KYOCERADual Use White Zirconia Ceramic Knife & Scissor Sharpening Rod (Steel) 23cm

At last, a steel that actually works! Even cheapy knives with very hard blades can be sharpened with the coarse section of the ceramic and a little pressure. Quality blades just need a few strokes on each side using the smoother ceramic. I tend to lay the ceramic flat on the kitchen worktop, holding the handle sticking out to steady it. A decent length ceramic at 23cm, handle grip 11.5cm. I had to enlarge the hole in my knife block for the slightly larger diameter of the ceramic compared to conventional steel. A pleasure to use.

Great steel sharpens knives really nicely and quite a good price. Just don't drop itWasn't the steels fault just a fare warning

That is my second Koycera sharpening rod, I am very happy with it, do a brilliant job. One small minus is -it breaks very easy.

My first impression is amazing. It made my kyocera ceramic life laser sharp.

dropped it. it broke. woohoo

I have a drawer with four different types of high tech knife sharpeners in it, they either don't work or take so long to set up and use that I can't be bothered. This just takes a matter of seconds to keep the edge on the knife so I use it regularly rather than waiting until the knife gets really blunt.

Rougher than I imagined. Didn't leave a very nice finish. Chipped easily on the serrated portion

Its not bad. Its does the job. My reservation is in the sharpening ridge set, I would've expected a better result (obviously not expected as good as dedicated sharpening stones...). I've some portable ceramics and they are far better as the sharpening. The honing service is give is good.
