Fabulous Honing Rod
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Beautiful steel. Made in Germany. 12 inches long is a generous length. Lovely and works superbly to hone my knives!

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.

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.
