Overview of our sharpening rods
The perfect choice of sharpening rod is crucial to keeping your knives in optimum condition and ensuring that they are always sharp and ready for use. IOXIO sharpening rods are available in different grits, from coarse to fine. Coarse grits remove more material and are ideal for severely damaged, dull blades, while fine grits are suitable for sharpening up to fine sharpening and maintaining already sharp blades.
