Many years ago (>50), I was assigned to keep the meat department knives sharp. I kept the knives very sharp, but it was not an easy task using a three sided oil stone with different grits. I did learn how to sharpen, use a steel to keep the edge whenever I could. In time, the blade would become duller and I would have to sharpen the knives again. That was my first job, working the meat counter, cleaning up at the end of the day and sharpening the knives.Eventually I changed jobs to the computer business. I had learned that keeping my knives SHARP and safe. I went through quite a number of sharpening tools including whet stones, oil stones, wheel stones etc. Most a pain in the neck.I came across the diamond sharpener rod and found it to be the best I have ever used. I keep my knives sharp from 10 inch French knives to boning knives, paring knives and more.This Diamond Knife Sharpener Rod has a long life and will serve you well for many years.p.s. A sharp knife is the safest knife; the most danger-est knife is a dull knife. Keep yours SHARP.
