## Description

From the manufacturer For sharp knives Sharpening steel with ceramic dust The knife that never dulls has yet to be invented. Until then, ZWILLING has found a solution with its ceramic sharpening steel. The rough surface removes material and is therefore not only suitable for straightening an uneven edge, but also for sharpening blades of all hardnesses. In contrast to fine-grinding sharpening steels, a lot of pressure must be exerted during sharpening. The ergonomic plastic handle ensures safe and stable working, even if you are not a professional knife sharpener. Regular use of the ceramic sharpening steel ensures that your knives are always sharp, ensuring long-lasting, clean and safe peeling, cutting and slicing. Best quality with stylish design ZWILLING has stood for high-quality products in the kitchen and beyond since 1731. Through our traditional values, creative visions and innovative techniques, we offer you a diverse range of products that are characterised by highest quality, functionality and a stylish, timeless design. Advantages at a glance Sharpening rod with ceramic coating Suitable for grinding all knives with smooth blade Ergonomically shaped plastic handle with practical suspension eyelet Easy handling Why do knives have to be sharpened? How to sharpen the knife correctly Place the knife sharpener on a flat surface with the tip pointing down. If you are already a skilled knife sharpener, you can also hold it freely in front of your body. Now place the knife blade with the end towards the handle at an angle of approx. 15° to the sharpening rod. When sharpening, pull the blade downwards with strong pressure, maintaining the angle so that the entire blade length from handle to tip is sharpened. Repeat the process 5 to 10 times on both sides. Test the sharpness on a tomato: If the tomato can be cut easily and cleanly anywhere on the blade, the job is done. The right equipment: Knives from ZWILLING Of course the sharpening rod grinds every steel knife, including the unparalleled, high-quality knives from ZWILLING, whose product range extends from larding knives to filleting knives to cooking knives. In order to meet its own high demands, each product goes through a rigorous process from the selection and processing of the steel to the treatment used to achieve the desired hardness. In this way, ZWILLING offers the right knife for every occasion. Tips for long-lasting sharpness Even a good knife should always be cared for to ensure sharpness. Therefore it is important to only use flexible cutting boards such as bamboo and plastic. A sharpening rod sharpens blunt blades. In addition, even when not in use, the blades should not come into unnecessary contact with other objects or materials that could damage them. The magnetic or self-sharpening knife blocks from ZWILLING ensure safe storage for your high-quality knives. Application The right equipment

Review: impressively consistent fine diamond grit results in a very effective sharpener. - This German made diamond steel has an impressively dense and consistent fine diamond grit that results in a clean and gradual removal of blade material. Some diamond steels are simply too aggressive but this is nicely judged. The diamonds only leave light scoring on the blade which can easily be polish out on a strop for an excellent durable edge. The steel is a very comfortable length for larger blades and the profile makes it deal for sharpening curved knives like vegetable peelers. The diamonds are electroplated onto the metal, so it's best not to wash it in dishwasher; just wipe down after use. Very good value from desertcart resale, so it has to be five stars.
Review: Great quality - I like the quality and easy to use with any kind of knife I've tried so far. I'm using it with Japanese and Solingen knives and it does sharpen them really fast. The design is great andbgrip is good.

**Q: Could anybody tell me how long this is? Thanks**
A: I just measured my 15 year old ceramic rod and found the rod is 23 cm long, 1.3 cm in diameter. 
The length is same as the steel sharpening steel but bigger in diameter, so I had to enlarge the hole in the knife block to suit the ceramic rod.
The product dimension quotes 22 x 0.5 x 0.5 cm is not correct.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Just perfect for my damascus chef knife
*by N***K on 8 April 2022*

Just perfect for my damascus chef knife, but for the rest of knifes (not damascus ones) I prefer the iron version. I am saying here "value of money" 5* but this is because I bought on discount for around 20 quit. I feel ZWILLING does notthing to the item as very similar item may be seen with other brands :D Personally I prefer this one little bit more that the sharpal one ( the white ceramic ) and the price is different. The iron ZWILLING version is very good for not damascus knifes, but I will try to review it separetley. Finally if you want to find the best tool that suits you, you may end up with bunch of different brands in the hand, overall those under 50 quit honing steels are mainly for home. But doing honing with any tool is must if you want to save the edge of your knifes. So do not afraid to buy one does not matter from the brand or quality.
