Abalone diamond grinding rod – sharpening without effort

Whether head chef or passionate hobby chef – anyone who wants to have fun working in the kitchen needs sharp knives. This is the only way to bring the cut material into the desired shape without great effort and with the necessary respect for food. To ensure that a Damascus kitchen knife always remains sharp, the diamond grinding rod is used. But how does it work exactly?

Sharpening and grinding – keeps knives sharp

The two terms are often used as synonyms, but there is one major difference. When weeding, the blade is pulled with the burr created by cutting over a whetstone or leather (razor of the barber). In simple words, the flattened cutting edge is straightened up again. When grinding with our diamond grinding rod, material is sanded and a really new cutting edge is formed. No effort is required for this. The damask knife is simply pulled at a constant angle over the diamond sharpening rod.

The sharpening tool with special Abalone handle

We are of the opinion that such a highly functional tool for sharpening the knife also deserves an extraordinary grip. We have therefore equipped our grinding rod for knives with a hybrid handle made of acrylic and abalone shell. Depending on the angle of view, there is always a play of light of colors – the iridescent effect of the mother-of-pearl effect. Simply select the diamond grinding rod from the Abalone collection and complete the knife block.
