Description This Kyocera CSW-18-BK Ceramic Steel is 9 long and excellent for edge maintenance on any kitchen knife. This works well on knives with the harder Japanese steels, such as the Shun or Global brands. Care in handling is advised, as accidental dropping or striking on the counter will result in breakage. This ceramic butcher steel is also great for any other kitchen knife, giving a very smooth, polished edge. Cutting with a dull knife can be dangerous. It is important to maintain your steel knives in between uses. The dual-sided surface of Kyocera’s ceramic rod provides for sharpening and honing a blade. This sharpening rod is made of advanced ceramic. This material is close to the hardness of a diamond. The durability of this rod will provide excellent results when re-sharpening or honing the cutting edge of your metal-based knives, scissors, and cutting tools. When your metal-based knife or cutting tool is extremely dull, first use the ribbed side of the ceramic rod to sharpen the blade by creating a finely ribbed texture on the primary cutting edge. Follow by using the smooth surface to hone or finish the edge. In conclusion, the Kyocera CSW-18-BK Ceramic Steel 9″ is available for purchase in the store or online.
