The Nesmuk sharpening rod is the right tool for quickly and effectively resharpening dull knives. Since every knife becomes dull sooner or later, depending on the quality of the steel, it must be sharpened at some point. The sharpness of Nesmuk knives can be maintained for a very long time with the help of the Nesmuk strop. However, even the most resistant blades can become so dull due to hard contact, sideways sliding over cutting pads or too long maintenance intervals that a little more material has to be removed from the cutting edge in order to get the blade sharp again. We developed the Nesmuk sharpening rod for precisely this purpose. In most cases, conventional sharpening rods have relatively coarse abrasive particles that roughen the surface of the cutting edge too much during sharpening.
