(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 with a tough synthetic handle and a steel finger guard, this steel works well and looks better than most hanging close at hand, where you can employ it frequently—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 12-inch rod hones all household knives. The steel carries a lifetime warranty against defects. --Fred Brack . . .Read More  12-inch steel realigns knives blade-edges  Long enough to hone all knives  Hanging loop on black poly handle and finger-guard  Wipe with dry cloth, if necessary  Lifetime warranty against defects
