Wüsthof 10 Deluxe Honing Steel

The Wusthof 10 Deluxe Steel is a vital tool in the kitchen, serving to realign or reset the edges of knives that have become bent or deformed from contact with cutting surfaces. Often referred to as a "sharpening steel" or "butcher steel," this device does not actually sharpen the knife, unless it is a diamond steel.

Composed of a rod of hard steel alloy and a robust synthetic handle, this steel performs its function as effectively as any other. The inclusion of a loop facilitates easy storage, allowing the steel to be within reach and used frequently - ideally, before each use, to prevent the blade from becoming dull and extend the time between professional sharpening.

The rule of thumb is that the steel should be at least as long as the blade of the knife being honed. This 10-inch steel model is sufficient for the majority of household knives. Additionally, the steel carries a lifetime warranty against defects.

The ridged surface of the Wusthof 10 Deluxe Steel helps to raise the burr on the blade, a crucial step in the realignment process. The handle provides a secure grip, and its magnetic properties ensure a dependable hold on the steel.

Manufactured in Solingen, Germany, the "Cutlery Capital of the World," this Wusthof steel exemplifies the exceptional craftsmanship and quality that the brand is renowned for. The combination of a hangable handle, sure-grip design, and magnetically-enhanced surface make this steel an indispensable tool for maintaining the sharp, precise edges of your kitchen knives.
