ZWILLING 12-inch Sharpening Steel

High quality! The perfect size with a great contact and edge. This has an excellent handle for effortless strokes. The swivel hook is a very useful feature. A great upgrade to the one included in the Professional S set.

This is a great product. Works really well and lasts for a long time. Worth it.

Easy to use and keep the blades in tune. The Zeilling knife block includes a nice slot to store it in.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First professional knife and I’m never looking back!

Very nice instrument for my beautiful new Zwilling Henckells knives. I'm new with this tool, followed the videos for proper use. Had always used sharpening stones before. Now I know this is necessary for keeping the blade in line, and in tune. I am enjoying using it, and my knives are in great shape. I can always trust the Zwilling name. thanks.

I wish I knew this kind of device existed before! It does a great job sharpening my knives. The video on the website is very helpful to get started. The description of tue item mentioned its oval shape. Well it’s not. Don’t be too surprised!

This 12 inch rod, is perfect for honing and easily removes niches and scratches on the blade. The oval design, allows for greater surface area, achieving excellent results with far fewer strokes. This is a must for anyone serious about keeping their knives sharp and ready to use. Haven't had to have my knives sharpened in almost a year, since learning how to properly use this steel. Worth the effort, and plenty of on line tutorial videos available.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to hold, just purchased and can’t wait to use

We just replaced a honing steel that we had had for 25 plus years and was worn smooth...happy with this one

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to use and got my knifes sharp in no time. Love the quality of the steeel.

I use this steel in concert with sharpening to keep my blade straight and sharp.Its easy to use and not too heavy.

Bit longer than standard keeps blade on longer. Hasp to prevent "mishaps".

Very good 10-inch steel. I prefer longer steels; I hate running out of run with each stroke. Well made in Germany with premium steel created to hold up to daily use over years.

A honing steel when used properly can help to maintain the cutting edge of your knives, keeping them more efficient and safer to use. The 12" steel is longer providing a more effective surface area.

This sharpening steel has enough heft to help hone your knives easily. If they are too light , you cant seem to get enough pressure to make a difference on the blade. The handle is comfortable and makes it simple to get the correct angle, the correct pressure and the correct motion to properly maintain the edge on your knives.

I always saw this piece of equipment and never knew what it was for and once I learned more about it, I don't know what I did without it! A honing steel is meant to be used to make sure that your blade stays straight so that it stays sharper longer. I read that it is supposed to be used every time you use the knife, but I found that if I do it once a week (usually on Sunday's when I prep my meals for the week), my knives stay sharp for a very long time. I also love this particular honing steel because the handle gives me the perfect angle to hold the knife every time!

This sharpening steel is great to maintain the edge of your knife. It works wonders and will get your knives back to the original sharpness.
