Messermeister Ceramic Honing Rod
Best maintenance tool for home cooks keeping blades razor sharp.
This ceramic rod strikes the perfect balance between realigning a dull edge and actually refining it with a fine 1200 grit. It is more aggressive than a standard steel hone, meaning you get a sharper blade faster, though you will need to be more careful not to over-work your steel.
