Victorinox Classic 8-inch Medium-Fine Honing Rod

The Victorinox Classic 8-inch honing rod has a chrome-plated, medium-fine surface for regular maintenance and edge refinement at home. It realigns the edge between sharpenings without removing much metal, and Victorinox rates it for hard blades, which covers most Western and many Japanese kitchen knives.

The 8-inch length suits paring, utility and chef’s knives up to about 6 inches, and the compact size fits a kitchen drawer or a block slot. The synthetic handle is comfortable for a short session before cooking.

Hold the rod with the tip on a towel and draw each side of the knife down it a few times with light pressure.

A few light strokes before each meal keep a home knife cutting cleanly for months between sharpenings. Store it in a drawer organizer or a block slot.

For an 8-inch chef’s knife, step up to the Victorinox 10-inch Regular Cut Honing Steel. Our Honing Rod Guide explains each cut.

    Victorinox Honing and Sharpening Steels

    Regular and fine cuts realign an edge during daily work; polishing steels burnish a fine edge; diamond and helical steels remove metal and are for setting or restoring an edge. Choose a steel about 2 inches longer than your longest knife. Our Honing Rod Guide explains each cut, and our Kitchen Knife Shapes guide covers the knives they maintain.

    How to Hone

    Hold the steel upright with the tip on a towel or board. Set the heel of the knife against the top of the rod at roughly 15 to 25 degrees and draw the blade down and toward you so the whole edge passes along the rod. Alternate sides for a few light strokes each; pressure does not help.


    Care

    • Wipe the rod clean after use and dry it before storing.
    • Hang it by its ring or store it in a block slot so the surface does not knock against other tools.
