10 Inch Sharpening Steel, Black

Great quality as expected, and keeps.a keen edge on my Wusthoff knives

A newer model is available but as a consequence the price of this unit was reduced by about 45%. Over the years I have purchased a variety of knife sharpeners, both manual and powered, but have never been totally happy with their effectiveness. This is the first 'sharpening steel' that I have had so cannot compare it with any other on the market but I can say that my kitchen knives are now as keen edged as I can ever remember. The technique for usage looks potentially dangerous but simple instructions and illustrations for safe sharpening were included and I have not encountered any problems. Experts also recommend the use of sharpening stones but by using a steel I have found that the knife edges are honed effectively and quickly to a condition that is more than acceptable for the home kitchen.

Great sharpener, works very well. Could perhaps have a little guard for the hand

This tool has transformed my kitchen experience. It's incredibly easy to use and has brought new life to my dull knives. With just a few strokes, my blades are back to their razor-sharp glory. The quality of the Wüsthof brand is evident in every aspect of this sharpening steel - from the comfortable handle to the durable construction. It's become an indispensable part of my cooking routine, ensuring precision and efficiency. If you want to maintain the longevity and performance of your knives, I wholeheartedly recommend the Wüsthof 10 Inch Sharpening Steel. It's a game-changer!

First time I've used a sharpening steel and decided to give it a go. I've tried various sharpening stones and pull through type ones as well. This steel feels solid and well made and a great length for my 20cm cooks knife. After watching a few videos I was good to go; 5 minutes later and I had a knife as sharp/honed as it was when first out the box. This Works well on Henckels Four Star knives as well as cheaper knives I had. I wished I had bought a sharpening steel years ago. As to the concept of sharpening, honing and stropping - I may know about that one day. Until that day I will just say my knives can now glide through sheets of paper easily. I'll probably not eat the paper I've proven my knives sharpness on but it felt good at the time.

This works really well (if you use it properly). You need to start with reasonably sharp knives and this makes them really sharp. It is technically a honer and not a sharpener, but the end result is that a fairly sharp knife becomes really sharp. I usually use this first and then use a strop immediately afterwards to give it that razor sharp finish. This is a good strop that comes with buffing paste https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B078XB6BWX/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I've been using this sharpener for over two years now, and I've bought this as a present as well. It's got a good weight to it which is perfect for sharpening your knife, the handle is solid and will protect your hand if you slip with the blade. It seems to be good quality and has lasted really well.

This could be due to user error but after weeks of using this I really don’t see any difference in the sharpness of my knife. Might be because I have cheap knives though or that they’re just too old ...

Affidabile, semplice, il vecchio caro acciaino. Mo ceramica, no polvere di diamanti, solo il classico acciaino per il filo dei miei coltelli. E poi l’azienda è una garanzia!

I didn't realize how badly my 25-year-old sharpening steel had dulled until I started using this one. There are many similar steels available at lower prices, but I find Wusthof products to be well worth their cost. I prefer to hold a steel upright with the tip on a cutting board and, holding the knife at a 15-degree angle, gently swipe it down each side of the steel several times. You can sense which side the blade has curled and swipe it more times on that side until in slides easily. Then hone the blade with a ceramic rod.

Correct weight and sits well in your hand when using it.
