You may have a Honing Steel if you bought a full knife set, probably a medium grooved steel. We offer a significant upgrade over that knife set honing steel. First, the steel in all our Honing Steels are from a German company, Friedr. Dick, they make the best Steels we have ever seen. Second, our favorite is their fine Steel, which is much better for your knives than that coarser medium cut. Finally, we install a beautiful custom handle out of our hardwood stock. We can even match a knife handle you might be thinking of buying. Remember, a Honing Steel is a good investment for your fine knives. Use the Steel regularly and your knives will work at peak performance and it will keep your edges sharp. A Honing Steel doesn't replace sharpening stones, but will lengthen the time between sharpening. The Steel is round and approximately 12" long, the entire Honing Steel is about 17 1/2" overall. We can get 10" long Steels and Regular Cut Steels by request.
