CKTG Black Ceramic Sharpening Rod 270mm Sale

Introducing the CKTG Black Ceramic Sharpening Rod. We think this rod is superior to the Idahone fine ceramic rod that we also sell for most pro users and culinary students. The primary improvement is that the rod uses higher quality ceramic material with 8 Mohs hardness and it's also nice and straight. The usable rod measures 270mm. The overall length is approximately 400mm and the rod itself has a 16mm diameter. The handle is made from high-impact plastic that is light and durable and has a nice ring on the end for hanging if you desire. Grit level on this rod is 2K and will put a nice edge on your knives quickly and effectively.

I have just replaced my old Global ceramic rod with this CKTG ceramic rod and what a difference. My Global rod was rough and did not contribute to a nice knife edge. Your new silky smooth ceramic rod has made all my Japanese knives happy sharp. Thank you CKTG.

I have used this ceramic rod for years and it does put an amazing sharp toothy edge on your blade. Since getting this one I haven't even searched or had a need for another one and the leather cover they sale is nice and keeps it protected. Try it, you won't be disappointed

High grit workhorse

This rehoned my carbon Japanese steel back to a screaming edge. It also put an edge back on a knife I was sure would need a stone. It's not a finishing steel so I do have stones that could take a blade to a tighter finish.

Better than my coworkers Messermeister rod at a better cost. The 2k grit finish works well for softer Japanese steel knives in my experience

A must for quick touch up of hard blades

When you don't need a full sharpening yet, but the traditional metal steeling rods are softer than the blade of your knife, this is the solution.
Very handy!

So I�m like buying the second one because my girlfriend�s moms place has really bad knifes which have rubbish sharpness.. and we all know there is nothing more dangerous than a blunt knife.
So got her one as well as I loved mine so much!

Quick Micro

Received with no tip but that's ok. Still a good value and puts an exceptional micro bevel on my VG10 blades which seems to be more effective and quicker than a stone finish.

Replaced my steel rod with this one, I like it a lot more and my edges look better too. Highly recommend, especially if you have harder steel knives.

After a year of near daily use (and a little abuse) I started to notice my Tojiro DP wasn't cutting as well and there was faint differences in shimmer on the edge when looking so I decided it was time for either honing or sharpening rod... so glad I got this one! As a total beginner it took six strokes on each side and my Tojiro passed every test... paper, hair and onions cut flawlessly!

I hope I can perfect my technique over time but for anyone debating on what to get you can't go wrong here.

Got this as a lightly used secondhand. Gave it cleaning with soap, sponge and warm water. As a kitchen professional, I have Been using it on knives made of various steels. X50cr15mov, Sandvik 12c27m, shun vg max, vg5, shirogami, 1095, aus8, 4116, chromax, sg2 and zdp189. Very good on already sharp softer steels and the ceramic is fine enough for harder premium steels. Saves a lot of time and helps with postponing the process of setting up a multiple whetsone sharpening session. Highly recommend.

Use it everyday between monthly whetstone sharpenings. Leaves a little grippy type of sharpness, which I enjoy in a commercial kitchen.

This is the best ceramic honer I've used. Well worth the money. This is the first one that I could legitimately tell a difference in edge sharpness after using.

I had an edge pro ceramic rod that I somehow lost. Got this one. Seems to do a little better job and is easier to use because it is bigger and has a nice handle.

I never thought much of "sharpening rods" but man this thing puts a wicked edge back on my carbon steel Japanese knife! The leather case should come with it but was essential for me as it'll be knocking around in the knife drawer.

Better than any steel I have ever owned, hones to a beautifully sharp edge everytime, really helps preserve a razor edge from repetitive cutting.

This rod brought back the edges on some knives that have been well-maintained but not sharpened in a while. A few light strokes on each side of their blades and they came back to life. All in all, a very satisfying and useful purchase.

CKTG's ceramic honing rod enables me to effectively hone my Japanese, French and German knives. I've used it on my Kikuichi gyuto and santoko, as well as my 40 year old Sabatier carbon chefs knife and Wusthoff stainless knives. Thanks to Mark for his advice and product sourcing.

First, a general comment. Chef Knives To Go offers an outstanding level of customer service. Before making the purchase I had a lot of questions. All were answered in a prompt and helpful manner. The ceramic rod itself is great. I had never used one before. The very helpful videos on the CKTG site and the input provided in the emails got me squared away in short order. The rod is easy to use and does a great job. If this beginner can quickly get a very sharp edge on a dull blade anyone can. No hesitations in recommending CKTG or this ceramic rod!!

This honing rod is outstanding! I used it on my Tojiro and it made it razor sharp in a few passes per side. It worked equally well on my German knives too.
