good ceramic rods
I have used other ceramic rods so this is not my first rodeo. With that said, these are made of a hard and very fine ceramic. They cut slowly but they do work. When I received these they had a slightly rough surface (think orange peel) which I smoothed out with a few passes of wet 1000gt sandpaper. I used the rod to dress up the edge on about a dozen knives made of an array of different steels. Again, slow cutting ceramic, but it produced a very keen edge. I mounted the rod in a drilled-out length of aluminum rod. I used epoxy to anchor about 1/4" of the rod to the aluminum. Then I covered the aluminum with a length of heat-shrink tube. Makes a nice handle. Ceramic can be fragile so I created a cover with a length of heat-shrink tube as well. Gives it a bit of protection. If you are looking for a hard fine ceramic steel these will do the trick.

Pocket friendly
I purchased the ceramic rod with the intent to carry wherever I went. The rod is a good grit helping maintain an edge on my pocket knives while away from my home. The ends of the rod are not sharp or uncomfortable to hold unto. I also find the length to make it easy to use yet compact enough to throw in a pocket. I feel that the value was fair to the price as well. I will be purchasing another to keep in my vehicle.

Good value for money

Good for Honing a Fine Edge
I've had two of these for five or six years now, and ordered a third one so I can have one available everywhere I have sharpening equipment. (I have a set of DMT pocket stones, a set of Eze-Lap pocket stones, and a DMT bench stone that I keep in different places.) I have found them to be very good for a final honing of an edge after sharpening with the diamond stones.
