(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 well. A loop facilitates hanging it close at hand so you can employ the steel often—ideally each time you use a knife. That prevents a blade from becoming dull and prolongs intervals between professional sharpenings. The rule is that a steel should be at least as long as the knife blade being drawn across it, and this steels 10-inch rod is sufficient for nearly all household knives. The steel carries a lifetime warranty against defects. --Fred Brack . . .Read More  10-inch steel realigns knives blade-edges  Long enough to hone nearly all knives  Hanging loop on black poly handle  Wipe with dry cloth, if necessary  Lifetime warranty against defects
