Our honing rod is made of sintered black ceramic. This material measures 8 on the Mohs hardness scale, just 2 points less than diamond. It’s way harder than any steel knife and so can easily straighten tiny bits of your knife edge that get bent over.
The surface of the rod is slightly abrasive, equivalent to a 2000 grit Japanese whetstone. This means it sharpens (removes steel) as well as honing (straightening). It’s not coarse like a diamond steel, so you can use it regularly without wearing away your blade.
The patented 3-part shock absorber system absorbs 70% of the shock should the rod be dropped on the floor, reducing the risk of breakage. The tip protects the ceramic from hitting the floor and shock is dispersed along the rod’s length.
