This won't replace your annual sharpening but it will keep your blades aligned and performing their best in between sharpening. Because the fine edge of a knife has such a sharp angle each time you use a knife the blade will become slightly out of alignment from the pressure. Learning to properly use a honing steel will put your blade back into it's straight alignment resulting in a smoother sharper feel to your cut.

Can't beat it for the money
This is a good basic honing steel. And it is always better to have a honing steel and use it than wait to get a better one. Plus this one is 10-inches long. For my money, that's the right length for home use. Made in Germany with good quality steel. Get it and put it use right away.

Every cook should have a handy honing steel as part of kitchen tools. Honing steel maintains edge of the knife to keep the edge aligned, resulting a sharper and safer knife. Honing knife lengthen its sharpness, it also cleans any rust, stains, and fix burr off your knife.

maintenance matters
Every Henckels knife needs a honing steel. When used regularly, it maintains the edge by removing small burrs (or microscopic bent teeth). Which equates to a sharp edge. Your knives will thank you. Such a good deal to maintain your investment.

Great tool to use for your knives
Great and easy way to keep your knives sharp longer. With the honing steel, you can keep the edge on your knives for much longer, and you won’t have to worry about sharpening your knives as much. Perfect for any German stainless steel knife.

Made In Germany
Keeping your knives sharp is the key to happiness in the kitchen. I use the steel about once a week to realign the blade and keep my knives very sharp. I found it's very helpful to watch the video on this website about honing your knives.

Can I use this sharpener on Zwilling J.A. Henckels Professional "S" knives?
We would recommend a Zwilling/Twin brand sharpener, rather than Henckels International, because it will be optimized to sharpen the special formula steel in your Zwilling knives.

Does the International Sharpening Steel really sharpen, or does it just hone the knife?
While our sharpening steels are mostly used for honing, they do remove a minute amount of metal to help refine the edge between use and sharpening. For more substantial results, we recommend using a stone or handheld sharpener.

Is there any special cleaning or maintenance that I should do for my sharpening steel?
The steel should require almost no maintenance. If it becomes dirty, it can be washed with soap and warm water. Otherwise, it should need little else. It will take many years for the steel to wear down (if ever) because it is harder than the steel used in our blades.
