SHARPAL 118H Ceramic Honing Rod – Built-in 20° Guide, Anti-Break Cap

Precision sharpening, simplified

The SHARPAL 118H Ceramic Honing Rod combines a robust 3000 grit ceramic surface with a built-in 20-degree angle guide, helping you maintain blade geometry while you sharpen. The hexagonal hand guard reduces slips, keeping your strokes controlled and safe at the counter or in the workshop.

Key features that stand out

• Durable ceramic surface is significantly harder than steel, enabling reliable edge refinement on tough blades.
• 3000 grit finish delivers strong abrasion resistance and a refined, polished edge over time.
• Removable rubber cap protects surfaces and minimizes chipping if the rod is dropped.
• Ceramic is non-toxic, odorless, and rust-free for lasting performance.
• Built-in 20° angle guides promote consistent sharpening angles, while the hexagonal guard helps prevent slips.
• Backed by SHARPAL’s 3-year commitment and global after-sales support from the USA, Germany, and Australia.

In daily use

Expect a controlled, clean sharpening experience that helps blades feel smoother and more responsive with each pass. It’s well-suited for kitchen knives, specialty blades, and tools that benefit from a fine edge refinement.

• Quick touch-ups between heavy use restore edge feel with minimal effort.
• Compact and tidy, easy to store in a knife kit or toolbox for ready access.

Designed with safety and longevity in mind, the 118H aims to deliver reliable performance across environments, making it a practical addition to both home kitchens and professional setups.

Holding technique is straightforward: rest the rod on a stable surface, apply light pressure, and glide the blade along the edge with steady, controlled strokes. The built-in 20° guide helps maintain consistent bevel alignment, reducing the risk of uneven edges and nicks over time.
