bought this steel to maintain my Zwilling Pro & Pro S series knives...have not had any reason yet to use...but I have had a henckels diamond steel that lasted me 30+ yrs...I'm sure this will pass on longer than me...👍😎
This honing steel is perfect for maintaining blade edge. It is differs from other honing steels because it also helps sharpen as you hone because of the diamond particles infused in the steel. Nice 12" length, easily accommodates longer knife blades, and can be used for both my German and Japanese knives.
