SHARPAL 119N Diamond Sharpening Steel – Professional Solid Knife Sharpener Honing Rod with Built-In Angle Guides, Sharpens, Realigns, and Polishes Edges for Chef and Kitchen Knives

Was reasonable price on sale, seems well made, good size and works well sharpening my kitchen knives. Does what I need it to do.

Great sharpening rod. Quickly removes steel. Can use the edge as is or strop to get razor sharpness. Great price.

Dont worry about the black lines formed by residual steel from the knife. Use a damp cloth and elbow grease, it will clean off. I freaked remembering others saying that the diamond coating came off. This was not to be the case. Hone your edge on leather and you have an almost laser edge. Slices cleanly.

This sharping “steel” is EXCELLENT.I FIRST USED IT ON OUR EXPENSIVE KITCHEN KNIVES.And, then, I used the steel on our “cheapo” steak knives, which we use daily at our dining room table. I was impressed with how quickly they were sharper, than when new💥👏💕I AM VERY IMPRESSED WITH THE QUALITY AND THE PRICE 👏💕👀🦬

Great value. I love it. Works well and fits in my bag nicely.

I bought this diamond sharpening tod in December 2022. Here are my takeways:1. WHAT IS THE QUALITY OF THE PRODUCT?I gotta say, the quality has been exceptional. I've been using for over a year and I probably used it a thousand times so far, as I do spend a lot of time in my kitchen. Extremely sturdy, plastic handle is super easy to grip and it feels great in the hand. It's not heavy, comparing to the regular, steel rod. I noticed some reviewers had problem with the diamonds on the rod, however, after a year I haven't encountered any issues. Maintenance is extremely easy, I wipe it with the dry, terry cloth. Do not wash it in the dishwasher as it will more than likely rust, or the heat will ruin the diamonds.2. HOW DOES THIS PRODUCT PERFORM?Performance is another key aspect of this rod. The fine diamond mesh embedded in the rod, sharpens any knife in just a couple of swipes. Literally you will spend seconds in sharpening your knife. I need to mention, you cannot hone and set the edge with this rod, you will need to use a honing stone for that.3. IS THE PRODUCT EASY TO USE?Needless to say, no instruction is necessary. Few seconds, few swipes and your blade is razor sharp. Cutting through the soft tomatoes or soft meats has been extreme pleasure.4. IS THE PRODUCT A GOOD VALUE FOR THE MONEY?Comparing with other diamond rods out there, that can cost upward of hundreds of dollars, after a year of using it daily, I can say it's extremely great value for the money.5. WOULD I RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT TO YOU?You know what they say, the most dangerous knife is the dull knife. Well you will not have a problem with this product. I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for super affordable, long-lasting rod, that is easy to use and keep your knife set razor sharp!!

Sharpens well. What bothers me is the handle has 6 sides and they are all 20°. 5 stars if the handle had various sharpening degrees or at least an adapter that could be attached to the handle for various sharpening degrees in addition to 20°

love it, very little effort and the angle guides on handel help
