Must Have

Recently took a knife skills class and learned the importance of honing a knife! Honing maintains the edge by realigning the invisible burrs on the edge of the blade. Many times I thought my knives were dull, but thy just needed honing.
Bought this honing steel to maintain the edge of my German knives upon the instructors recommendation. Very easy to use. The handle has a comfortable grip, and the steel is just the right height to get the job done and not too intimidating.
First thing I did when I got it was the hone all my dull knives. Now they are sharp.

A must!

Purchased this sharpening steel to bring the life back to my cutlery. Just started using after watching and wondering what it actually does.
Watched numerous videos and learned the sharpener basically brings the edge back to the center and straightens it. It corrects the edge without shaving much off. I'm finding it doesn't really sharpen the knife, but if done properly, the knife seems sharper because it's in the correct position.
Still practicing my form, but this steel is comfortable, easy to hold, and just the right length for a beginner like me. Didn't realize what I've been missing all these years.

How hard is this steel?

I notice every review gives a mini tutorial of how to use the steel. I know how to use it but it's not clear what knives it can and can't handle. I'm assuming it can't handle a myabi knife but what about the Santoku in the 125 dollar range? What's the cut off in the Hinckle collection?

This good basic honing steel is the second most important cutting tool in your kitchen. Good knives need to be maintained. Regular honing and sharpening makes cutting easier and safer, and extends the life the knife. Hone every time you pull your knife out and you will be pleased with the results.

Great for prolonging knife sharpness

I never knew that the long pole shaped thing that comes in a knife block is there to make the blade of my knives stay sharper longer! This honing steel was is great because the points of the plastic handle are made so that you hold your knife at the correct angle to make sure you are holding it correctly. If you never have used one, give this one a try!
