Review: A very effective and easy way to add a final razor edge to kitchen knives - As so many five star reviews attest, this is proving to be a very effective knife sharpener. We use it as intended, which is on already quite sharp knives to add a final razor edge, a process called honing, I believe. It works marvellously well, especially thanks to the clever angle guide built into the handle. For the price we paid, the quality shines through. It is certainly a solid and very well made product. Well done to the manufacturer and to desertcart for making it available.
Review: Good steel, for beginners and experts. - High quality item and works well, I've been a chef for 25 years and used many different brands. I have a large knife collection, all quality gear and I look after my kit. One thing I need to say about this product: steels aren't to sharpen knives, they are for honing! Sharpening is done with a whetstone when the knife is dull beyond honing and will grind metal off the blade to give a sharper edge. Every few months or so for me, if that, and even if I'm using the knife daily. Honing can be done hourly and doesn't take metal off the knife; it just knocks the structure of the knife edge back into alignment giving you a razor to work with if done right. Knowing the difference between sharpening and honing is important; I learned this late in my career and have some seriously eroded and unusable £100+ knives to prove it. So its a honing steel rather than a sharpener... Just saying. Anyway, the angled guides on the handle make this steel easy to use, from beginner to grumpy old chef you will just get it and actually like it because the results are consistently spot on. The steel was inexpensive and cost less than a fifth of many of my knives but I am impressed and definitely recommend it. There's no sign of wear after a year of heavy use. So, if you're on the fence, as an experienced chef I would highly recommend this steel, I got one for my mum too 😁
