Every time a knife is used, the fine edge folds microscopically to one side. A few strokes on a honing steel before each use brings that edge back into alignment, maintaining sharpness between proper sharpenings. The regular grit is the most versatile option - suitable for most Western-style knives including chef's knives, santokus, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCare \u0026amp; Maintenance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWipe clean with a damp cloth after use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDry immediately\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStore on a magnetic strip or in a knife block\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo not use on Japanese knives with hardness above 60 HRC - use a ceramic rod instead\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Hale Imports","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52272069017891,"sku":"5100-12R","price":89.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0261\/1819\/3230\/products\/image_b4b033e7-ec0d-4b27-a355-94dbe320ac95.jpg?v=1615167541","url":"https:\/\/chefandaknife.com.au\/products\/messermeister-regular-grit-honing-steel-12-inch","provider":"Chef \u0026 a knife","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
