing Steel Knife Sharpener (150mm)

Excelente producto

This is a really great little ceramic "Steele".I bought it to replace the one in my knife roll that's too big, unfortunately this one is just a little bit too small. If it's for occasional use or you have space issues this is perfect but if you're using it everyday I would like it to be a couple inches longer.That being said it's exactly as it was described.

The sharpening portion of this rod is good. It does what it should and it works with my blades. It's a little more porous than some ceramic rods (meaning like a more coarse grit sandpaper would be) than some of the smooth rods I own, but it's a nice addition to my arsenal when it comes to maintaining an edge.That said, the handle is pretty rough. Mine had flashing and molding marks that dug into my hand, sharp edges and the handle is, in general, too small for my medium-to-large size hands. If you have big mitts, this thing will not be for you... fortunately, mine are not oversized. I took some sandpaper to the handle (which reminds me of the old Bakelite material) to smooth it down. It's slick and edgy, but this helped with the sharp edges.It does not strike me as a high-quality manufactured device. The rod portion is great, but the handle is the cheapest of the cheap.

I highly recommend this ceramic sharpener. Easy to use, I've brought life back to scissors, PVC cutters, kitchen knives, and camping knives. Use a leather strop after and the knives will be shave sharp.If your blade is too far gone use a stone or diamond sharpener to repair, then use the ceramic rod and you're set. This is now my favorite way to sharpen

Honing rod came loose front handle after 2 days at the butcher shop.

I already have one and needed another one because it wears out which I expected. I have been using this type of knife sharpener for years and I love it.

A few strokes on this rod brings the edges back to where I need them to be. I have an affinity for Japanese products, especially tools and kitchen gear, because they are manufactured well and do what they are supposed to do. This is no exception.

Handle fell off. Kinda cheap. Kinda small. It's OK.
