Yes, the diamond abrasive surface is effective on most steel types, including high-carbon and stainless steel. Its square profile and multiple grits make it versatile enough for everything from heavy-duty chef's knives to delicate paring knives.
Cleaning is straightforward; simply wash the rod with warm water and mild soap after use. Ensure it is completely dry before storing it to maintain the integrity of the diamond coating.
