12-Inch Knife Sharpening Rod, Fine Carbon Honing Steel, Black Handle | Nickel-chrome Plated, Magnetized Rod Realigns Knife Edges, Non-slip Grip and Hanging Loop, Wipe Dry

Very good product love the handle grip and how quick it sharpens knife.

This knife sharpener is easy to use and does an excellent job of sharpening.

This equals honing rods that I've spent double on in the past. I bought this as part of a gift for a friend and got to use it a few times, it's perfect. Great length, nice and sturdy, and will likely last a lifetime. It doesn't feel as cheap as I imagined it might when I purchased it. I showed my friend how to use it and he is enjoying it. For those who might not be aware - this is not a sharpener, so it will not actually sharpen your knife, which is a big misconception because honing rods like this often advertise as "sharpeners". Yes it will realign your blade and make it perform better, but it's not actually sharpening it. When you use a knife the very edge of your blade will fold over and make it feel dull, this tool really just realigns the folded edge, it doesn't really make it sharper. That being said, if you use this after every time you use your knives then they will stay sharper for much longer because if you continue to use a knife with a folded edge then you'll develop warps and chips, which will actually dull your knife faster. My rule of thumb is to use this tool after every single time I use my knives, I do between 4-8 passings on each side and my knives stay sharp for much longer than if I didn't hone them regularly. I would look up videos on how to use this tool properly, it's easy to use but if you do misuse it then you will end up damaging your blade rather than honing - though don't be too afraid of using it, even if you damage your knife then it very likely can be fixed. I've fixed some seriously rusted out dull knives that most people would throw away.

Excellent product. Fast shipping and great price. It’s larger than I expected. It’s also heavier than I expected. This is the type of sharpener that a professional chef would use in my opinion. I’ve already sharpened my kitchen knives and I’m very impressed with how sharp they are now. Highly recommend

Good quality and feels hefty. I’ve used it on all of my knives I can feel it has a good rub to it, and it didn’t take much effort to bring the knives where I wanted them to be.

This is a very helpful tool 2 refresh the sharpness of non serrated knives.

After a month it's already pretty stripped. You get what you pay for.

Works perfectly

Great product. Love the length and the thickness.

This is great. A really old school way of sharpening blades but you don’t need anything else.

Wonderful

Simply amazing sharpener. I grew up with one very similar but I was skeptical about this based on the price. Easy to handle and effortless to use.... Sharpened every darn knife I own!!! If your talented you can even sharpen serrated blades and bread knives.

Does exactly as expected I have used on my knives nice and sharp now same size as those in butchers shops
