Introduction This Wsthof oval honing steel, 32 cm is the perfect tool for quickly sharpening your kitchen knives before use. The handle has a hexagonal shape. This provides you with enough grip, but it also ensures that the honing steel won’t roll of the table as you put it down. The oval shape of the sharpening steel increases the contact surface and thus the speed with which you sharpen the knife. This honing steel is perfect for kitchen knives that are up to 32 cm long. Before using your knife, drag it along the honing steel a few times and flatten out the burrs that appeared during previous use. Please note: a honing steel doesn’t sharpen your knife, as it doesn’t remove any material. Honing steels are used for minor daily maintenance of your knives. ## Wsthof honing steels Sharp knives are indispensable for people who love to cook. Sharpening knives on a regular basis is essential to make sure they continue to function as they should. You also extend the life of the knife by doing so! This disadvantage of sharpening is that bit by bit you remove a little material from the edge. But this isn’t always necessary: sometimes you only need to push back the burr. That’s when the honing steel can come in handy.
