​The quality of Japanese steel used to make all of our knives means that for domestic use your knife will rarely need sharpening.

​Every knife's edge though will always benefit periodic honing.
 

At Chefslocker we have decided from the outset that we would not stock Japanese Whetstones - Simply because it is a specialised area in itself that I would not feel qualified enough to provide the very best products and techniques for use. A basic Whetstone can set you back just £20 and a very good quality one from an established Japanese brand around £150
- If you do intend on using a whetstone with your new knife I would stongly recommend a lot research and practise first with a less loved knife in your collection. There are some excellent resources online.

As an effective alternative we have chosen to recommend two well established and highly regarded brands from Japan....


​
​MAC Black Ceramic Honing Rod 10.5"

​Probably the best Honing Rod in the World!

​A Brilliant addition to the range and one of the very few honing rods we would recommend for use with our Japanese knives. 
Who knew a simple Honing Rod could be so advanced?..

Black Ceramic is harder than White Ceramic. Robust break resistent design. Tip protection by a polyproplene cap to cushion and absorb shocks. Blade scuff marks are nearly invisible.

Extremely hard at 81 HRC (Metal steels are typically 62 HRC, white ceramic 76 HRC) "HRC" being the Rockwell scale, measuring the hardness. Unique grooved ridges on two sides to sharpen more effectively Reinforced steel core with shock - absorbing latex resists breakage and chipping Rubber bumper protects rod tip Limited Lifetime replacement

Sharpening your own knife with a whetstone can take a bit of practise and if you are not completely comfortable we would recommend the professional service at 
Hiltons Mobile Sharpening (mail service available) 

​​Hiltons will sharpen almost any blade. It is sometimes impossible to sharpen a knife on a domestic sharpener and you may need a professional sharpener to re-hone your knife and get the sharpness back.  Knives can also get damaged and a professional sharpener will be able to remove a chip in a blade.
Hiltons Mobile Sharpening Services offers a full sharpening service for both domestic and commercial customers.  Using a whetsone wheel and leather polisher Chris uses a gradual process that has been honed over many years. The company offers an excellent service, customers comment that their knives are returned ‘like new’.
They are based in Nantwich and offer a mail order service.
Take a look at the website for more information.
