The Honing Steel
A fine grit honing steel realigns the edge with a lighter touch than a regular grit rod, producing a slightly more polished finish. Ideal for knives that have already been sharpened to a fine edge and need regular maintenance to stay there. Suits Western-style knives including chef's knives, santokus, carving knives, and utility knives. At 12 inches it has the length to handle any blade in your kitchen. Messermeister honing steels are made in Germany to the same standard as their knives.
Care & Maintenance
