🔪 12-Inch/30cm Cooks Standard Professional Ceramic Rod Knife Sharpening Steel Review

Bought a Wüsthof chef's knife for 40 years and used it all the time. I have this grinder to keep it sharp and it does a great job. After 9 months of use the knife is still razor sharp and I ONLY use this knife for home cooking 6-10 times a week, sharpening it after each meal. I've had to wash the sharpener probably 3 times in those months - with soap and a Brillo pad and it looks great; eraser and it looks like new. Flushing returns the abrasive properties to sharpening. I've never had another…

I'm IMPOSSIBLE at sharpening knives. I have used stones, slingshots, diamonds and ceramics. Every time I tried to sharpen a dull knife, it always felt duller than when I first started. That's the cure for idiots like me. As counterintuitive as it may seem, follow the instructions (however poorly translated they may be). With practice, blades can be intimidatingly sharp, especially fixed blades like the mora. This is not the sharpener you would use to sharpen a knife you used to remove concrete…

Yes, I said that. I've been using line knives for years, and once you get the hang of it (lower 15 degrees either side) you'll be able to keep the blade sharper than Dave Letterman's humor. Be aware that if you drop one of these on concrete, it will break into two or more pieces. If you drop it on a nice new tile floor, it can break into two or more pieces. It will most likely remove a chunk of your soil as well. post here? Don't drop it. If you do, don't give IM 2 stars for YOUR beginner move.

I use DMT diamond stones (up to 1000 grit) to sharpen my knives and have been sharpening my blades with a Wüstof sharpener for many years, between infrequent re-sharpening with stones, about every two months, depending on the load. On a whim I bought a Cooks Standard ceramic knife sharpening/honing rod based on my experience with Cooks Standard's high quality 3-ply pots and reviews. The ceramic stick exceeded my expectations! I never knew what was missing when using a Wustof sharpening stone…

This tool combines the best of both worlds: honing "steel" for routine edge alignment and abrasives for actually removing material, making it a real one Finish sharpening edges (do not use a new or super-blunt knife for initial edge finishing - use a coarse whetstone or diamond-tipped plate for this). The abrasives are thin ceramics and remove very little metal (evidence of this is the gray streaks left on the white ceramic rod after sharpening (which btw can be wiped off with a damp sponge and

I have many knives (more than 100 in total) from my kitchen, made in Finland, ice-hardened for many hunting and survival brands (Buck with 420 HC, 154 cm and S30 V - Spyderco with H-1, VG-10 and S30V plus Puma Gold range in 1.14116 tool steel, 440C and Ka-Bar 1095HC, D2 - much more than I would pay for you reading these reviews and this as give example I used this VERY fine (well built and high quality) sharpening stone, I first check that the edge of the blade I'm working on is "sharp", not…

If you have knives of any kind and want to touch up their edges yourself easily and quickly, a ceramic stick like this is probably the best solution I've found to quickly refresh the blade. I've used many supposedly quick and easy sharpening solutions. Some work well but often remove too much of the blade. Others not so much. I already had a few small ceramic sharpeners, but I wanted something that would handle large blades better than those found in pocket files. It fits the bill well and has…
