Every day use will not only dull blades but they will also get out of straight edge alignment. After a little practice learning to use a sharpening steel will be one of the best things you've ever done because you will realize how simple it is to keep your knives their sharpest and their performance will impress you every time. This steel is great because it is hard enough to sharpen my Japanese knives as well as my German knives.

A honing steel will help keep your knife cutting well between sharpenings. This will do the job but if you want to be really impressed, try the ceramic or even better the tungsten steel rods, worth the upgrade in price to keep your Japanese knife in tip top shape.

Great tool for your Miyabi knives

This is a great tool for helping maintain the edge and sharpness on your Japanese knives. Since this steel is for Miyabi Birchwood knives, the steel will really get a nice edge back on your knives keeping the sharper longer.

Maintain your Miyabis

The key to maintaining the edge on the Miyabi knives, is using a honing steel that is as hard or harder than the steel of the Miyabi blades. The Rockwell hardness of the steel is 65 so it will certainly be appropriate for maintaining your investments. There are tutorials online to help you master the technique.

Excellent tool for sharpening and honing your knives. Once you master the technique, you will use this all the time. It's worth putting in the time to learn how to use this steel properly. This one is good for Asian and Western knives.
