Professional Kitchen Honing Rod

The Iwatani MDB-01 is a 12 inch honing rod designed for chefs and home cooks who need to maintain a sharp edge on kitchen knives. Its 9 inch high carbon steel rod realigns blades with a few back-and-forth strokes. The silver nickel-chrome plating protects the cutting edge during use.

High Carbon Steel With Ergonomic Grip

The rod measures 12 by 1.3 by .9 inches and features a fine surface that prevents edge damage while honing. An ergonomic PP handle with a slip-resistant rubber base keeps the tool steady on the work surface. This build suits daily professional and domestic sharpening tasks.

Upgrade From Basic Steels

This rod replaces shorter or unplated steels that wear quickly and lack a secure grip. The longer 9 inch sharpening surface suits larger chef and bone knives. Buyers who need powered sharpening or diamond abrasives for damaged blades will not find that function here.
