dont finish your passes the same number on your final pass do one less 🤔
Don't use this excuse of a tool.. It's not useful at all. If you actually have sharpened the knife and removed the burr correctly your knife won't be dulled by simply touching the board and definitely not by cutting fruits, vegetables and meats. If you wanna learn how to sharpen a knife and understand what actually sharp means then watch videos from Outdoors55
He also made a video about honing rod and why it's outdated and it's actually were never meant to sharpen a knife only "straighten" the rolled edges "allegedly"
This lady is awesome❤
Through it away and get a whetstone 😂
Wow, thanks for starting out by degrading me…

I've seen an expert sharpener on YouTube write off these solid steel honing rods altogether. Outdoor55 on YouTube made an in detail macro lens video about knife edges after honing rod usage that is worth a watch.
A good instruction for how to use a tool that has no useful function. As better instruction would be to throw the honing steel in the trash and actually sharpen your knife.
I prefer my whetstone
❤❤❤❤
Oh really? Says who?
Pro tip: Practice on a dull knife, use a practice rod or grid rod (grid rods are hard af to find tho since they never really took off but they really help you learn to hone)
I have been sharpening knifes for years on end as a chef and honing is one of the EASIEST skills to master if you get taught properly… Its not even about the angle there but about the propper Rod (which is STRAIGHT unlike in this demonstration, the tip will just set you off balance ruining your honing experience) understanding what a honing rod is… (A honing rod is for straightening the edge, not for direct sharpening…) and learning all the methods, from pushing it into a towel in a 90° angle and running the blade down to going free style like Gordon Ramsey (he has a great tutorial on that, watch it)
I also absolutely recommend to learn how to make knifes if you really want to be good at it because making your own set really changes how you view your knifes…
That's a great way but I find it even more easier and enjoyable too later steel horizontal and then do trailing knife strokes like using a knife on the shopping stone, the vertical rod method just is not ergonomic or enjoyable.
if you have watch that youtube video what look at microscopic of how the knife edge changes, I would not use horning steel ever.

it is destroying your knife. do not use it. get a stone. it does not fix the roll edge.
Honing rods are trash guys. Just use a strop.
Tried this failed miserably. Ended up investing in a professional knife sharpener and all my knives became the sharpest ever in under 2 mins. Problem solved
Wooden cutting boards, especially bamboo which has silicon in it, dull knives
Thats a dude!
Useless information and incorrect to boot
GO HOME NOW !
Unlike a sharpener, a honing steel is meant to straighten out the edge when it’s gotten raggedy.
It's taken me YEARS to be able to do that effectively. It was the only way i ever saw so i just kept practicing. Pretty good at it now, but yes, it's very easy to mess it up
Or you can judge angle by resistance from the blade to the steal. If it’s too easy it’s not effective if it’s to rough it removes too much. Plus the sound it makes is dead give away.
