Global ceramic sharpening rod

With the round ceramic sharpening rod from Global, you will always get the necessary sharpness for your kitchen knives. The advantage of ceramic rods is that they are ideally designed for high-quality Japanese knives https://www.kochen-essen-wohnen.de/japanische-messer.html and good German knives. They are not too coarse and allow fine sharpening of blades with a higher blade hardness. For example, the Japanese knives from Global https://www.kochen-essen-wohnen.de/profi-kuechenmesser, those from the Kai Wasabi Black https://www.kochen-essen-wohnen.de/wasabi-black-kochmesser.html knife series and other knives that are not too hard can be sharpened with the sharpening rod.

The Global sharpening rods are manufactured exclusively by Kyocera. They are particularly hard, but they are sensitive to impact. The handles are made of stainless steel. There is a hard rubber hand guard between the blade and the handle. The hard rubber protects you from injury. In addition, the high-quality hard rubber prevents the knife blade from being damaged in the event of accidental contact with the hand guard.

To keep Japanese knives and most Damascus knives sharp, an angle of 15 degrees should be maintained when sharpening. Knives with a European grind are sharpened with a grinding angle of about 20 degrees. The last 2 to 5 honings should be done in the opposite direction to the previous sharpening to remove the burr from the edge.

When selecting a sharpening rod, care should be taken to ensure that it is at least as long as the longest knife to be sharpened. The Global sharpening rod is suitable for knives up to 22 cm long.

Through use, the ceramic becomes clogged with metal abrasion. This can be easily removed with the rough side of a dishwashing sponge. It is best to remove the metal abrasion after 10 sharpening processes at the latest so that the ceramic of the sharpening rod can sharpen optimally.
