This sharpening steel is the perfect tool for maintaining the razor sharp edge of all your steel kitchen knives. The steel rod has a length of 25 centimeters, which means that you can use it to sharpen knives with a maximum blade length of 25cm.

One of the most main features of this sharpening steel is its bi-material handle. It is made of an elastomer part which provides the handle with a non-slip surface. The other material used in the handle is a very resistant plastic that ensures strength and durability. The red colour of the handle will also add a vivid touch to your kitchen’s décor.

For some, especially for home or amateur cooks, using a sharpening steel might seem as a big challenge. However, in reality, with just a bit of practice, using a sharpening steel can be very easy and efficient. When using a sharpening steel, the results are almost immediate! 

How to use the sharpening steel:

The way shown in the pictures is just one of several different ways in which you can use the sharpening steel. If that way seems complicated, you can change and hold the steel vertically in one hand while resting the end of the rod on a secure surface. Then, you have to adjust the angle the blade of the knife and pass the edge of the blade along the steel in continuous “sweeping” repetitions. The fact that the tip of the rod rests on a flat surface will give you more security.
