(Often called a sharpening steel, or butcher steel, a steel doesnt actually sharpen a knife--unless its a diamond steel.) Consisting of a rod of hard steel alloy and a tough synthetic handle, this steel works faster than conventional steels because the rod is oval, exposing more surface to a knife blade. A loop facilitates hanging it close at hand so the steel can be employed often--before each use of a knife is ideal to prevent a blade from becoming dull and prolong intervals between professional sharpenings. The rule is that a steel should be at least as long as the knife blade being drawn across it; this steels 10-inch rod is sufficient for nearly all household knives. The steel carries a lifetime warranty against defects. --Fred Brack . . .Read More  One piece forged construction for lifelong durability  Full tang design for better balance and superior strength  Hygienic fiberglass-reinforced poly resin handle will not absorb mositure, crack, split, or chip  Made from high-carbon stainless German steel  Lifetime warranty
