[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Got this as a recommendation. So glad I did. The best sharpener I’ve every used. And sharpens after a few strokes.
Works as it should. Solid construction and craftsmanship. The oval shape makes it easy to use, even for someone not accustomed to honing their blades. Feels like it will hold up for many years of use.
Does the job well. My old steel needed replacing & this one has honed the edge on my knives again. It is sturdy and easy to use, I like the oval design. It just barely fits in my Zwilling knife block though. I must insert it at an angle to the square slot & a little over an inch of the steel stays exposed, but otherwise I am happy with my purchase.
I use this steel in conjunction with my stone sharpening routine. It helps me maintain my blade edge easily. The handle is comfortable to hold and I feel confident in my grip when I am using it.
I never knew what to do with this long metal rod, but I looked into it and found that it is used to hone knives between sharpenings so that the knife stays sharper, longer. This is a great honing steel because of the oval shape that gives one side a little bit of a flatter side to stabilize the steel.
