Taylor Eye Witness Professional Series 25cm Sharpening Steel
Put simply, a sharpening rod is a bar of material that is considerably harder than the blade it is designed to sharpen. A good quality sharpening rod, such as this one, acts to realign microscopic kinks, curls, and folds that appear on a blade edge during normal use. They aren't designed to remove material from the blade, but act to restructure the grind profile for better cutting performance and longer lasting sharpness.
