The practical sharpening steel can be conveniently hung on a hook using the loop at the end of the handle. This way, it is always available for practical use when you want to sharpen your knives for chopping onions, filleting, or other cutting tasks. The diamond-coated sharpening steel helps you refine the sharpness of your knives exceptionally well.
