The honing steel features a blade made of ribbed, high-carbon, and hard-chromed steel. With a length of 23 cm, it is designed for quick and powerful sharpening of various types of knives. The ribbed surface allows for optimal results when sharpening knife blades. Additionally, the high-quality steel is resistant and durable. The black plastic handle provides a secure grip while you hone your kitchen knives, scissors, and other blades. Thanks to its rounded shape, non-slip surface, and safety edge in front of the honing steel, your fingers won't slip off during sharpening. At the back end of the handle, there is a hole for hanging the utensil. With the honing steel, you can extend the life of your knives, as rubbing the blade against the honing steel re-sharpens it, significantly improving its cutting power. With Zwilling's practical sharpening tool, your knives will glide effortlessly through meat, vegetables, and other ingredients you want to chop for delicious dishes.
