The ceramic works better than steels
I got my global ceramic sharpening rod at a Williams and Sonoma sale a few years back. It is my first steel. I used to "steel" my knives by using the lowest setting on my Chef Choice 100. The ceramic is more than just a steel which bends the edge of the knife back into place; it gives you a bit of fresh edge so you don't need to sharpen your knives as frequently. It's also faster and *much* less noisy than using the Chef's Choice.
In comparison, I've used a diamond steel while I was visiting a friend's kitchen and was blown away when the fresh edge didn't appear.
And I must thank the knowledgable saleswoman at Williams Sonoma who gave me such good advice.
A good rod, I would go with the diamond one thou
Works great, but it doesn't get my knifes all the way sharp. I have tried a friend's Global diamond rod and it does make a difference.
Pricey but effective
This was purchased for restoring the edges of Global kitchen knives. It has done that well, but surely, the price could be more reasonable.
