The 8-inch Honing Steel has both smooth and grooved sides for different purposes. The grooved side helps maintain the blade’s edge by realigning microscopic teeth on a regular basis, while the smooth side finishes the edge with a few swipes. For typical use, the grooved side should be used weekly and the smooth side daily. Honing knives regularly will extend the time between sharpenings.
The ergonomic handle with a patented design ensures a comfortable and easy grip. The handle is well balanced and pairs nicely with the single mosaic rivet.
This tool is designed to maintain and hone blade edges in between sharpenings.
