Magnetized 10 Professional Honing Steel for Chefs

Product Description

A sharper knife is actually safer, despite what may seem counterintuitive! When a knife blade is dull, it leads to bad cutting habits. Applying extra hand pressure and unnecessary movements can result in fingers being in dangerous positions. Therefore, it is crucial to maintain sharp blades.

So, how can this be achieved?

The first step is understanding the distinction between honing and sharpening a knife blade.

Honing Rods vs. Knife Sharpeners

Knife Sharpeners physically remove metal from the blade to sharpen it. Due to the metal removal process, most home cooks should not sharpen their knives more than two or three times annually. Surprisingly, what is often perceived as needing sharpening is actually just in need of honing. Honing Rods, on the other hand, realign the knife edge without removing excessive blade material. This regular maintenance process is essential.

During knife use, microscopic folds are inadvertently created, leading to the appearance of a dull blade. This misalignment does not require sharpening but rather honing. Although honing makes the knife seem sharper, it is necessary to hone the blade regularly. Many chefs hone their knives before each use or even multiple times during extensive use.

Noble Home & Chef’s honing rods are crafted from high-quality, hardened carbon steel, with every material carefully selected. The rods feature no cheap plastic handles or soft steel, ensuring longevity and quality. Additionally, the chromium plating process prevents rust and corrosion.

How to Use Your Honing Rod

Honing the knife at the correct angle is crucial for maintaining its effectiveness. A 15-20 degree angle is recommended, as deviating from this angle reduces the blade's efficiency.
