Global 9.5-inch Ceramic Sharpening Rod
Global recommends ceramic or diamond rods for honing its knives rather than conventional honing steels, which can damage the thin, hard edges. The G-45 is Global’s ceramic rod, made to keep Global and other Japanese edges aligned between whetstone sharpenings.A thin edge rolls slightly to one side with use, and the knife starts to feel dull even though little steel has been lost. A few light strokes on the ceramic rod straighten the edge and remove a trace of metal, which brings back the bite. Global notes that, with regular use, a ceramic rod produces a finer edge than a diamond rod. The 24 cm length gives a chef’s knife enough room for a full stroke from heel to tip. It also works on other brands of straight-edged knives.
Ceramic or Diamond?The Global 10-inch Oval Diamond Sharpening Steel is harder than ceramic and restores an edge faster, and it will not break if dropped. Choose ceramic for routine maintenance and a finer edge. For dull knives that need full sharpening, see the Global 2-Stage Ceramic Water Sharpener. Learn More$149.95
