How to Use the Global Diamond Honing Rod
Hold the rod vertically with the tip planted on a towel or board. Match your knife's edge angle (roughly 10–15° for Global knives) and draw the blade from heel to tip across the rod, alternating sides with light strokes. Five to eight strokes per side restore a working edge between full sharpenings.
Sharpening Angle and Edge Maintenance
The diamond-particle coating micro-hones as it realigns, removing micro-burrs and giving a finer edge than traditional smooth steels. Global's ~15° double-bevel edges respond especially well.

Diamond Rod Knife Maintenance Tips
Hone weekly or before heavy prep sessions; use light pressure — the diamond coating does the cutting. Wipe the rod clean after each use.

Comparisons and Alternatives
Ceramic rods polish but cut slowly; traditional steels only realign. The G-38/B's diamond coating does both, making it the better-value single tool for edge care.
