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 It's 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.

Easy to Use

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

    The best for keeping knives sharp

    The only reason is bought a new one of these honing and sharpening rods is that I was using it outdoors while preparing a brisket to smoke and it dropped off the table and shattered. My dumb mistake. I won’t be taking the new one outside.

    Great tool!

    This is the first home I’ve seen that makes it easy to use it in the optimal vertical position by placing that non-skid tip on the end. I’ve another (much older) ceramic hone without that feature, and I do t even think about using it now. I find the unique shape of the Misen ceramic hone gets me the edge I’m looking for with much less time and effort. A must-have in any kitchen where knives are in constant use.

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.
