Will the honing steel get clog and how do u unclog it?

Yes, the knife blade will leave a dark streak as you draw it across the rod and "clog" it. This is the rod doing its job; removing the micro-bits of the blade that have "folded over" and caused it to become dull. The rod is easily cleaned using many methods, I prefer to use a desk-type pink pencil eraser.

Is this ceramic rod a full ceramic rod or ceramic coating on a steel?

Hi, thank you for reaching out to us. The rod is fully ceramic - guaranteed to last for years. The rod IS NOT steel rod coated with ceramic. Thank you for the comment, wdm4443, the reason magnet will stick to it is because of its shock absorbing mechanism which is incorporated into the ceramic rod to prevent it from shattering when dropped. Best, Jurgen from Green Elephant Kitchen

I don’t clean mine. I suppose you could give it a scrub with baking soda - the super mild abrasive might make it look nicer.

Will the ceramic honing rod fit into a 9/16" knife block slot?

I would think not as 9/16” = 0.5625 decimal and the description says the rod is 0.6” decimal. Hope this helps. I just hang mine near my knives.
