Kikuichi 10.5" Ceramic Honing Rod
Ultra-fine ceramic rod for daily use - maintain your edge without wearing down your knives. The Kikuichi 10.5-inch Ceramic Honing Rod is designed specifically for maintaining high-carbon and high-hardness Japanese knives. At 8000 grit, this rod behaves very differently from typical ceramic or steel honing rods. While it does remove material, it does so in extremely small amounts - effectively burnishing and refining the edge rather than aggressively grinding it. The result is a rod you can use every day without concern, keeping your knives aligned, polished, and performing at their best. Learn More$99.95
