A good honing steel is essential for keeping knives sharp and at the ready. This durable German-made version is crafted of high-carbon-steel and restores a knife's sharp edge by trueing it – that is, smoothing and realigning the blade's cutting edge to help it stay sharper longer.

• Wüsthof has introduced a new logo for their cutlery. Please note that the logo on your knives may differ slightly from images shown here.
• Maintains the razor-sharp edge of most knife blades between sharpenings; do not use on serrated or scalloped blades.
• Sturdy high-carbon steel resists stains and corrosion.
• Polypropylene handle is contoured for a comfortable grip.

Use & Care

Use

• Use with straight-edged knives only; not for use with serrated blades.
• Steel length should measure at least as long as the knife being honed.
• Hone knife before each use to maintain the sharpest edge.
• To properly hone the knife, hold it at a 20-degree angle and draw the blade across the steel. Never stroke the same side of blade more than once in succession.

Care

• Should metal filings accumulate on the steel, remove them with a damp cloth.
