Review on πŸ”ͺ Kota Japan 12-inch Diamond Carbon Steel Knife Sharpening Rod for Kitchen, Home, or Hunting - Perfect for Master Chefs, Hunters, and Home Gourmets by Richard Puckett

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Still couldn't reach the edge.

Although my old steel still had many files on it, it must be worn out. In this case, 2 strokes on each side of the blade made it razor sharp. I'm considering buying another one as the diamond set has a fairly limited lifespan. EDIT: I went down from 5 stars to 1 star because of durability. Diamond coating on steel. Bought on 03/08/2019. As of April 23, 2019, she is completely smooth. I've only used it for final sharpening of an 8" chef's knife, maybe 4 times a week.
