Safe Honing + Sharpening Rod Description

Did you know that it's not just losing its edge that makes knives dangerously dull? Over time, blades on even the fanciest knives will begin to list to one side, which keeps the edge from cutting straight and clean. (Picture a drooping mohawk). That’s why chefs hone. A few swipes at prep time perks the blade right back up – and, yes, also sharpens that edge. (Now, about that mohawk…)

Why The Safe Honing + Sharpening Rod is Great

  • Ceramic: Better than steel because it does double duty: honing and sharpening. Plus, ceramic is gentler on your blade. 
  • Rubber, Anti-Slip Tip: You brace it on the counter or a board instead of brandishing it like a sword. It stays in place and is much safer. 
  • 360-Degree Swipe Guide: The angle is critical when sharpening, and our guide makes sure you…swipe right.
  • Ergonomic Handle: Soft, comfortable rubber, with a thumb indentation at the top which makes it even easier to grip.

What Makes This Honing Rod So Great?

The Misen Honing Rod is about 15 inches long and has a ceramic surface.

Safety First

Honing a knife can be dangerous. We made it as safe as possible. A thick rubber tip will prevent slips, and our ergonomic handle will help ensure the rod constantly stays in the right position.

Ceramic > Steel

Ceramic is better for your knife blade. Unlike steel, it’s gentle enough to not damage your blade, and it can both sharpen and hone at the same time.

We designed this to be extremely user friendly. Our 360 degree guide makes it impossible to swipe your blade at the wrong angle.

    Excellent

    I ordered this as an alternative to the traditional steel honing rod. The two surfaces of the rod are easily distinguished between and used. The result was better than expected. The 1st knife I did was my most used blade and sharpened and honed up just as well as if I used a stone in about 20 passed on each side to sharpen and 10 to hone. So I grabbed a pairing knife that I had not sharpened in some time and did the same. It is now in rotation again. The angle at the base of the handle is great to reassure that the correct contact is kept on the edge so that the result is consistent and just what is needed.

    honing rod

    I have never used one before. I have a good electric sharpener that i when my knives are dull. I was amazed at how easy and effective the rod was. In seconds you can create the best edge ever. I have seen butchers and barbers use rods and straps but thought it was a not easily learned skill. My first effort resulted in the best edge i have ever had.

    Best so far

    Having worked in a club kitchen for years, the need for sharp knife was always top of mind. Sure the club sent knives out every month, but the ever present honing rod was necessary. Never particularly cared for the metal one that came with our home knife set, so look hard at this one. One month in, and it’s perfect. Easy to use, and produces a fine edge making prep easier.

Misen Honing Rod - The Professional's Choice

If you're passionate about cooking, you know that a sharp knife is a chef's best friend. That's where the Misen Honing Rod comes in.

This distinction is crucial for maintaining your knives over time. The Misen Honing Rod is crafted with high-quality materials to ensure durability and effectiveness. Whether you're slicing, dicing, or chopping, a few quick strokes on the honing rod will keep your knives in top condition, maximizing precision and safety in the kitchen.
