    The chef's trick for keeping a clean edge between sharpenings. A few strokes along the diamond-coated rod are enough to realign and refresh the edge in seconds – right before you start cooking.

    Good to know

    • Rod: diamond-coated alloy steel, 9" (23 cm)
    • Overall length: 35 cm
    • Handle: riveted rosewood, stainless steel hand guard
    • Use: regular edge maintenance, ideally once a week
    • Compatible with: our Katachi, Chef OKAZA, Kuro Damas and Nishikigoi ranges

    Use

    1. Rest the tip of the rod on a stable surface and press down lightly so it cannot slip. 2. Place the heel of the blade at the top of the rod at an angle of around 20° and draw the blade from heel to tip without applying pressure. 3. Repeat 2 to 3 times per side, alternating. 4. Rinse and dry the knife after use.

    Care

    Wipe the rod with a dry cloth and clean it with a non-abrasive brush. Do not put in the dishwasher.

    Knives not included. Measured by hand: slight variations possible.

    Care

    • Whetstone: rinse with clean water after use and leave to dry flat, in the open air.
    • Wood (board, knife block): hand wash, dry immediately, never in the dishwasher. A thin coat of food-safe oil from time to time keeps the wood nourished.
    • Magnetic strip: a dry cloth is enough. Place the blade spine first, never edge first.
    • Sharpener: wipe the slots with a dry cloth after each use.

    Honing steel · diamond

    The ritual before every service

    The honing steel does not replace the stone: it maintains the edge between two sharpenings. A few passes on the diamond rod, just before cooking, and the blade regains its precision. It is the chefs' ritual, within reach.

    Maison Kireru diamond honing steel, rosewood handle

    A 23 cm diamond rod

    The diamond coating bites into the steel more effectively than a conventional steel: it realigns and revives the edge in a few passes, without forcing. A 23 cm rod, long enough for a chef's knife.

    Damascus knife on the diamond rod of the honing steel

    Made for hard Japanese steels

    Japanese steels are hard: a smooth steel glides over them with no effect. Diamond, on the other hand, grips and maintains the edge of your Damascus blades as well as your Western knives.

    Riveted rosewood handle and stainless steel guard

    Rosewood and a steel guard

    A riveted rosewood handle, comfortable in the hand, and a stainless steel guard separating the hand from the rod. The motion is stable and safe, from heel to tip.

    Two honing methods, from heel to tip

    Two methods, one result

    Steel resting on the worktop or held in the air: two techniques, an angle of about 20°, from heel to tip, alternating sides. Two to three passes are enough.
