Ceramic honing rods are a great option for "do it at home" users to maintaining a crisp edge on your knives utility kitchen and outdoor pocket knives. This small size can fit in your drawers and back-pack making it ideal for traveling or at home use. For Stainless Steel and even Carbon Steel blades, this rod makes a great investment. 

Many believe that a honing rod is a sharpening tool because the outcome of using a sharpening tool and honing tool might feel similar: "look my knife cuts better". However, there are differences.

When you look at a used blade under a microscope, you will notice the edge looks like a series of tiny little sideway teeth or even like a wave. Those are known to create resistance when you cut ingredients, example; cutting through a tomato peel. Using a honing rod will realign the edge of your knife without removing material. On the other hand, the method of sharpening will remove with friction the little teeth by eliminating a part of the steel and creating a fresh surface with a sharper edge.
