Probably the best ceramic sharpener price vs quality.

Medium to medium fine grit ceramic steel. A little short but a good handle, comfortable in the hand and a few wipes restores the edge on slightly dulled knive. It only needs a gentle touch though for best results on fine edges and you have to take care to get the angle right. Three to five wipes each side followed by a a few wipes on a leather strop restores edges to razor sharp. The only thing to take great care over is not to drop it as I did! It will shatter as with all ceramic steels so needs to be kept stored in the protective plastic housing it came with. I have ordered a more robust one as this is just a little too thin and fragile for regular use and abuse in a busy kitchen. Regular use staves off the need to restore edges on water stones or whetstones but don't think these are a replacement for proper use of fine grit sharpening and honing stones as they're not but they are very useful. I found it best to use a good quality steel first then use this sharpener to refine the edge before stropping. Takes seconds. Just be prepared to go through a few of these if you drop or damage them.

I've been struggling to sharpen my bread knife for many months now and a previous sharpener that I had bought was simply too narrow for the gauge of the teeth on the knife. I took the plunge and bought this sharpening rod as a last ditched attempt before buying a new knife. Well what a revelation. 30 minutes of toil on the blade and it's as sharp as a razor. The knife slides through bread, like a hot knife through butter. I'm so glad I bought this little item - it's a gem.
