12-in white ceramic honing rod with a diamond plate on the handle. Ceramic rods are perfect for Japanese knives. They have a higher grit for a smooth finish and are much more delicate than a steel honing rod. This one has a unique option of the diamond plate on the edge of the handle, which is good If you have a really dull knife that you need a quick pick up and don't have any stones. Give it a few passes on the diamond plate and then polish it on the ceramic for a super smooth cut.
