12-inch Black/Stainless Steel Sharpening Steel by ZWILLING Professional S

The sharpening steel is an essential tool for home chefs, as it effectively realigns the edge of kitchen knives, removing any nicks or burrs. This honing steel plays a crucial role in resetting the edges of kitchen knives, ensuring they remain sharp and efficient during use on cutting surfaces. Commonly known as a sharpening steel or butcher steel, this tool does not actually sharpen the knife unless it is a diamond steel.

Constructed with a rod made of hard steel-alloy, a durable synthetic handle, and a steel finger guard, this steel is not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing. It is recommended to keep the steel within easy reach so that it can be used frequently, ideally after each knife use, to prevent blades from dulling and extend the time between professional sharpenings. The general rule is that the steel should be at least as long as the knife blade being honed, and this 12-inch steel rod is suitable for all household knives. Additionally, this steel comes with a lifetime warranty against any defects.
