This is a great sharpening steel for honing your knives and maintaining your edge. It is super important to have one of these on hand to ensure your knives stay sharp and ready to use.
It's important to maintain the edge of your knives to have the best and sharpest cutting experience each time you use them. A honing steel is the key to keeping your knives in alignment in between annual sharpening. This steel is oval instead of round providing more surface area for your knife edge and it is 62 on the hardness scale meaning even your hardest knives can be honed and realigned using this steel.
Great oval steel for your honing purposes. Better than most round steels and best for use in between using knives on a daily basis and the 1-2x/yr. sharpening process. This one has a great grip on it, so no slippage while using! Feels sturdy and you can hang on the wall for better access.
The steel will keep your knives in shape. It is made from a highly carbonized and hard chrome-plated steel ensure a good sharpening result. I like the grip of the handle, won't slip in your hands.
I use it weekly and my knives stay sharp. It's that simple. I watched a video on the website that was very helpful. It showed the angle and pressure and now I've perfected the technique.
This honing steel is fantastic if you have a knife that’s longer than eight or ten inches. The handle is very comfortable. It’s an easy way to keep your knife sharp and maintained
This is a great stable honing steel. Lot's of surface space to work with and has enough weight to feel substantial. The grip on the handle is not only handsome looking but feels secure in the hand.
