Review: Great bit of kit - Great quality as expected, and keeps.a keen edge on my Wusthoff knives Review: GREAT VALUE - WORKS WELL - EFFICIENT RETAILER - A newer model is available but as a consequence the price of this unit was reduced by about 45%. Over the years I have purchased a variety of knife sharpeners, both manual and powered, but have never been totally happy with their effectiveness. This is the first 'sharpening steel' that I have had so cannot compare it with any other on the market but I can say that my kitchen knives are now as keen edged as I can ever remember. The technique for usage looks potentially dangerous but simple instructions and illustrations for safe sharpening were included and I have not encountered any problems. Experts also recommend the use of sharpening stones but by using a steel I have found that the knife edges are honed effectively and quickly to a condition that is more than acceptable for the home kitchen. ## Features - HONING ROD – Sharpen dull knives, scissors and cutters safely - PRECISION FORGED – Wüsthof's steel are forged from a single block of high carbon stainless steel and tempered to 58-degree HRC - STEEL SHARPENING – Includes a 10 inch honing rod - DURABLE – Cutlery is crafted to resist corrosion and dulling - CENTURIES OF TRADITION – Family owned for seven generations, Wüsthof was founded in solingen, Germany over 200 years ago, Wüsthof’s cutlery cutlery carries the solingen name, a designation reserved for products that meet the strictest quality standards ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00009WDT8 | | Best Sellers Rank | 488,027 in Home & Kitchen ( See Top 100 in Home & Kitchen ) 58 in Sharpening Steels | | Brand Name | Wüsthof | | Colour | Black | | Country Of Origin | Germany | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (2,150) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04002293447315 | | Grit Type | Light | | Included Components | SHARPENER | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 14L x 2W x 2H centimetres | | Item Type Name | Sharpening steel | | Item Weight | 0.28 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Wusthof | | Material Type | Steel | | UPC | 400229344730 885687778639 885454981941 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Wüsthof - **Colour:** Black - **Global Trade Identification Number:** 04002293447315 - **Grit type:** Light - **Item weight:** 0.28 Kilograms - **Manufacturer:** Wusthof - **Material:** Steel - **Number of items:** 1 - **Product dimensions:** 14L x 2W x 2H centimetres - **UPC:** 400229344730 885687778639 885454981941 ## Images ![10 Inch Sharpening Steel, Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/619cQZdUmHL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great bit of kit *by J***. on 26 January 2026* Great quality as expected, and keeps.a keen edge on my Wusthoff knives ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ GREAT VALUE - WORKS WELL - EFFICIENT RETAILER *by L***. on 5 December 2021* A newer model is available but as a consequence the price of this unit was reduced by about 45%.
