## Description

Product Description PRODUCT DESCRIPTION UPC Code: 230173, dimension:18.75x4.5x1.75 inches desertcart.COM Although steels often are touted as sharpening tools, few actually sharpen knife blades but do perform the vital task of realigning, or "resetting," edges, which bend when contacting a cutting surface or other hard object. Because this tool's surface contains diamond dust, it's hard enough to somewhat sharpen a blade. While using this steel won't replace a professional sharpening job, which proceeds from coarse grinding to ever-finer grinding at tightly controlled angles, it will lengthen intervals between sharpenings. This steel will also perform better than a steel without diamond dust because it accomplishes the final task of a professional sharpening, which is polishing the edge to a fine point while realigning the edge. The rule is that a steel should be at least as long as the knife blade being drawn across it, and this steel's 12-inch rod handles all household knives. The steel carries a lifetime warranty against defects. --Fred Brack desertcart.com Although steels often are touted as sharpening tools, few actually sharpen knife blades but do perform the vital task of realigning, or "resetting," edges, which bend when contacting a cutting surface or other hard object.

Review: Durable hone - Works great as a hone. Seems to be holding up after many months. I sharpen a LOT of knives.
Review: The best sharpener I have - I have electric sharpener, Japanese stone sharpener, and the usual small sharpener. None of them work like this one. I use it on my expensive knives once a month and then just use honing steel before each use. My knives never were this sharp and I don’t have to overthink the angle. Love it

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Durable hone
*by C***G on July 29, 2025*

Works great as a hone. Seems to be holding up after many months. I sharpen a LOT of knives.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best sharpener I have
*by L***N on January 14, 2025*

I have electric sharpener, Japanese stone sharpener, and the usual small sharpener. None of them work like this one. I use it on my expensive knives once a month and then just use honing steel before each use. My knives never were this sharp and I don’t have to overthink the angle. Love it

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The REAL Deal especially for the price!
*by G***S on February 5, 2025*

Following an advisory by an actual chef, this is the only sharpener any serious user should have! The guy teaching the use of this sharpener was actually using one by a different maker, but this one is the same at 1/3 the price! Sharpen and enjoy the immediate, amazing results!
