"Very nice and works great. Seems to sharpen faster and better than our other sharpeners. The only complaint that I have is that my husband has my knives so sharp I'm concerned I may lose a finger. LOL I'll have to learn better knife safety now."

Realign and Sharpen your Knife's Edge
The key to a knife that remains just as sharp as when you took it out of the box, is sharpness and alignment. When you use a knife every day, its edge gets dull and bent out of shape.
Our Rod:
◘ Can be used to push the edge back to the centre and straighten it while not shaving off huge amount of steel. Stainless steel knives usually want honing after every 2-4 uses and our rod makes this process fast & effortless.
◘ Not only hones, but also sharpens your knife's edge. After each use you will see thin black stripes on your white rod - these are pieces of steel from your knife's edge. This process helps keep the edge sharp for longer.
Hone your knife regularly with Green Elephant Ceramic Rod, and we guarantee that you need to sharpen your knife only once every 1-2 years.
Lightweight design & ergonomic handle makes it extremely easy to use honing rod.
With a lengthy ceramic surface, you're able to keep even your longest kitchen knives sharp easily.
"This is a lightweight kitchen tool, fitted with a unique rubber end to protect it.
It replaced my not-quite-ancient diamond dust metal rod. The Green Elephant rod is easy to use: assuming the correct angle while drawing the knife is a snap because of the low weight.
My kitchen knives, as well as my Buck hunting/utility knife and my penknife are sharper than I can ever remember."

Shock absorbing tip:
Regular ceramic honing rods in general are very fragile and shatter when dropped.
Case study: 100 Green Elephant ceramic sharpening rods were dropped from 3 feet to tile ground which lead to an amazing “survival rate” of 80%.
Caution:
- Try not to drop the rod
- Do not use on serrated side of blade
- Do not use on ceramic blades
- Do not bend the ceramic rod – it might break the magic formula inside that keeps the rod from shattering when dropped.
Background: Why do we make these Rods?
- Because we are food enthusiasts who like to solve problems!
After browsing through all the honing steel listings in Amazon and reading countless reviews, we saw the common problem. Ceramic rods break so easily when dropped and it is impossible to sharpen your knives with just pieces of the rod.
Upon hearing the same concerns from other food enthusiasts in forums as well as from professional sharpening services, we found a way to bring you this Ceramic Rod with a unique ability to outlive and outperform its regular counterparts.
The positive feedback we received for our sharpening rod was so overwhelming that gave us all the more reason to be proud of our achievement. Furthermore, it also allows us to be bold in our statements about our product’s quality.
