Henckels 10-inch Sharpening Steel

Great product. Does what it's meant to do and zero flaws in the construction that i could point out. I've been using it almost daily since i purchased it and it's been probably a year or more now. It doesn't show any sign of wear. It's a bit more expensive than I would have liked but considering it does exactly what I want it to do It gets 5 stars. Read more

This 10" Sharpening Steel is great for sharpening 8" Chef's Knife, better than my old 8" steel. Quality and results are good. Bought from Amazon Warehouse; no quality issues whatsoever. Read more

It’s been extraordinarily hard to find something that has a tough more abrasion than a smooth polished hone, but not super aggressive grooves which remove too much steel like a sharpening steel. While this is marketed as a “sharpening steel”, if it’s that, it’s at least a fine grit one. I use whetstones to actually sharpen my knives, and a hone to realign the edge after/before each use. Doing so keeps my knives super sharp and maintained for months, sometimes over a year, between sharpening sessions on my stones. And that’s with me cooking 4-5 times each week. The handle is very comfortable and contoured without sharp angles. The rod itself is hefty and thick gauge. I get more utility out of the 10” since my longest knife is 8”, plus it’s easier to store and travel with vs a longer 12” steel. This is a great honing rod, made in Germany. I imagine this will last me decades. Read more

This unit replaces the original Steele from Chicago Cutlery. It does a good job of “sharpening” my knives but the real test involves durability, how long before the ribs wear it. Read more

Received it on time as promised. Use it all the time to keep my kitchen knives extremely sharp at all times. I do have very fine knives, Japanese and German . When used properly it will not harm your knives, it really do not remove any material from your knives but align the edges of the knives back into proper place to maintain the proper edge. Read more

It's made in Germany. It's a quality product, and I got it at a good prize ( $27.99). This will probably last me the rest of my life. Read more
