I wanted a fine grade ceramic hone for my higher end kitchen knives. And I needed the hone to be as long as possible with as high a grit as possible. This does obviously take a bit of steel off the knives, so it's a good idea to have a nice honing steel as well so you can rotate and keep your knives sharp and unharmed. This hone is a great length, very fine grit, feels sturdy and works wonderfully for me. As with any ceramic hone, it certainly could shatter so you need to take care not to drop it or let it roll off the table. Also, don't be a show off (idiot) and hone fast like in the movies and shows or you'll chip it with your knife (and you won't get as nice an edge/realignment). Great price, great product. I should also mention that this hone is very thick. Much more thick than a steel hone. So your knife block might have too small a hole. Mine fit fine though. Review: Works as expected - So far so good. It does what it's supposed to do, and that is, maintain the sharp edge of a knife. Don't expect it to sharpen a dull knife. Look elsewhere for something to perform that task. This is a fine grit honing rod, and indeed a good one. It's to be used between sharpenings. Cleaning it with comet, or soft scrub gets it clean and white again. No need for the recomend sponge. ## Features - From the legendary Idahone -- Trusted and used by professional and home chefs - Made of high alumina ceramic with a grit rating approximately 1200-1500 - Near diamond hardness yields a remarkable cutting ability for a perfect honing result - Quality handles are hand crafted from hard rock maple and come with a hanging ring - Sourced and produced in the USA ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01BUNEO0M | | Brand | Idahone | | Brand Name | Idahone | | Color | Natural | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 174 Reviews | | Grit Type | Fine | | Item Weight | 0.21 Kilograms | | Manufacturer Part Number | COMINHKG127996 | | Material | Ceramic | | Material Type | Ceramic | | Model Number | SYNCHKG127996 | | Number of Items | 1 | | UPC | 722512381001 | ## Product Details - **Material:** Ceramic - **Brand:** Idahone - **Color:** Natural Handle - **Item Weight:** 0.21 Kilograms - **Grit Type:** Fine - **Number of Items:** 1 - **Manufacturer:** Idahone - **UPC:** 722512381001 ## Images ![Idahone Fine Ceramic Sharpening Rod (12", Natural Handle) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/01RmK+J4pJL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great hone, great price. *by A***R on January 5, 2018* Great hone.
