MAC's SR-85 215mm Honing Rod has a medium 1200 hardness surface that polishes and sharpens your knife.

Similar in function to European ‘steel’, these sticks are designed for ‘finishing’ or gently straightening the blade of a knife.

It can be used on a daily basis in a restaurant setting or every few weeks in a home setting.
This is not a substitute for knife sharpening, which should also be done every few weeks (in restaurants) and every few months (at home).

Ceramic finishing sticks are stiffer than traditional steel and therefore have a finer hardness for a faster and better result.
The MAC ceramic finishing stick ensures a finely finished, high quality blade for your knife.

It should be noted that the stick itself is fragile (as it is ceramic, it will break on contact with a hard surface).
The wooden handle has been flat-worked to avoid rolling and has a cord for hanging.

It is not recommended to wash in a dishwasher!
