Because this tools surface contains diamond dust, its hard enough to somewhat sharpen a blade. While using this steel wont replace a professional sharpening job, which proceeds from coarse grinding to ever-finer grinding at tightly controlled angles, it will lengthen intervals between sharpenings. This steel will also perform better than a steel without diamond dust because it accomplishes the final task of a professional sharpening, which is polishing the edge to a fine point while realigning the edge. The rule is that a steel should be at least as long as the knife blade being drawn across it, and this steels 12-inch rod handles all household knives. The steel carries a lifetime warranty against defects. --Fred Brack . . .Read More  Partially sharpens knives while realigning edges  Steel rod embedded with diamond dust  Durable handle with hanging-loop  Wipe with damp or dry cloth, if necessary  Lifetime warranty against defects
