The blue ceramic side of this sharpening rod is designed for coarse pre-sharpening of dull knives, while the white side provides fine finishing. With two rods in one, it is called the DUO Ceramic Rod.

IOXIO was founded in 2007 by Udo Rieser, who has worked with knives since the 1970s. His grandmother inspired him: she used to sharpen dull knives by drawing them over the unglazed rim on the underside of porcelain plates.

Ceramic is harder than steel and a natural product, the basis for the first ceramic sharpening rods. In 2007, IOXIO launched the world’s first DUO ceramic rod, combining two knife sharpeners in one. The blue ceramic side is suited for dull knives (F360 / J800), and the white side is ideal for fine sharpening (F1000 / J3000). "F" stands for FEPA (European grit), "J" for Japanese grit.

Because the rods are uncoated, they are extremely wear-resistant, allowing long-lasting use. For optimal performance, occasionally wash the rod with dish soap to remove carbon dust; otherwise, it may turn gray instead of staying blue or white.

At scharferLaden.de, we run a dedicated sharpening service for all types of knives, scissors, and resharpenable tools.
