In this video Josh talks about the some of our favorite honing rods. Interested in the honing rods featured in this video? Available here! bit.ly/3hzGA34
I like to use a steel hone..then a ceramic..follow up with a lite strop. If you maintain a knife you should never need to worry about ever dulling..all my knives are scary sharp
Some honing steel rods seem to have very fine striations, while others seem to have course/deep striations. Does this matter when honing a knife? For example, I used to have a honing steel from mid-range German branded (but made in Spain) knife set, and used it for over 10years, and noticed the striations appear worn down compared to a honing steel at a friends house. I ended up ordering a new Mercer Made in Germany honing steel, and it definitely had a more pronounced striations. Does having deeper striations help or hurt a knife? I see that two of the three honing rods shown have no striation (ceramic) or fine striations, and that got me thinking.
a stone and a honing rod are different tools. Honing rods are for honing your knife. A stone… is for sharpening a knife. It is plain you do not use knives regularly or professionally.

Hi

The best honing rod is the one that's in the trash.
Use a stone and a strop.
Such a hardcore comment
