5.0 out of 5 stars Much better than any grooved steel, April 29, 2008

Please don't listen to "Capt Tom". A grooved steel can give similar results if used VERY cautiously, but because all the tiny contact points put greater pressure on the knife they can actually cause microscopic serrations.

If you spent the money on a quality knife do yourself a favor and go ceramic. It might take a little longer to hone you knife, but you can rest easy knowing that you are properly realigning the edge without ruining your precious knife.

2.0 out of 5 stars poor quality control, April 1, 2008

While I love my Mac knives, I can't say the same for this ceramic rod. Mine came with two small protrusions on it just waiting to ding my edge. Luckily, there's enough clean real estate on the rod to avoid these problematic areas. However, I don't think I should have to go through the hassle of orienting the ceramic rod so carefully every time I want to run my knife down it.

For the money? You can't go wrong. I keep my knives razor sharp and own both the MAC "black ceramic" and this one, the SR85 "white ceramic". The "white ceramic" is less expensive then the black but for general use, it's great.
