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) Review

I've been in the meat industry for over 20 years and so far I've loved it. I read the reviews before buying it and I have to say I was a little confused by those concerned that the different sides were not labeled. When I received it I had to giggle a little. So my only complaint would be that I already have a few nicks on the rough side (probably due to my own mishandling), but the comb part is amazing because of the horrible dead center you get from bone, teeth, or accidental slip and impact.

Purchased in addition to the new chef cutlery 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

Not much to say here other than this ceramic rod lives up to its advertised specifications. The only (very minor) negative I can point out is that the rod has no markings on two different grit surfaces. In fact, I didn't even notice in the description until I reread it to write this review that (I'm assuming) the opposing ribbed sides are one grain and the plain sides are another. To be honest there really won't be much of a difference between the two surfaces on an already sharp (easy to…

I have been collecting and writing about knives and sharpeners professionally for many years. My first impression of this ceramic sharpener was its looks. It comes in a nice black box and is very long and looks expensive. This will be a great gift! I also see a lot of people complaining about gray streaks on their white ceramic rods.
