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

By	R. Cloud - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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

By	Ei Katsumata (San Francisco) - See all my reviews

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars MAC Knives Accessories, August 18, 2006

By	S. Halliday "Fox Manor B&B" (Kingsport, TN) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I learned of this brand of knives from a wonderful executive chef in Virginia. They are much better than all the other knives I've used. So far, it is as sharp as the first time it was used and slices everything perfectly. I am going to replace all my knives with Mac.
