Difference between carbide and ceramic knife sharpener.
Why does this matter.
The difference between the two however is that aside from the color the quadsharp is blue and the c sharp is orange the quadsharp has carbide inserts and the c sharp has ceramic.
Not back and forth.
You simply want to use the ceramic only.
Only go the same direction with the blade.
If it wont sharpen with the ceramic.
Then use the carbide first to repair recut the blade.
They will both work ceramic might give you a finer edge.
Ceramic diamond rods.
Then use the ceramic for final sharpen.
It has been my experience that a razor sharp knife get dull quicker one sharpened at a little less of an angle stays sharpe.
Many of these rods are made out of alumina ceramic.
Well now hang on there.
If the blade is not damaged.
Sharpening rods are two rods set in a base at a specific angle 30 degrees for the ones i use.
Well how you use your knife and maybe even how you feel about your knife will determine which one is a better fit.
