Please don't listen to "Capt Tom". A grooved steel can give similar results if used VERY cautiously, but because all the tiny contact points put greater pressure on the knife they can actually cause microscopic serrations.If you spent the money on a quality knife do yourself a favor and go ceramic. It might take a little longer to hone you knife, but you can rest easy knowing that you are properly realigning the edge without ruining your precious knife.While I love my Mac knives, I can't say the same for this ceramic rod. Mine came with two small protrusions on it just waiting to ding my edge. Luckily, there's enough clean real estate on the rod to avoid these problematic areas. However, I don't think I should have to go through the hassle of orienting the ceramic rod so carefully every time I want to run my knife down it.

I've been very impressed with this sharpening rod. It's a great product, but more importantly it's a great value. Before buying this product, I priced ceramic sharpening steels around the Toronto area [where I live] and came away appalled at how much places were charging. They commonly ranged in price from $50-150, and none were much different than this one. I recently compared this rod to a $150 Global ceramic sharpening rod, and couldn't find much difference in the ceramic surface. The difference was that the Global rod featured their signature metal handle, and a giant rubber guard at the top of the handle. The finger guard on the Mac rod is quite trim, but I have yet to really see any need for a giant rubber guard. If you are really so concerned about cutting down into the handle and catching your fingers, you don't need a $150 rod, you need to change your technique.Read Best Reviews of MAC brand Ceramic Knife Sharpener #SR85 Here
For the money? You can't go wrong. I keep my knives razor sharp and own both the MAC "black ceramic" and this one, the SR85 "white ceramic". The "white ceramic" is less expensive then the black but for general use, it's great.This is a great sharpener and again for the money, I seen it on reviews about ceramic sharpeners on the internet and went with it ( took a chance heehee, best deal ), I would have expected it to cost more for the way it looks and the job it does of honing my knives. Thanks House Of Rice for the great product, I purchased 2 #SR85 Ceramic Honers, in case I drop it or it comes missing heehee.
