Know before you buy
This tool features a dual-surface design. The regular cut side is used to sharpen and realign the blade edge, while the smooth side is designed for honing to maintain the sharpness of your knife between uses.
No, this sharpening steel is specifically designed for straight-edge kitchen knives. It is not suitable for serrated blades, which require specialized tools to maintain their unique tooth-like edges.
No, this sharpening steel is not dishwasher safe. We recommend cleaning it by hand with a damp cloth and drying it thoroughly to prevent rust and maintain the integrity of the steel.
No, this model does not include an integrated angle guide. It is designed for manual use, so you will need to maintain a consistent angle—typically between 15 and 20 degrees—while drawing the blade across the steel.
The tool features an integrated hangtag at the end of the handle, making it easy to store on a wall-mounted rack or a hook in your kitchen for quick access.
