Arkansas Ceramic Superstick Knife Sharpener

Maybe the other reviewers should try a gentle clean with a little soap liquid and warm water and a green scrubby thing. I have just ordered a new one for a friend, I still have two which I bought years ago and used professionally and in my home kitchen. Both are excellent for the job of keeping knives very sharp. and if used before and after using the knife There will be less need to resort to a whetstone which will extend the life of the knives. This rod is not intended to remove dings and notches from knives that have been abused, that's what whetstones are for and in some cases a grind stone. Always wipe the knife witha damp cloth before and after using the rod and clean the rod after every four or five uses, it will give an amazing edge to any knife if used correctly.

HUGE, guaranteed to be bigger than expected, not that this is a bad thing, it's just really big... Can't fault the price either it's just that for me a ceramic honing rod should be really fine and this just isn't, it's quite course and has slight imperfections, this is fine for crappy kitchen knives and tools but if you want a razor edge on your pride and joy then go for something more expensive, ok for what it is and the price though.

Works very well, I don't know if it will clag up over time, we will see. Oh, it's big.

huge ,, great value,exelent service

Simple cheap and keeps my knives razor sharp

Works great, is cheap and helps keep my blades razor sharp

Definately not pocketble but brilliant for a rucksack, really happy with it thanks

Quite a bit bigger than I was expecting. It does the job.

The ceramic rod is more substantial than I was expecting. It does, however, realign my Japanese and European knives.extremrly well so they are razor sharp. All you need is a few strokes either side to realign the blade and get them back to being razor sharp. Very easy to clean the rod. All in all very happy with my purchase and would recommend without hesitation. .
