I was noticing that my knives were getting dull more often than I thought they should be, so I looked into why this could be happening and I found out that if you use a honing steel, it straightens your blade from the normal wear and tear that it goes through, effectively keeping your knives sharper for a longer time. This honing steel in particular is great because it is made out of tungsten, which is a great way to sharpen blades.

Tungsten is a metal that offers some of the highest tensile strength. It is an excellent choice for sharpening harder steels that are often used in Japanese cutlery, because it can maintain its granular structure. this promises an appropriate surface for sharpening. It can be used on softer steels as well providing faster results but the possibility of over sharpening (bending over the edge) should be considered.
