[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I thought this would just work, but it left scratches on my Birchwood knives. It requires skills to use this tool.. Now I can use this well, but this is definitely not for beginners.
Perfect addition to your Birchwood collection

This is the ultimate in edge maintenance. The tungsten rod puts the best edge on even the hardest of steels. The Birchwood handle is smoothe and being natural material each one is unique.

I recently purchased the Birchwood 8" chef's knife and added the Birchwood Sharpening Steel. This steel is tungsten which is an extremely hard metal which slightly sharpens as well as hones the blade. The Birchwood cutlery blades are made from SG2 steel, which means you really need a very hard Sharpening Steel in order to account for the hardness. This steel is perfect for Japanese steels, but can also be used for Western and German cutlery. This is now the only Sharpening Steel I use in the kitchen.

Designed to match the Birchwood collection of Cutlery, the steel is strong enough to provide a hard surface for optimum honing.

Miyabi knives are made from such hard steel that they need special honing steels to keep them performing their best in between sharpening. This steel compliments the Birchwood collection with it's gorgeous handle and details but will work well for all Miyabi knives.

If you love and have Miyabi Birchwood knives, then you also need to own this honing steel from the Birchwood collection. It will re-align your edge, once the knives have been used. This can be a daily event, IF you use the knives daily.

Tungsten carbide is extremely hard which is required when you're maintaining the edge on most Miyabi knives. It can hone and sharpen your knife which is key to keeping them scalpel sharp. Love the birchwood handle! It has such a great feel and is very comfortable.

The Birchwood blades are comprised of a superior hard steel. An appropriate sharpening steel would need to be as hard or harder than the Birchwood steel. This one meets the need. The tungsten steel is hard enough to bring back a razor edge. And in this case it also has a birchwood handle! Perfect!
