Review: First rate - Okay, this is expensive. Now that this is behind us, let me say that I love this honing rod! If you're interested in buying this then you already know why it is a good idea in general. This one is unusual, in that it has four vertical quadrants: one pair has the traditional ridges, the other pair is smooth. Each part of a pair is opposite the other and these parts alternate. You use the ridged pair to smooth out the edges of the blade (of course), and then rotate the rod 90 degrees to do a final smoothing, almost polishing. A little weird, but it works like a charm. I think I'll be able to double the time between actual sharpenings, and we use at least four knives every day. I would support Cook's Illustrated's choice of the Kramer by Zwilling as the best honing rod. If you're thinking about buying a honing rod, and can afford this one, then I'm pretty sure you won't be disappointed.
Review: Quality - A steel is an essential part of keeping the edge on your knives. The Twilling steel, is a must.
