an easy way to keep expensive knives sharp
I use this daily five days a week 40 hours a day and it works as advertised! The handle is large and securely attached. The ceramic shaft works great!

Great but won’t fix jacked up knifes
Very sharp on everything with an edge already, if you have knifes all chipped and jacked up don’t bother. Get a new knife set, that’s not what this is designed for. But for sharping a knife that’s just dull- best Iv used

Just right
The grit is just right for me; right in the middle. Rough enough to cut and to tune up. Too fine and it doesn’t sharpen. Too rough and the edge is grabby. Long enough to handle a 12” blade. Made to last, it’s worth the extra money. Steels are designed for keeping an edge tuned up, not for setting the bevel and sharpening from scratch. I use it every time I start to cook.

Steal for a good steel
Does a nice job. Not sure that it will put a fine finish on a knife?

Favorite sharpener
My favorite sharpener. lasts for a long time but will eventually lose its rough texture which stops sharpening as well.

Wont last long
Never, ever buy it again. It lost its diamond particles within a few days. Disappointing.

This is a great steel
I have just purchased this steel to replace the exact one that I purchased in 2012. I have used it almost daily for nine years and it keeps my knives extremely sharp. I regularly clean it using hot water, dish soap, and a scrub brush to clean the steel fines out of the abrasive coating. It's finally starting to show wear after all these years. One of the best cheap kitchen tools I ever purchased. The only negative is that the handle loosened after a couple of years. I put a bit of Gorilla Glue in the handle and slid it back on, and it's never given me any trouble.

Really sharp knives
The diamond dust cover really brings Avery keen edge to your knives. I’ve only had it a short while and I really like it. I can’t comment on how long it lasts but first impression is it’s very good
