Had one a loong time.

To clean it I use steel wool (the one with soap in) and vinegar essence and wank it :)

Clean it witch dish soap a couple of times and dry it with paper towel

Ceramic steels run the gamut from $2 to over $50 and I have never run into a bad one. Occasionally one has a bump on it which you can remove by running against a bench stone.
The one Ken refers to is from Smoky Mountain knifeworks Item #RS1020 for $5. It is unique in having the built in guides. Shipping is $8, so I usually buy 6 or more and use them as gifts.

I have really enjoyed the ceramic steel, even more because it was a gift from Steve. Great idea using them as gifts, Steve.

ps for members who have a sharpening business-- these ceramic steels are an excellent way to built customer loyalty.
