Excellent for Everyday Use
"I purchased the 1200 grit rod to replace another honing steel that wouldn't get the job done. The Messermeister rod is superior in every way. My blades stay sharp through heavy use and a light touch up at the end keeps everything sharp for the next use. This is the second Messermeister product I've purchased - the first is the 12" Kullens slicer and it is phenomenal. But that's a story for another time ."

Better than a honing steel.
"Cutting for 9+ hours a day, a few quick passes throughout the day keeps the blade zinging continuously. Yes I recommend it."
