MITSUMOTO SAKARI 12-inch Japanese Knife Sharpening Honing Rod, Professional Kitchen Knife Sharpener

MITSUMOTO SAKARI, a brand committed to quality kitchenware, combines traditional Japanese hand forging techniques with modern advanced technology to craft exceptional kitchen knives. The company's design and development center, located in Echizen City, Fukui Prefecture, Japan, is dedicated to passing on the spirit of Japanese chef knife making to their products.

Each exquisite MITSUMOTO SAKARI kitchen knife is carefully crafted by skilled knifemakers, taking at least 90 days to forge by hand. By preserving the age-old tradition of hand forging while incorporating modern quality materials and the latest technology, the brand provides professional chefs and home cooks alike with high-quality kitchenware.

The MITSUMOTO SAKARI 10/12 inch Black Diamond Honing Steel is a professional Japanese knife sharpener designed to maximize the sharpness and performance of all types of knives, including kitchen knives, serrated bread knives, paring knives, meat knives, scissors, butcher knives, hunting knives, and even lawnmower blades.

Crafted with a high-carbon steel core and a black diamond surface, the honing rod is vacuum heat-treated to a hardness of 68±1 HRC. The 10,000 grit sharpening surface allows for precise edge repair without compromising the integrity of the blade, resulting in a razor-sharp edge.

The ergonomically designed sour wood octagonal handle provides excellent hand control, a comfortable grip, and maximum dexterity, while the steel hand guard ensures the knives will not be easily touched during use. This durable and long-lasting sharpening system can quickly and precisely maintain the optimal performance of your most prized knives.

The professional knife honing rod is packaged in an exquisite sandalwood gift box, making it a thoughtful gift for birthdays, Father's Day, Mother's Day, or other special occasions.

Before the first use, the honing steel should be cleaned with tap water and dried with a cloth. After each use, it should be cleaned and stored in a dry, well-ventilated area. The product should not be put in a dishwasher for cleaning.

To use the knife sharpening rod, support the tip of the knife on a solid surface, hold the steel vertically with your non-dominant hand, and with your dominant hand, hold the knife firmly on the steel at a 20-degree angle. Gently pull the blade down the steel from the handle to the tip, repeating 4-5 times on each side of the blade.

MITSUMOTO SAKARI's commitment to quality is evident in their collection of professional kitchen tools, including 2-sided whetstones, 3-sided whetstones, and 10-inch flat and round honing steels, all designed to maintain the sharpness and performance of your most cherished knives.
