Work Sharp Ceramic Honing Rod

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.
