## Description

Product description Enjoy your creative side in the kitchen without interruption of a dull knife A Green Elephant honing steel will help you express your inner artist in the kitchen or near the BBQ grill. Be a creative chef – chop, slice, peel and cut effortlessly and enjoy the process with knives that are always sharp. We know that sometimes it gets hectic for you parents out there preparing food for your family in the evening. The kids want attention and homework needs to be checked and you're trying to cook dinner. Don’t let dull knives ruin your good intentions and slow you down or - even worse - cause an injury! That is why we brought you the Green Elephant honing steel – so you have one less thing to worry about. Happy Cooking! 20-22.5 Degree Angle for German Type Knives Usage of a ceramic honing steel is easy and effective, but it must be done correctly for the desired results to occur. It’s important that during honing, the hone is stroked with the knife angled at the same angle that it was sharpened during the manufacturing process. It’s a safe bet your German type knife has come from the factory with 20-22,5 degree edges. ~ 15 Degree Angle for Japanese Type Knives Though every knife has its distinguishing hallmarks, in general, Japanese knives require the same honing process as their western counterparts, with the principle difference being the angle at which the blade must strike the hone. Tilts of 15 degrees produce optimal results for Japanese knives and make sure that your knife will continue cutting through fish, vegetables, and more for nights filled with food from the Land of the Rising Sun. Background: Why Do We Make These Rods? Because we are food enthusiasts who like to solve problems! After browsing through all the honing steel listings and reading countless reviews, we saw the common problem. Ceramic rods break easily when dropped. Hearing the same from food enthusiasts in forums as well as from professional sharpening services, we found a way to bring you this Ceramic Rod with a unique ability to outlive and outperform its regular counterparts. It allows us to be bold in our statements about our product’s quality. Specifics Rod material: white ceramic Ceramic length: 10.75 ” Ceramic diameter: 0,6 ” Ceramic grit rate: 1500 Hardness: 9Mohs Handle length: 5,5 ” Handle material: Polypropylene Raw materials for this ceramic sharpening steel are sourced from Japan – produced in Taiwan. Unique Shock Absorbing Technology Regular ceramic honing rods in general are very fragile and shatter when dropped. Case study: 100 Green Elephant ceramic sharpening rods were dropped from 3 feet to tile ground which lead to an amazing “survival rate” of 80%. Try not to drop the rod Do not use on ceramic blades Do not bend the ceramic rod – it might break the magic formula inside that keeps the rod from shattering when dropped.

Review: Razor maker - I’m a pretty decent freehand sharpener, I sometimes use guided systems too. This ceramic rod is my last step (sometimes I’ll leather strop too if I’m looking for mirror finish, or even more insane sharpness). Once I’ve hit the apex on a diamond or natural stone depending on the steel, this rod refines and hones edges to the point of absurdity. Works just fine on 20cv, m390, and other ridiculous steels. This is the best edge maintenance and factory edge improving tool I’ve ever owned as well, assuming I like the factory edge geometry to begin with, this is often the only tool many of my knives ever see, and they’re all scary sharp, from soft high carbon to hard super steel, neck knives to kitchen knives and machetes. If I could only have one sharpening tool, this would be it, it removes steel, not just hones it, given enough time you could sharpen any tool with just this rod. Once you get familiar with the “skating” feeling of the edge over the rod, it’s just a matter of time until you have a scary edge. I’ve also had this for years now, and it works as well as the day it was bought. If you couldn’t tell, I recommend this item.
Review: Make your knives sharper - Bought Items as a gift Knife Sets, Sharpener and Under Cabinet shelfs Green Elephant Ceramic Knife Sharpener Made stock knives sharper you can still see original grind marks on one side (vertical marks) after about 50 strokes per side (will cut paper, not so much for hair) Perfect for sharpening not too smooth made a plastic cone for the angle (will get another outside fishing use) TUO Knife Set 7 piece and steak knife's Nice looking, Very Thin, Sharp, 56 RC (soft) but easy to sharpen 5" Utility had bad tooling marks on the bottom and they couldn't replace just the one.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will the honing steel get clog and how do u unclog it?**
A: Yes, the knife blade will leave a dark streak as you draw it across the rod and "clog" it. This is the rod doing its job; removing the micro-bits of the blade that have "folded over" and caused it to become dull. The rod is easily cleaned using many methods, I prefer to use a desk-type pink pencil eraser.

**Q: Is this ceramic rod a full ceramic rod or ceramic coating on a steel?**
A: Hi, thank you for reaching out to us.
The rod is fully ceramic - guaranteed to last for years. The rod IS NOT steel rod coated with ceramic.
Thank you for the comment, wdm4443, the reason magnet will stick to it is because of its shock absorbing mechanism which is incorporated into the ceramic rod to prevent it from shattering when dropped.

Best, 
Jurgen from Green Elephant Kitchen

**Q: How to  clean?**
A: I don’t clean mine. I suppose you could give it a scrub with baking soda - the super mild abrasive might make it look nicer.

**Q: Will the ceramic honing rod fit into a 9/16" knife block slot?**
A: I would think not as 9/16” = 0.5625 decimal and the description says the rod is 0.6” decimal. Hope this helps. I just hang mine near my knives.
