SS Knife Sharpening Rod with Black Handle — 25cm

A 25 cm sharpening rod for bringing an edge back between full sharpenings.

The Kitchenary Kart SS Knife Sharpening Rod with Black Handle in the 25cm size is marked on its listing photo as a 10-inch rod on a 5-inch grip. A guard at the front keeps fingers behind the rod, and a ring at the end lets it hang on a hook.

Stand the rod upright with its tip on a board, place the heel of the knife near the top at about 20 to 25 degrees, the angle drawn in the photos, and sweep the blade down and across so the whole edge meets the steel. Alternate sides for a few strokes each before chopping or carving.
