Green Elephant Ceramic Sharpening Rod, Lightweight & Highly Durable 11-Inch Shatterproof Ceramic Honing Rod For Professional Chefs and Home Cooks

Excellent knife hone, a bit more aggresive than steel one but really nice to use and rubber tip protector is good feature, for good kitchen knives keeps it very sharp.

I'm a knife smith and a professional sharpener. This works surprisingly well for touching up an edge. Much better than a carbide steel rod.

I use these for the few recurve blades I have. They work aggressively but don't scratch too deep. I still recommend following behind with a strop or even a wooden dowel to strop off the burr. Good for fillets, chefs, any larger knives with a fine edge.

I use this for maintaining the edges on my laminated Chinese cleaver,RusselGreen River Worksl nakiri, and other really hard knives (Shun) when steeling alone will not suffice. Note that this DOES remove a very minor amount of metal over time (but not as much as a diamond hone).It's quicker and more convenient than breaking out the full-size sharpening stones and it's light weight is less significant since I brace it before use. It does clean up (mostly) with hot water, soap, a a mild abrasive like Comet.While I hope never to test it's durability after a drop, it seems a useful tool and good value.

Solid. Definitely a good buy, use it daily

Good quality ceramic knife sharpener. Have used it to sharpen all my knifes and does what it's suppose to do.

Works great for returning a knife to a razor sharp edge quickly
