GLOBAL G-25 YOSHIKIN CERAMIC SHARPENING STEEL, JAPAN

Description

Got this ceramic sharpening steel from Japan – it’s a Global G-25 Yoshibin model, and it’s been used a bit but still in great shape. I’ve been using it regularly to keep my knives sharp, and it’s definitely better than regular steel for getting that fine, clean edge. Works the same way as traditional steels, but because it’s made from ceramic, it’s tougher and gives a smoother finish, especially on high-end knives. I’ve actually changed the rod a couple of times before, so it’s been a real workhorse. The rod’s about 24cm long – fits nicely in my knife block. I’m moving to Holywell-green, Calderdale, so it’s coming out of my place there. It’s only £45, but I’m just passing it along since I’ve got a new one I’m using now.
