## Description

Product Description Honing Steel for exceptional honing of your knives. Even high-quality knives. such as those made by WÜSTHOF gradually dull with use. To maintain their sharpness, it's important to use a honing steel regularly. Simply run both sides of the knife over the honing steel a few times to keep the blade sharp. For particularly blunt knives, we recommend using a Diamond Steel or a Ceramic Steel to restore their sharpness. desertcart.com A sharpening steel is an indispensable tool for keeping your knife collection in its best cutting shape. This 10-inch Wüsthof model is made for the job, with a sturdy non-slip handle and a magnetic steel that attracts metal fibers while you sharpen. The tool's square handle provides a good grip and allows easy revolution of the steel to spread the work around its surface. Fitted with a loop for hanging storage, the steel also stashes tidily in most knife blocks. --Emily Bedard

Review: Nice quality can't go wrong - Excellent quality. I'm a snob when it comes to kitchen tools and this works perfectly for keeping my blade straight and sharp in between sharpening with a stone. Can't go wrong
Review: High-Quality and Long-Lasting Steel - I didn't realize how badly my 25-year-old sharpening steel had dulled until I started using this one. There are many similar steels available at lower prices, but I find Wusthof products to be well worth their cost. I prefer to hold a steel upright with the tip on a cutting board and, holding the knife at a 15-degree angle, gently swipe it down each side of the steel several times. You can sense which side the blade has curled and swipe it more times on that side until in slides easily. Then hone the blade with a ceramic rod.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My Knives Are Calling To Me to Cut Something!!
*by M***P on October 27, 2010*

Wow - I read an article in Family Handyman about sharpening your own knives. They recommended starting out with the Wüsthof 2-Stage Knife Sharpener, then finishing with a sharpening steel. So... We've had knives that I've tried to sharpen before but didn't know how. Was a pain in the butt. So we kept getting new knives. Now we have a drawer full of them. I bought this steel and the 2-stage sharpener, pulled a dull knife out of the drawer, and about 5 minutes later the thing was SHARP! So I kept going, and now we have a drawer full of super sharp knives that are a PLEASURE to use. The secret here is to use the carbide part of the 2-stage sharpener for really dull knives. Run it through enough times 'till it "catches" on your fingernail when you slide it down (perpendicular, not parallel...). Then go to the ceramic part and slide the knife 10 or so times. Both are set up so the knife is held at the correct angle. Finally, pull out your steel, place it TIP DOWN on a cutting board. Position your knife so it's at about a 25 degree angle to the steel. Easy to do if you start at 90 degrees, then cut that in half to 45, then cut in half again. Then firmly but gently run the blade down the steel, pulling it toward you as you slide it downward. Do that a few times on each side, and you're guaranteed a sharp edge. The way to keep it sharp is to run it down the steel a few times each time YOU FINISH USING IT. Cutting with the knife will cause very fine deviations in the edge of the blade. Running it on the steel straightens the edge back up. i love things that make my life easier. This does so, and at a good price. And... I threw away two other sharpening steels after using the Wüsthof. A previous reviewer mentioned how quickly it works, and he's right!
