MITSUMOTO SAKARI 10 inch Professional Knife Sharpening Steel Honing Rod, Japanese Kitchen Steel Knife Sharpener, High Carbon Flat Honing Rod(ABS Handle & Powerful Magnet)

Great bit of kit. Feels reassuringly weighty (not heavy) and leaves my knife razor sharp.

Great sharpener, Japanese quality wort buying

Excellent job thanks

This is best sharpening steel I have ever used and it comes in a beautiful box and it very ergonomic to use

First the good points; this is a very well-made item. Excellent craftsmanship. I cannot fault the build quality at all. It comes with a very nice presentation box. It performs pretty well also. My only concern is that I paid more for it than I think it is really worth (£58 at the time of purchase). I think maybe £40 would be a fairer price. Again, the quality is outstanding and the performance is great, but I think my 3-year-old ceramic sharpener/honer rod does a slightly better job with my Zwilling knives and it was almost half the price of this. The downside of a ceramic sharpener is of course you have to be careful you don't drop it as they are quite brittle! Perhaps the flat version of this knife sharpener might perform a little better, but I'm not rich enough to buy another one. :)

Works well with my Japanese knives.

This honing steel is excellent, in all respects, I couldn’t be happier, definitely recommended.

Fantastic bit of kit
