Why the set
A quick touch-up before you cook
Wudy Kitchen
A round Japanese-style sharpening rod for quick edge touch-ups on double-bevel knives between stone sessions.
An edge does not go dull all at once. It rolls over to one side, and that is the point where an onion starts crushing instead of parting under the knife.
This round Japanese-style rod pushes that edge back into line in a few passes. Hold the rod steady, draw the blade down at a consistent angle, and alternate sides. Thirty seconds before prep is enough to keep a knife cutting cleanly for weeks.
Use it for maintenance between whetstone sessions, not instead of them. It suits double-bevel kitchen knives, and its silver finish wipes clean after each use.
Wipe the rod clean after use so filings do not build up. Store it dry. Use light pressure, since heavy force wears the edge faster.


Why the set
Why the set
No, it is for maintenance between full sharpenings. When the edge is very dull, use a whetstone or a sharpening service.
Match your knife: about 15 degrees per side for many Japanese blades, and about 20 for typical Western blades.
A few light passes before or after heavy prep. Light, frequent honing will not harm a healthy edge.
It is meant for double-bevel kitchen knives.
