[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought with 8 inch chef knife. Great for straightening edge when cutting. Highly recommend use to avoid over sharpening.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This knife sharpener is miles above a standard steel, it’s not a challenge to sharpen a knife, and it takes a fraction of the work. I love it so much I bought one as a gift.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m a Huge fan of Henckels and to add to my collection this sharpening steel is a wonderful collection and really gets my blades back to its sharpen state.
This diamond honing steel makes all the difference in the world. The diamond is so hard that it slightly sharpens as you hone. The flat design also helps achieve perfect edge maintenance by giving a greater surface area to work with. I also prefer having the 10" length for that reason as well. Very pleased with how this honing steel performs.
I use this in concert with my sharpening routine to align my blade edge. It is easy to use, lightweight and has a comfortable handle that feels secure in my hand.
This honing steel is different than most because its rod is thicker, which gives it more stability when using it to hone. By using this, I am able to lengthen the time between sharpenings and I love that I always have a sharp knife to use.
The flatness hits more of the knife's edge to hasten hard work. Has lasted over a year already so diamond encrusted element doesn't quickly disappear. Recommend.
