Bryne, 9"

I've been using this 9-inch rod for a few weeks and it does a great job realigning the edge on my German chef's knife after heavy meal prep. The steel feels sturdy and the length gives me plenty of control.

Finally, a honing steel that actually makes a difference. My German chef's knife felt dull after a week, and this rod realigned the edge in just a few passes—the 9-inch length gives me perfect control.

The 9-inch length gives me perfect control when honing my chef's knife, and the steel rod feels sturdy enough to last years. My blade slices through paper again after just a few passes.
