Introduction This Wsthof Classic honing steel, 26 cm is the perfect tool for quickly sharpening your kitchen knives before use. 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. 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. When choosing a honing steel, make sure you use one with the right length. The rule of thumb is that your honing steel needs to be as long as the longest knife you want to hone. So don’t forget about that extra-long chef’s knife you wish to purchase in the future! ## Wsthof Classic handle: durable and hygienic This honing steel is enhanced with an ergonomic handle made from black POM, an extremely sustainable plastic. This handle can deal with any substances found in the kitchen. The handle is traditionally, and of course seamlessly, riveted to the blade with three rivets. The crop will protect your fingers from unwanted contact with the edge. ## Wsthof Classic: the classic Wsthof collection The Classic is the most extensive Wsthof collection. The collection consists of 80 different kitchen knives, including various sizes of chef’s knives, bread knives and carving knives. Because this collection has most versions of all possible knives, you can easily comprise your own complete knife set. A knife set with a knife block or chef’s case is, of course, also an option!
