The details
A closer look
The Samura ceramic honing rod helps you adjust the cutting edge of your kitchen knives and keep them sharp. It pairs a 254 mm ceramic rod with a plastic handle designed for a comfortable, safe grip. It is a useful addition to a sharpening kit, next to a whetstone.
Rod and material
It is a ceramic rod, 254 mm long. A honing rod does a different job from a whetstone. The rod polishes and adjusts the cutting edge your knife already has, so it stays sharp in everyday use. When the edge needs more than that, whetstones in various grain sizes help you restore the right angle.
Handle and size
The plastic handle was developed along ergonomic principles. It is designed to be comfortable and to give you a safe grip while you draw the knife along the rod. The honing rod measures 372 × 47 × 23 mm overall and weighs 200 g.
Best uses
- Adjusting the cutting edge of kitchen knives
- Polishing the edge so your knives stay sharp
- Touching up the edge at the factory bevel angle of 15–17°
Care and sharpening
Hold the rod by its handle and push the cutting edge of the knife against it, moving the knife smoothly from its handle end to its point. Keep the factory bevel angle of 15–17° on every stroke. Never test the sharpness of the edge with bare hands; use a piece of paper instead.
