Great for prolonging knife sharpness
on May 13, 2020
Posted by: kammya108
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!
I would recommend this to a friend!

A must!
on June 2, 2020
Posted by: Grandma K
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.

Must Have

Frequency of use:Daily
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 much needed day-to-day maintenance tool to keep your knives pristine, until professional sharpening is actually required. Better safe than sorry if you don’t know how to use one of these honing steels; seek professional guidance or surf the web for: Bob Kramer Honing your knife, and practice makes perfect .

Traditional Edge Maintenance
on April 15, 2020
Posted by: bourbonbb
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 review was collected as part of a promotion.] Good Company so I've heard. Trying them out to see how they are. Also wanted to see if I get the free BALLARINI knife set for this review.

Do your knives a favor
on April 2, 2020

If you have knives, then you should have a honing steel. It's a necessary tool to maintain the edge of your knives. Use it often. It does not necessarily take steel off and sharpen, but it actually keeps the microscopic teeth on the edge straight. Straight teeth=a sharp knife. It's a priceless tool.

Lighter weight than my last chef's knife but I adapted quickly. Very slender blade and so sharp. I bought the recommended tool for keeping the edge. Glad I treated myself.
