Bring Your Knives Back to Sharp in a Minute
Even the best knives lose their edge over time, and a dull knife needs more pressure, which makes cutting slower and less safe. This diamond honing steel helps you bring the edge back quickly: a few strokes on each side and your knife is ready to slice meat, vegetables and fruit again.
The rod
Diamond-coated steel for a quick edge
The 23 cm (9 in) rod is stainless steel coated with diamond powder in a #500 grit. The diamond chips make honing quick and easy, so you can touch up your knives whenever they start to feel dull.
You can use it for kitchen knives and also for the blades of scissors.
The handle
A secure grip with every stroke
The handle is made of rosewood and cast iron and is shaped to sit comfortably in your hand. A firm grip helps keep the rod from slipping while you hone, and the metal guard keeps your fingers away from the blade.
- Rosewood handle: durable and comfortable to hold.
- Well balanced: steady in your hand while you work.
- Hanging ring: store it on a hook near your knives.
How to use it
Honing in four easy steps
1. Hold the rod
Stand the tip of the rod on a solid, non-slip surface and hold the handle firmly at the top.
2. Set the angle
Place the knife edge against the rod at about 20 to 25 degrees.
3. Pull the blade across
Pull the knife down and across the rod, starting near the handle of the knife and ending at the tip. Repeat 3 to 5 times on each side until the edge feels sharp.
4. Clean up
Wipe or wash the knife after honing, and wipe the rod with a cloth.
Good to know
Arrives in a gift box
