Review on 🔪 Kota Japan 12-inch Diamond Carbon Steel Knife Sharpening Rod for Kitchen, Home, or Hunting - Perfect for Master Chefs, Hunters, and Home Gourmets by Ronald Ingram

Good length and weight for large chef's knives. A question about the product listed it as a 1000 grit diamond, which appears to be correct. Literally 3-4 strokes on each side of the blade will restore a good sharp edge. I tried my pocket knife first to make sure I was happy with the results before attacking the kitchen with it. Be careful of the angle at which you hold the blade. nice and flat. with light pressure. Very fast and excellent results to touch up your knives when needed. Be aware that your blades may need more attention to fix the bevel angle or repair damage from accidents or mishandling.
