Editorial Review:
A good cook is nothing without sharpened knives. Use this 10-in. Sharpening steel before cutting, chopping and slicing and your knives will perform at their best. The high-carbon construction and sturdy handle make it easy to use. Simply hold knives at a 45-degree angle and pull across in a swift motion a dozen or so times, alternating sides, and in seconds you'll be ready for action. Features a loop on the handle for hanging. Has it's own slot in most Wusthof knife blocks.
A sharpening steel is an indispensable tool for keeping your knife collection in its best cutting shape. This 10-inch Wüsthof model is made for the job, with a sturdy non-slip handle and a magnetic steel that attracts metal fibers while you sharpen. The tool's square handle provides a good grip and allows easy revolution of the steel to spread the work around its surface. Fitted with a loop for hanging storage, the steel also stashes tidily in most knife blocks. --Emily Bedard

Not only does it sharpen my knife to a fine razor type edge with just a few swipes on each side, it also helped correct some of my other knife edges that had been damaged from not sharpening them properly over the years.

Great addition:
The sharpening steel has been a great addition to our Wustof collection, and it fits perfectly in a Christmas stocking!
Not all steels are the same!:
A lot of people assume that all sharpening steels are the same. That is not true. I've owned this sharpening steel for about 6 years. It replaced a steel I had been using for about 20 years. I usually hone my knives between every use. With my previous steel, it typically took 4-10 swipes to restore a razor edge, with occasional resharpening using an alumina (carborundum) stone; with this steel, I can get the same razor edge in 1-2 swipes, and never need to use the stone. This is consistent with... more info
