Description
When a knife’s edge becomes dull, you can reset the edge with a ceramic steel. The difference between a ceramic steel and honing steel, is that a ceramic steel will actually grind away material from the knife, allowing it to reset the edge. Ceramic sharpening steels are slightly less abrasive and will gently sharpen knives in comparison to a diamond sharpening steel resulting in a finer edge.
Although ceramic is harder than steel, it is brittle and will break if it is dropped.
