The STEELPORT 12” Oval Ceramic Honing Rod is an ideal tool for anyone who owns a kitchen knife. It’s thoughtfully designed for home and professional chefs alike who care about keeping their knives in peak performance.

Developed in response to the limited options in the market for a large, comfortable honing rod that is versatile and durable enough to hone any blade, the STEELPORT 12” Oval Ceramic Honing Rod sets itself apart in many ways:

  • Versatile Ceramic: Exceptionally hard ceramic, providing an ideal surface and grit for realigning the microscopic edges of any kitchen knife, regardless of their steel hardness.
  • Efficient Oval Shape: Allows more contact with the blade for more consistent honing action. The only oval ceramic honing rod available.
  • Unique Contoured Wood Handle: An ergonomic grip for comfortable regular use, plus a safety guard, all made from US-sourced walnut.
  • Larger 12” Length: Allows for smooth full strokes, ideal for knives of all sizes.
  • Steel Core: Added durability and better balance.
  • Made-in-USA: Each STEELPORT Honing Rod is handcrafted in our factory in Portland, Oregon.

Manufacturing & Materials

The STEELPORT 12” Oval Ceramic Honing Rod is handcrafted in Portland, Oregon, using all US-sourced materials. The rod is made from exceptionally hard ceramic formulated to hone any blade—regardless of steel hardness—while maintaining an ideal level of abrasion.

A reinforced internal steel core provides stability and resilience, ensuring long-term durability. The handle is crafted from American walnut, hand-contoured for ergonomic comfort and fitted with a built-in safety guard for secure use. Together, these elements deliver a honing tool that reflects STEELPORT’s commitment to craftsmanship and uncompromising quality.

Dimensions

Rod Length: 12 inches. Overall Length: Approximately 17 inches. Rod Shape: Oval (exclusive to STEELPORT). Handle: Contoured walnut with safety guard

Care

To maintain performance, wipe the ceramic rod clean after each use with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove metal particles. Avoid dropping or striking the rod against hard surfaces, as ceramic can chip if handled roughly.

Store in a knife block, drawer insert, or hang by the handle loop to protect it from impact.
