Diamond Honing Steel for Professional Knife Sharpening
Category: darlac sharpening rod
Product Description An essential part of any chef's equipment is a sharp knife, allowing for quick and accurate cutting that is both convenient and safer than using a dull blade, which is more prone to slipping. A honing steel is a simple and easy-to-use tool that can help restore your knives to their factory-fresh edge, but it's important to remember that a honing steel does not actually sharpen knives. Instead, it works by realigning the blade, smoothing out imperfections caused by daily use, and giving the knife a straight cutting edge.
Sharpening Steel vs. Honing Steel A sharpening steel removes material from the knife, restoring the V-shape of the edge by shaving off steel. This process is ideal for sharpening knives that have become dull over time. In contrast, a honing steel does not remove any metal from the blade and is used to realign the edge without damaging it. The key difference between a sharpening and a honing steel lies in whether or not material is removed during the process.
How to Use a Honing Steel To use a honing steel, brace the tip on a solid surface, such as a chopping board on a kitchen counter, and hold the steel vertically in your non-dominant hand. With your dominant hand, hold the knife against the steel at a 20-degree angle and draw the blade down and away from the steel with gentle pressure. Repeat this process on both sides of the blade to realign the edge.

Easy to Storage To keep your honing steel clean, simply wipe it down with a dry cloth after each use.

Avoid putting the sharpener in the dishwasher to prolong its lifespan.
