Product Description
Amazon.com Review
Despite its name, a sharpening steel doesn't actually sharpen, unless it's a "diamond" steel, but it does perform the vital task of realigning a knife's edge, which can bend through contact with a cutting surface or other hard object. This steel, a tapered rod of hard steel alloy, works as well as any, if not better, since its oval shape exposes more surface to the blade. It features a finger guard and a hanging ring on its handle, and its grooved, black synthetic handle provides a fist-firm grip. Using the steel often--ideally, every time you haul out a knife--prevents a blade from becoming dull and prolongs the intervals between professional sharpenings. Since the rule of thumb is that a steel should be at least as long as the knife blade being drawn across it, this steel's length is sufficient for most household knives. --Fred Brack

Great steel, but where do I put it?,

This review is from: Zwilling J.A. Henckels Oval 12-Inch Honing Steel (Kitchen)
I purchased a book for my husband called "Knife Skills" and this honing steel was recommended. The advantages are that is is long enough to hone a 10" chefs knife. It is oval, so there is more contact between the knife and the steel. It has a ring to hang it up and a hand guard. It looks attractive, but it is huge! It didn't even come close to fitting in our block that easily holds our 10" chef's knife. We had to place a hook on the wall to hang it. We were prepared for this, so it wasn't a problem. You don't want it banging around in a drawer, so hanging from the wall or the fridge is really the only option. They put that ring there for a reason. If you are prepared for storage difficulties, it could be the best and only steel you ever buy.

This review is from: Zwilling J.A. Henckels Oval 12-Inch Honing Steel (Kitchen)
I really like this kitchen tool. I sharpen my knives as needed and the results are wonderful. I have the honing steel hanging above my knife block for convenience... but it also decorates a very difficult tiny slice of wall. Works perfectly for me!

I have this honing steel and I love the oval shape because it works an edge on all sizes and shapes of blades regardless of their quality.5 mojo*z for this workhorse
