Refined and Global 10 Diamond Sharpening Steel

Maintaining Sharp Knives with the Global Knife Sharpener

The Global knife sharpener, equipped with a ceramic rod, offers a superior edge-honing solution for any knife. By using this tool, you can easily sharpen your knives and achieve a finer edge than traditional sharpening rods. The steel handle provides a comfortable grip and a finger guard, ensuring a safe and secure sharpening experience.

Employing the sharpened knives, you can effortlessly slice through a variety of dishes, from fruit tarts to potato fries. This ceramic rod is designed to withstand long-term use and can be easily maintained with a simple hand wash and drying.

Although steel rods are often touted as sharpening tools, they primarily realign or reset the blade's edge, which can become bent from contact with cutting surfaces or hard objects. In contrast, the chrome/vanadium stainless-steel rod of this sharpener contains thousands of diamond particles, giving it the necessary hardness to slightly sharpen the blade. While it cannot replace a professional sharpening service, which involves progressive grinding at controlled angles, this tool can extend the time between professional sharpening sessions by polishing the edge to a fine point.

The exceptional craftsmanship of this sharpener is evident in its solid-core rod, which has been plated with hard chrome for increased resistance to abrasion and extended lifespan. The oval shape of the 3/4-inch-wide rod exposes a larger surface area, allowing for quicker and more efficient honing compared to a cylindrical design. Mirroring the comfort and safety features of Global's signature knife handles, the steel handle of this sharpener is molded for a secure and comfortable grip.

To ensure optimal results, the rule of thumb is that the length of the steel should match or exceed the length of the knife blade being sharpened. At 10 inches, this sharpener's rod is suitable for most household knives, making it a versatile and reliable tool for maintaining the keen edge of your culinary companions.
