A review about the diamond rod
I was a meatcutter for some 20 yrs,and was surprised to see a diamond sharpening rod for this price. To be honest, I am used to a "steel" that is about 11" or longer. This "steel" is quite short but, will do the job. When a diamond sharpener is used, it is better to use light quick strokes
rather than hard stokes when using this product...I think that it is worth the price and efficient when used correctly.
False image, but good tool.
Though the photo of the tool shows it looking like a green finished aluminum housing that the diamond rod unscrews from then force fits for use. Actually the housing is black ABS plastic and the diamond rod just sits in not very tightly, and you reverse it for use. I already owned a couple of these but when I saw the ad on Amazon I liked the idea of the aluminum housing and the threaded rod even better so I ordered three. You can imagine my disappointment getting three more of the plastic units. I find this ad grossly misleading but the units do a great job, I fillet a lot of fish and I'm able to keep my fillet knives as well as all my other knives super sharp.
Kitchen knives.
Used this for kitchen knives. Definitely makes them sharper, and another reviewer's comment about light, quick strokes is the way to go. I think I need to figure out how to handle it a little better. It is quite small, and the sharpener came in black plasticy-rubbery casing, not the green as pictured. Also the sharpening stick is a dark gray with a small indent on one side-- I'm assuming for sharpening serrated edges. And it works pretty well.
