I normally don't write reviews. This is the perfect rod for high carbon professional knives.

I got both version rod from this brand, I'm really love this colour because the white one easy to get dirt.

This is a fantastic 2000/3000 grit ceramic hone and I couldn't be more satisfied. I've been looking for a replacement for my Wusthof grooved steel hone which is too aggressive and does not maintain my extremely sharp edges on my Wusthof knifes.Ideally, very fine sharp knife edges need to be maintained with honing before each use or when you notice a loss of sharpness. A hone doesn't really sharpen knives, they maintain sharpness by straightening the edge and/or by putting on (sharpening) a tiny micro bevel.I would recommend the white hone if you need a hone that will be more aggressive in its ability to do minor sharpening. Get the black hone if you want to maintain your freshly sharpened knives at a very high level.I recently started learning how to sharpening my own knives at a very high level. A have a Sharp PT50B tester to measure sharpness. Scores in the 50-100 range are extremely sharp (scary sharp), Scores 100-200 are a pleasure to use and scores in the 200-300 are typical of new high end knives.My knives consistently measure in the 50-100 range after sharpening which are scary sharp. However, after several uses, especially with a cutting board, they will often measure in the 200-250 range. Still very sharp, but not a pleasure to use as compared to the initial sharpening. After using this hone (20-30 strokes per side) I'm back to getting sharpness scores in the 140-160 range. If the knife has been really worked over, then I will do 5 to 20 strokes with the "coarse/grooved" part of the hone to more aggressively recreate the micro bevel.I'm very satisfied with this purchase. I now have a way to maintain/restore the sharpness on my knives between sharpening. Exactly what I was looking for.

This honing rod is absolutely fantastic. I have another ceramic honing rod that I have used for about a year now and I can immediately tell this one is far better at obtaining a much sharper edge on all of my knives after a few uses. It's an absolute dream to use. I start on the honing rod and move to the leather strops once I'm done to obtain a truly sharp edge. I have a few couple hundred dollar knives and this is exactly what you want if you want to take your knives from being dull to being professionally sharp. I am not a spokes person nor am I someone sponsored to talk about it at all. I just really love cooking and sharp knives and this thing has made me extremely happy. I have never been happier sharpening my knives then after getting rid of my clunky terrible old ceramic honing rod and using this one instead.Ps: get the 2k-3k option. 1k-2k is good but if you want it really sharp get the black one. And you don't need both. It will just take a little bit longer to sharpen using the 2k-3k since it doesn't take off as much material but the edge will be a lot sharper.
