Description:

Ceramic sharpening rods are less abrasive than some other sharpening materials, making them gentle on knife blades. This can be particularly beneficial for delicate or high-quality knives that you want to handle with care. Ideal for quick touch-ups, regular honing on a ceramic rod helps maintain the edge, extending the time between sharpening. Ceramic sharpening rods not only sharpen but also help in polishing the edge of the blade, contributing to a smoother cutting experience. The butcher steel is often confused as a sharpener but actually hones the blade. Diamond sharpeners shave away the blade, creating new teeth. The butcher steel is a maintenance tool that should be employed frequently to keep your knives in peak condition. Using your steel often is like brushing your teeth regularly, whereas sharpening is like going to the dentist, needed only once or twice a year. If you hone your blades regularly, you won't need to sharpen your knives as often. Honing should not be taken lightly, as it is key to maintaining your knives without frequent sharpening. With a blade length of ?8 inches, this Dexter Russell sharpener is essential for keeping your knives in top shape.
