Product information
Between full sharpening sessions, you want to keep the edge sharp without immediately reaching for the whetstone. The Kazoku ceramic sharpening rod #2000 is fine enough to touch up the edge: light sharpening and polishing in one motion.
Extra-fine ceramic (#2000)
Grit 2000 is finer than a classic coarse sharpening rod. It doesn't remove a large amount of steel, but aligns and refines the edge. Suitable for stainless steel knives such as the Nisei series, provided you maintain the correct angle and use light pressure.
How to use the rod
Maintain a consistent angle (often around 15–20° for this type of knife), draw the knife from heel to tip across the rod, switch sides, and repeat a few times. Do not apply heavy pressure: the ceramic does the work. Wash and dry the knife afterward.
No substitute for the whetstone
If the knife is truly dull or damaged, a whetstone is required. The sharpening rod is for maintenance in between. For the finishing touch after sharpening on a stone, you can use the Paddle Strop.
