Afilador Ceramic Rod ac72

Ceramic sharpening rod for sharpening and maintaining your cutting tools. Dimensions: Length: 115 mm. Diameter: 0.92 cm. Ceramic has become a favorite material for both professionals and enthusiasts, surpassing traditional natural or oil stones in terms of efficiency and cleanliness.

Properties of the Sharpening Ceramic

Extreme Hardness: On the Mohs scale, technical ceramic is close to diamond. This allows it to sharpen even the most modern and hardest steels (powder metallurgical or high-end steels).

Uniform Grain Structure: As a synthetic product, the grain size is constant throughout the piece. There are no streaks or impurities, guaranteeing a homogeneous edge finish.

Wear Resistance: Unlike water stones, ceramic does not wear down or deform easily. It maintains its flatness for much longer.

Consistent Abrasiveness: The edges of the ceramic crystals remain sharp even as the surface is used, allowing for fast and clean metal cutting.

Key Advantages

Dry Sharpening: Most ceramic stones and rods do not require oil or water to operate. This makes them ideal for quick touch-ups in the kitchen or workshop without making a mess of your work surface.

Minimal Maintenance: They do not need to be reground frequently. Furthermore, when the surface becomes saturated with metal particles (appearing grayish), simply washing them with a little soap and water and an abrasive scouring pad will restore them to like-new condition.

Extreme Durability: A well-maintained ceramic stone or honing rod can last a lifetime. They do not rust, rot, or are affected by moisture or chemicals.

Working Speed

Due to their hardness, the metal removal process is very efficient. You achieve a functional edge in much less time than with traditional methods.
