6" Diamond Rod - Supreme Series (X02)

Your chef knife isn't dull. It's crooked. After a week of regular cutting, the microscopic edge folds over and the blade starts pushing food instead of slicing through it. A diamond rod realigns that edge in two minutes, without removing steel the way a whetstone does. Run it before dinner, not after the damage is done.

Honing, Not Sharpening

There's a difference worth knowing. Sharpening grinds away steel to form a new edge. Honing straightens the edge you already have. This 6" diamond-coated rod does the second job fast -- the fine diamond surface catches the edge and pushes it back into line with a few strokes per side. Do it every few days and your knife stays sharp between stone sessions rather than slowly degrading until it won't cut a tomato cleanly. It works on all German steel knives in the Supreme Series range, and on any other kitchen knife in the same hardness bracket.
