The Honing Steel measures 8 inches and has a combination of grooved and smooth finishes. The grooved, coarse side is for regular maintenance, to realign the microscopic teeth on the blade's edge. The smooth, fine side is for finishing the edge with a few swipes after honing on the grooved side. The grooved side can be used weekly for average use, while the smooth side can be used daily. Knives that are regularly honed will retain their edges longer before needing to be sharpened.
The patented design emphasizes an ergonomic handle for an easy and comfortable grip. The handle is well-balanced and comfortable, complementing the signature single mosaic rivet.
The Honing Steel is designed to maintain and sharpen the edges of your blades between sharpenings.
