Heavy duty, solid ceramic with a nice handle and hanging ring but it can be broken if you have a hooligan for a cat

June 13, 2017

Style Name: Ceramic RodVerified Purchase

Very well constructed SOLID ceramic sharpening rod with a good sized and easy to grip handle and hanging ring. I had bought a DMT diamond ceramic sharpener but it was junk - the coating peeled off with light knife strokes which was reported by dizens of others who posted 1 star reviews. I got suckered into the sales pitch that the DMT was "unbreakable" but it was turned out to be poorly made junk - more on that point in a minute.

The Cooks Standard is solid (but breakable so don't drop it). My prior ceramic lasted 25 years until my clown act cat swatted it off my island in the kitchen last month when I turned my back for 15 seconds. Lesson learned - ceramic hangs on the pot rack as soon as I'm done with it because I know my cat is an incorrigible hooligan who can be seen below working on repeating the process for destroying ceramic sharpening rods with one push.

Great go-to sharpener for fast everyday touchup to keep your blades servicably sharp.

June 15, 2018

Style Name: Ceramic RodVerified Purchase

If you have knives, any kind, and want to to easily and quickly touch up their edges yourself, a ceramic rod, such as this is probably the best solution I've found for refreshing the blade fast. I've used many supposedly quick and easy sharpening solutions. Some work well, but often remove too much of your blade. Others, not so much. I already had a couple small ceramic sharpeners, but wanted something more suited for blades bigger than those in pocket folders. This fit the bill nicely, and seems a little coarser than my other ceramic, as it removes material fast. In the week I've had it, I've sharpened half a dozen knives and several pair of scissors, including one I didn't think would ever cut fabric again. A set of Old Hickory carving knives that had been crammed into the back of our knife drawer, dull and heavily tarnished from lack of use and care. The last time they were used was probably cutting fish in the 80's. In less than 30 seconds per knife, about 10 strokes per side of each blade, and they were all ready for duty, almost as sharp as my new ESEE that hadn't been used yet and came from the factory hair popping sharp. With a little stropping, I'm sure the Old Hickory's will be too.

What this ceramic rod won't do: it won't reprofile your blade or fix chips, at least not efficiently. If you need that kind of edge repair this isn't what you're looking for. The Cooks Standard is great for refreshing your edge, return it to serviceable razor sharpness (a courser degree of razor that'll remove arm hair, but not as cleanly as a knife that's been stropped too) after a day, an hour, or even a few minutes of use, depending on what you're doing. Anywhere from one to 15 strokes per side and you should be slicing through paper again. This ceramic rod will get you a functional razors edge FAST! Top it off with a course or two of stropping afterwards for as sharp an edge you need.

Ceramic rods have long been a preferred method for sharpening recurve blades, but they work with any blade type, even serrated, if you have a small enough diameter rod to fit inside the serrations. This rod uses a larger 1/2 inch diameter ceramic steel. It's awesome for larger blade lengths especially, like the pictured ESEE, as it leaves you plenty of room to hit the entire length of the blade in one stroke, without feeling like you're rushing it to hit the entire blade edge before running out of rod. You could even use this with a machete if the need arose. Of course the longer length makes the ceramic potentially more susceptible to breaking than smaller rods, so it's not suitable for field sharpening at this size. If you're sharpening a blade longer than a pocket knife, you'll relish this size at home. It doesn't feel the least bit fragile or weakly made to me. I'll know more once my nephew visits this summer and decides to play Luke Skywalker with it when I'm not looking.

If you're new to sharpening, you can buy plastic guides to help you find your angle. But knife makers use a larger variety of bevel angles than the common degrees I've seen guides for. So if your knife doesn't fit the angle of the guide, you'll basically be changing the angle of the secondary bevel on the knife to match the angle of the guide. That might not be a big deal, depending on the blade design and intended usage, but it'll take a little longer to sharpen the first time. And once you get used to sharpening, the guides will just get kicked to the side. You won't need them anymore and likely won't want them either, so that you can take better advantage of the full length of the rod. So, if you invest extra in the guides, think of them like training wheels on a bike.

Once you finish your sharpening ,a course scotch pad and a little soap and water make fast work of cleaning all the gray streaks of metal the knife left behind. But a simple pencil eraser works great too. Again, if you don't need to repair a blade edge, a rod like this is all you'll likely need. Though, combining it with a good leather strop (strops are usually better made than bought) would be the icing...

I SUCK at sharpening knives

December 26, 2017

Style Name: Ceramic RodVerified Purchase

I SUCK at sharpening knives. I've used stones, strops, diamond this and ceramic that.....and every time I tried to sharpen a dull knife it always seemed duller than when I started. This is the cure for morons like me. As counterintuitive as it seems, follow the directions (as poorly translated as they are). With a little practice you will make blades scary sharp, especially fixed blades like Mora. This is not a sharpener you would use to sharpen a knife you removed concrete and rebar with last week, its for sharpening a knife that has gotten dull from its intended use. I seriously have no hair on my left arm from testing out my first successes at making a dull knife able to shave with.

This tool combines the best of both worlds

May 18, 2018

Style Name: Ceramic RodVerified Purchase

This tool combines the best of both worlds: honing "steel" for routine edge alignment, plus abrasives for actual material removal and therefore true final edge sharpening (don't use to do the initial edge shaping on a new or super-dull knife - use a coarse sharpening stone or diamond-coated plate for this) . The abrasives are fine ceramic and remove only a very small amount of metal (the proof is in the gray streaks that are left on the white ceramic rod after honing (which, BTW, can be scrubbed off with a wet sponge and Comet powder). I use Wedgek angle guides with this rod to provide a consistent sharpening/honing angle, and (sometimes) a compound-coated strop afterwards. Although you still need practice and skill to use these tools to their full potential, you don't have to be a "whetstone zen master". I do plan to use a whetstone perhaps once a year or so to provide a major tuneup for my really good knives, but this setup keeps them scary sharp in the meantime. I should add that the 12" long Cooks Standard Ceramic Rod is as high quality as I could ask for, and it will take many years for it to wear out (just don't drop it - ceramic rods are brittle!), so why pay much more for the same (or even inferior) product from a big name knife company?.

I love it and use it many times daily.

November 4, 2018

Style Name: Ceramic RodVerified Purchase

I got a Wusthof chef knife for my 40th and I use it all the time. I got this hone to keep it sharp and it does the job magnificently. After 9 months of use the knife is still razor sharp, and I use ONLY this knife to home-cook meals 6-10 times a week, I hit the hone after every meal. I've had to wash the hone probably 3 times in these months--soap and a brillo pad and it looks great; magic eraser and it looks new. Washing it gets the abrasive qualities back into the hone. I never had another ceramic one to compare it to, but the steel ones I've used suck. This thing is great.

Even if you have tried other sharpeners before this is pretty much the easiest way.

January 3, 2017

Style Name: Ceramic RodVerified Purchase

Wow. This is really a great product to have if you have some knives that have dulled from use. I took out a set of 3 knives that I rarely use anymore since they have dulled. A couple of swift strokes later all of them were back to a usable state. Were they razor sharp? No. Were they more than adequate for kitchen use? You betcha! I have spend some time and money trying to learn how to sharpen my knives and have failed. This ceramic rod has made it as simple as 1 2 3.
