Sakai Takayuki Black Ceramic Honing Rod 270mm

Sakai Takayuki Black Ceramic Honing Rod 270mmThis honing rod has a medium 2000 grit surface that polishes your edge smooth. Similar in function to a traditional European "steel" these rods are meant to "hone" or gently realign your edge. Use it daily in commercial restaurant environments or once every few weeks in home environments to maintain a fine edge. This does not replace sharpening which you should still do every couple of weeks (restaurant) or every couple of months (home). Ceramic
