Review on Enhance Your Chef Skills with the Noble Home & Chef Professional 11.5 Inch Ceramic Honing Rod featuring 2 Grit Options, Firm-Grip Handle, Hanging Ring, and High-Quality Japanese Ceramic. Perfect for Chefs! (Black, 2000/3000 Grit) by Russell Rabbach

Bought in addition to the new cooking utensils set. Arrived quickly in a nice presentation. Three things to look out for: 1. The handle is made of durable black plastic and has a comfortable shape, but you won't hold it for long. The best grinding technique is done with the shank down and the handle held with your fingers. 2. Durable brown ceramic with two abrasive grains with different feel. Each grain has two partitions that are 180 degrees apart (east/west and north/south for angular). 3. The hanging ring is firmly attached to the handle. This is useful when you need the hook to keep it from falling. Works very well when picking up the technique. Remember, this is for SHARPENING, NOT SHARPENING. Use this after using your cutting board to keep the edge straight and razor sharp.
