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.

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!

Great Honing Rod This thing really works!Posted By: Matt

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.

Very good product for professional environmentPosted By: Tunca
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.

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.

I purchased this black ceramic rod based on reviews. It works excellent for its role in the kitchen and it also looks stunning. This is a terrific product though I am now progressing towards whetstones.

Useful & solid tool! Solid Purchase Good Value Big bang for the buck.. black ceramic An Excellent Honing ToolPosted By: DJFund - verified customer
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!!
