Professional Magnetized Honing Rod

The Iwatani honing rod is a 13-inch carbon steel tool with nickel-chrome plating designed for realigning kitchen knife edges. Its magnetized surface captures metal filings during use to keep blades and food clean. A streamlined non-slip PP handle provides a secure grip for chefs and home cooks maintaining chef, paring and fruit knives.

13-Inch Length and Ultra-Fine Surface

The 13-inch overall length offers sufficient reach for long chef knives while remaining lightweight and easy to control. Dense uniform sawteeth on the rod restore a keen edge in just a few strokes. The ultra-fine texture suits regular maintenance but is not intended for reprofiling heavily damaged or very thick blades.

Carbon Steel Build with Nickel-Chrome Plating

High-grade carbon steel delivers hardness and corrosion resistance so the rod resists rust and wear over time. Nickel-chrome plating adds further protection against moisture in a kitchen environment. The 14.37 cm by 2.48 cm by 1.18 cm dimensions and hand-wash-only care keep the tool compact and hygienic for daily storage.

Questions about this item

Will the 13-inch carbon steel rod with nickel-chrome plating damage my older high-carbon knives?

No, the ultra-fine sawteeth realign the edge without removing significant metal, so vintage or high-carbon blades stay intact.

How do I know the magnetized feature is actually catching filings after I hone a blade?

Wipe the rod with a white cloth after use; grey metal dust on the cloth confirms the magnet is pulling particles off the knife.

Does the set include a protective sleeve or do I need to buy one separately for the 14.37 cm rod?

The set contains only the honing rod with its PP handle; a sleeve or guard is not included and must be purchased separately.
