Honing Rods and Steel

Honing is the process of sharpening a knife after you get the perfect bevel. Honing requires you to correct or move rolled over metal back into position. You hone your knife as you pass it over the honing rod, alternating sides as you go. Just like other sharpening stones, honing steels come with different grits. The higher the grit, the finer it is - thus, the sharper your knife will be.

Larger honing rods are best suited for larger fixed blade knives and kitchen knives, so be sure to note that while you peruse our collection. You’ll find both steel and ceramic variations here, and a length range that will give a knife of any size a razor sharp edge. KnifeCenter has smaller, portable options that are able to sharpen serrated blades and full size honing steels.
