This is what keeps your blades in shape. I like that I can use the width of the handle as an angle guideline for the knives to be honed. Easy to use too.
One of these is a must to keep the edge and angle of your knives in tip top shape. Each time you use your knives the fine edge bends and goes out of alignment ever so slightly. In between uses just hone your blade with a sharpening steel and you won't believe the difference! This keeps your knife performing its best between annual sharpening.
A must-have for every kitchen, a honing steel is for every day use! It will keep the sharpest blades sharp. This, along with sharpening 1-2x/year will make sure your good knives perform at their best! At this price, no reason not to own one!
This is how you keep your knives sharp, plain and simple. Every knife will dull over time because they blade ever so slightly bends each time you use it. This honing steel will realign the blade to cut almost like new. It's simple to use; it's about setting your edge angle (15 degree), apply a lot of pressure (you're trying to move metal) and equal passes on both sides of your knife. (check out the website for a video demonstration.) All it takes is a little practice!
This is a must-have accessory in your kitchen if you want your knives to stay sharper longer. Super easy to use if you feel uncomfortable you can look up YouTube videos like I did.
WIth frequent use the teeth on the edge of the blade become misaligned. Easily renew the edge by honing with this sharpening steel. Ideal for most all German knives.
