Honing rods are an essential tool for maintaining a knife's fine razor edge. With use, a knife's blade curls over, effectively dulling the edge. A few gentle swipes on each side of the blade helps realign the edge, making it razor sharp again without the full effort of a proper sharpening with a whetstone. We prefer ceramic over metal, which does a better job of restoring the edge across a broad range of blade steels. Work Sharp’s rod comes with a built-in angle guide of 20 degrees (most Western knives are made to around that angle) for consistent sharpening, but the rod works for any blade. And a rubber tip secures the rod to your surface, so it won’t slip as you hone. It fits in most knife blocks, or thread a lanyard through the hole in the handle to hang it for easy access.
Yes, it will glide effortlessly through meats and slice and dice fruits and vegetables with ease. It’s also safer too, requiring less force to cut, and will never dangerously glance off a hard squash or slippery onion.

Use daily to maintain your blade’s edge between sharpenings. Wash and dry the knife after honing before use.
A sharp knife is not just one of the great joys of cooking. Yes, it will glide effortlessly through meats and slice and dice fruits and vegetables with ease. It’s also safer too, requiring less force to cut, and will never dangerously glance off a hard squash or slippery onion.
