Why Use a Sharpening [Honing] Rod?
To understand the difference, we first need to know why and how knives get dull.
Its when the blade's sharp edge has been lost and/or is no longer aligned properly due to use.
Even if the blade is still sharp, just losing that alignment means that it won't cut through food properly.

So how do we get that sharp edge and alignment back? Here's where honing comes in:

Honing basically pushes the edge of the knife back to the center and straightens it.
It realigns your knife edge without shaving off much, if any, of the blade's material.
The the knife will seem sharper because the blade is now in the proper position.
Honing should be done often, some even hone before each use.

Sharpening on the other hand, is a process where bits of the blade is ground and shaved off to produce a new, sharp edge.
Sharpening can be done less frequently than honing - just a few times a year depending on how much use the knife gets.

Care Instructions
Wipe clean with a damp cloth after each sharpening session.
If washed with water, wipe the rod dry completely and hang in a cool place to air-dry.
Do not put the sharpener in the dishwasher
