Large Diamond Oval Honing Rod

A professional-grade diamond-coated honing rod from the Simón Collection, engineered for the demanding home cook, hunter, and professional chef. The oval profile covers more of the blade with every stroke, delivering faster edge realignment than round rods, while the industrial diamond coating quickly restores keen sharpness to even the hardest steels.

Key Features

• Industrial Diamond Coating: Aggressive diamond-abrasive surface hones and lightly sharpens carbon and stainless steels — including hard Japanese blades that traditional steel rods cannot touch.
• Oval Cross-Section: Broader contact patch than round rods realigns and refines the edge in fewer strokes.
• Full-Length Rod: Long working surface accommodates chef knives, brisket slicers, and hunting blades in a single pass.
• Ergonomic Soft-Grip Handle: Contoured non-slip handle stamped with the Simón Collection mark, with a full guard to protect the hand.
• Hanging Ring: Steel loop at the pommel for wall or magnetic-strip storage.

How to Use

Anchor the tip on a cutting board and draw the blade down and across the diamond surface at a 15–20° angle, alternating sides for 5–10 strokes. Use before each cooking session to maintain a keen, professional edge — or when your blade needs more bite than a ceramic rod can provide.

Compatibility

Suitable for all El Matador kitchen, hunting, and pocket knives, including high-carbon, stainless, and Damascus steel blades.
