uKeeping Our Knives Sharp 101/u As counterintuitive as it may sound, a sharper knife is a safer knife Dull knife blades tempt us towards bad habits while cutting, putting our fingers where we don’t want them to be Thus it is imperative we keep our blades sharp. So how do we go about doing that uHoning Rods vs. Knife Sharpeners/u Honing a knife absolutely makes a blade’s edge “sharper,” so it makes sense that many of us think a honing rod is actually a sharpening rod. There’s a difference though. What we see chefs doing all the time on our favorite cooking show is actually honing a knife rather than sharpening it. Sharpening a knife is usually done with a whetstone and removes a noticeable amount of metal from the blade. For home cooks, this shouldn’t be done more than 2 times a year. What we should be doing on a regular basis, is honing our knives A knife hone does remove a small amount of metal, but it is minimal. Rather, a hone realigns the blade’s edge, which has experienced microscopic folds during use, removing the dullness created over time. Readjusting the knife edge will make it cut like without taking away so much of the knife itself, helping the blade last longer than it would from repeated sharpening uWhat About Ceramic Hones/u Ceramic rods fall somewhere between honing and sharpening depending on their grit. A ceramic grit around 400-800 is sharpening your knife. A grit around 2000 is honing your knife. The main difference between all honing rods is how hard each is, and how much metal they remove from your knife. Briefly, coarseness and metal removed in decreasing order is diamond, ceramic, steel. Ceramic rods should always be used over steel rods for harder knives like Japanese knives. uWhat Sets Noble Home & Chef’s Honing Rod Apart/u 4-sided with 2 grit options: Stropped 1000 grit or a fine 2000 gritOval handle allows for a sturdy, firm grip for added safetyThe Ceramic possesses ultra-high hardness (Mohs 9, Rockwell over 100), high accuracy of straightness, and low thermal conductivityincludes a stainless steel ring used to conveniently hang the rod for storageCeramic rods are lighter than sharpening steels therefore reducing fatigue when repeated use is necessaryEasily cleaned with soapy water, rinsed, and allowed to dry.
