KRAMER by ZWILLING 12-inch Double Cut Honing Steel

Great upgrade to my standard honing steel with the 2 sides offered for further knife maintenance. I purchased the kramer chef knife and wanted to match it with this for upkeep and it maintains it very well between sharpenings. Also use it for my other knives, and it fits perfect in my knife bag without the handle loop others have

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What a tool - the smooth and grooved steel provides such a valuable pair for honing your blades and getting the edge beautifully straight. The handle is very functional and the 12" of steel gives you the appropriate runway for consistent honing. Incredibly pleased with this purchase.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It keeps my knives sharp. I like that it was included

I absolutely love this honing rod. I like the fact that it has two textures. Honing is easily performed with this model.

This should come with a box for this price, not loosely put in a generic cardboard box wrapped in tissue paper

Outstanding quality honing steel. Thanks for expediting it out in a timely fashion. I realize it's been difficult with the pandemic. Thanks again guys.

Well-constructed dual texture honing rod is gentle on blades and easy to use.

new to this but seems to work well. had older dull knives and after a few runs, sharp again.

This is a great double cut sharpening rod that will help maintain the edge of your knife! Great to do in between sharpenings.

Good Quality product to compliment my other Zwilling Knives

This is a very long steel, much needed if you are honing long knives. It also have two both coarse and fine faces on the steel to sharpen and hone as the dullness of your blades dictate. It's a very good honing rod; the plastic handle is a high grade custom material that holds up to years of use and abuse.

I never knew how long I could go between knife sharpenings once I started using the honing steel on a regular basis. I also find that it is much easier to use my knives because they are so sharp.

Twelve inches long and easy to use. Kramer products are always as good as promised.

This Bob Kramer honing steel works fantastic. It is a great tool and is a great purchase!

This is the perfect tool to maintain your knives on a regular basis. This is what keeps that nice, sharp edge. Honing is simply realigning the blade, unlike sharpening that takes metal off of your knife. I generally use this once every week or two, depending on what I've been cutting. The 12" steel can handle any size blade including a big 10" chef knife.

If you have knives you should have a honing steel. Honing is not the same as sharpening but it is an important part of getting the best out of your knives on a regular basis. Imagine the fine edge of a knife after cutting through foods day in and day out, before it becomes dull that very sharp edge will become "bent" out of alignment. Using a honing steel will return your blade to it's proper alignment giving you the perfect fine edge use after use.

One tool that everyone should have to keep those knives their best! Easy grip plastic handle that is easy to hold onto while honing all your best knives!

This is a really stable honing steel. It's easy to use and keeps your knives sharp.

Very good quality honing steel...helps keep knives sharp and easy to use.

This 12" Kramer double cut honing should be used regularly in between sharpening. This 12" double cut honing steel a maintenance tool to align the blade’s edge and says sharpened to it's angle. Its purpose is to align the blade’s edge and increase cutting efficiency. It is also recommended purchasing the super-eraser to clean any metal residue buildup.
