The Wusthof honing steel is designed to help you achieve a precision edge on your knives and other cutting tools. Regularly using a honing steel keeps your knives sharp and precise in between proper sharpenings. This tool is made from high-quality chromium plated steel, providing a rock-hard surface that will help you keep your blades sharp and durable. The round-tipped end makes it safe to use, while the looped handle provides an easy grip. As your knife begins to dull with use over time, a few strokes of both sides of the knife over the honing steel will help you to maintain the sharpness of a good blade. 9" L Made from hard chromium plated steel Hardness of 65 Rockwell BPA-free synthetic handle Wipe clean with a damp cloth and dry immediately
