The rod style configuration of the sharpener handles curved blades very nicely, also Tanto style or reverse curved blades which are (at least for me) a bit challenging to sharpen on a flat stone. Note: 1. This is not an appropriate tool to sharpen a very dull edge (in my opinion), and, 2. You do need to understand the basics of how to use a sharpener to match the knife's edge angle, (that is why I gave it 4 stars for ease of use) but if you do then it's very sweet. Just a few passes of the blade over the rod, with light pressure, and the edge is very noticeably sharper. If you have very dull blades, then you will most likely need another tool to get them into at least passable condition first. Think of this sharpener as the "fine" stage of a two-stage sharpening system. If, on the other hand, you like to keep your knives pretty well sharpened all/most of the time then this is probably all you need to get the job done quickly and easily. Yes, I know that it's not the equivalent of a sharpening system that goes up to 8000 grit, etc., but for everyday sharp knives this rod is pretty darn good. A nice bonus is that due to the light color of the rod It's easy to see that a tiny bit of steel residue from the knife edge remains on the rod (a dark line, or streak), showing that each pass is indeed having an effect on the blade. Allowing excessive buildup of this steel residue could, over a long time, lead to clogging of the pores on the surface of the rod, reducing sharpening effectiveness. I was very pleased to see that the steel residue washes off very easily with soap and water, or even with just water and a gentle wipe, leaving the rod in great shape, looking brand new, ready to continue sharpening the next blade, and the next... Two possible concerns: 1. I don't know how fragile this rod is, and whether it would survive dropping. Some of the reviews that mention a broken rod on arrival leave me concerned about that, but so far it has not been a problem, though I've handled it with care. 2. I would also not feel comfortable taking this outside or hiking/camping. It's too big and I would be concerned about breakage. Summary: This is my new favorite sharpener for use in the kitchen, not only for various kitchen knives but also for outdoors type knives. Very effective, quick, easy and pleasant to use. Review: Don't be a fool and buy it. Its great. - I am in my mid 60s been sharpening knives since my dad taught me as a child, I have had hundreds of sharpening equipment over the years. You cannot beat this ceramic rod for a finishing stone prior to strooping. Then its under 8 bucks. You must be crazy not to get one or two of these. Great product. ## Features - Wood handle - Bulk packed - Country of Origin : United States - Knife Sharpener ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B06XHJHFK7 | | Best Sellers Rank | #22,751 in Kitchen & Dining ( See Top 100 in Kitchen & Dining ) #91 in Knife Sharpeners | | Brand | Arkansas Sharpeners | | Brand Name | Arkansas Sharpeners | | Color | Brown | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 1,691 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00000701000460 | | Grit Type | Very Fine | | Included Components | {{product.name}} | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 7"L x 3"W x 4"H | | Item Weight | 1.6 ounces | | Manufacturer | Arkansas Sharpeners | | Manufacturer Part Number | AC46 | | Material | Ceramic | | Material Type | Ceramic | | Model Number | AC46 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 7"L x 3"W x 4"H | | UPC | 000701000460 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Arkansas Sharpeners - **Color:** Brown - **Grit Type:** Very Fine - **Item Weight:** 1.6 ounces - **Manufacturer:** Arkansas Sharpeners - **Material:** Ceramic - **Number of Items:** 1 - **Number of Packs:** 1 - **Product Dimensions:** 7"L x 3"W x 4"H - **Unit Count:** 1 Count ## Images ![Arkansas Sharpeners Ceramic Sharpening AC46 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51SGn2857pL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very nice ceramic rod sharpener *by T***0 on October 17, 2023* Very effective, affordable sharpener to MAINTAIN and touch up a good edge on various types of knives.

Its great. *by K***A on July 16, 2026* I am in my mid 60s been sharpening knives since my dad taught me as a child, I have had hundreds of sharpening equipment over the years. You cannot beat this ceramic rod for a finishing stone prior to strooping. Then its under 8 bucks. You must be crazy not to get one or two of these. Great product. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quick and efficient razor's edge - but fragile *by R***. on October 17, 2025* The actual "business end" of this Arkansas Sharpeners AC46 Ceramic 11.5" Sharpening Stick is awesome! My knife already had a decent edge*, so it didn't take much effort at all to put an amazingly sharp edge on my blade. [*I think the grit rating on this is 1300? At that fine of a grit, taking any amount of steel off of your blade is going to take forever. So I would *HIGHLY* recommend getting a fine round file to take off the bulk of the steel before putting the final edge on your blade with this sharpener.] The wood handle is "Meh?", and the sharpener doesn't come with any kind of storage sheath. I would expect the sharpening rod is very, very brittle and will crack, shatter, or snap easily, so I recommend some kind of protection scheme on your part. I used a piece of pipe insulation foam that's long enough for the entire sharpener - handle and all. I cut out a short length of insulation on an edge of the part that separates to go around the pipe, and then I used a really long twist-tie to cinch the foam onto the handle (a piece of string wrapped around a few times would work just as well). It's surprisingly secure and offers outstanding protection. I also wish the sharpening stone itself were a bit thicker. But as-is? As a knife sharpener? Oh, yeah! It'll get the job done quite nicely. ## Frequently Bought Together - Arkansas Sharpeners AC46 Ceramic 11.5" Sharpening Stick w/ 7" Rod & Wood Handle - Arkansas Sharpeners Ceramic Sharpening Stick with Brown Oak Handle, 5in Rod, Brown, AC47 - Arkansas Sharpeners Superstick Ceramic Rod, White --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/45614655-arkansas-sharpeners-ceramic-sharpening-ac46](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/45614655-arkansas-sharpeners-ceramic-sharpening-ac46) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-09-02*
