Wüsthof 9 Honing Steel

WÜSTHOF HONING ROD – Sharpen dull knives, scissors and cutters safely. Thoughtfully crafted and meticulously designed in Germany, manufactured in China, this particular Wüsthof steel features a nine-inch rod, grooved for ease of use, which is made of magnetic steel that attracts metal fibers during the sharpening process (thus preventing them from flying all over the kitchen workspace). The black composite handle provides a good grip and features a reasonable bolster to help prevent the knife blade from hitting the knuckles. While this model does not have a hanging loop, the steel should fit handily into a provided slot in most wooden storage blocks.

PRECISION FORGED – WÜSTHOF's Steel are forged from a single block of High Carbon Stainless Steel and tempered to 58-degree HRC. Many chefs prefer sharpening steel to a slotted sharpener or whetstone for keeping their knife collection in top cutting shape. The sharpening steel is made in Solingen, Germany, the home of Wüsthof cutlery since 1814, and is covered by a lifetime warranty.

WÜSTHOF STEEL SHARPENING – Includes a 9" honing rod. Grooved rod improves ease of sharpening, and the magnetic steel rod attracts loose metal fibers during sharpening, preventing them from flying all over the kitchen workspace. The slip-resistant, textured handle with protective bolster provides a good grip and helps prevent the knife blade from hitting the knuckles.
