Best Professional Carbon Steel Knife Sharpening Steel, 12 inch

So I really like this item. My knives were getting really dull and it was becoming a real struggle to cut my meat. And I am on an almost carnivore diet, so a dull knife is not only a danger but a real hassle. You end up trying to saw stuff with force instead of the knife actually cutting it as it should. So I did a LOT of research before I bought this. At first I was looking at the other type of knife sharpener, the more "common" type that you slide your knife through. Now the problem with those is there were always a few bad reviews of people saying those things ruined their knives! Now I don't have fancy knives or anything but the knives I DO have, I don't want them ruined. As they are "expensive" to me. I don't have $ to be buying replacement knives because of some thing. So I bought this. And it works! And it works well. Yes, I had to rub my knife along it like 200 times to get it sharp (versus the 100 they say) but that os because my knife was SO dull!! And this may sound totally crazy, but this device reminds me of Xena! Xena sitting somewhere and sharpening her sword. Its an ancient device. Foolproof!! No weird gears or moving parts to jam up! Just hold the knife against the metal bar at the correct angle and sharpen it. I did watch a video on youtube to see how to use it. Very happy with this purchase!

I’ve just received this and it’s exactly what I was looking for. I like this method of sharpening best! It’s safe and easy to store. My Dad taught me years ago how to sharpen knives with this sharpening rod and the quality of this one is superior. I am confident that I’ll get a lot of use from this purchase!

Great for the price, it does the job!

This honing steel might be the least used tool in your kitchen. If properly used after each knife use, your knives' sharp edge will last you a lifetime. I hone my knives after each washing, so I know they will be ready for my next kitchen culinary adventure

Works excellent and it’s the perfect size.

This item is exactly as described. Does what is expected.

Was looking for a 'sharpening' and honing steel, but it is really just a honing tool that is about the same as the ceramic one I was hoping to replace. It is best for and used with fine cutlery and is excellent for preventing excess ablating of the knife edge. For heavy restaurant use and for daily use with commercial chopping and carving knives it fails at the quick sharpening effectivity.

It made my knives more usable. I like this quite well.

Great product. Love the length and the thickness.

This is great. A really old school way of sharpening blades but you don’t need anything else.

Good strong knife sharpener, does a good job.

Simply amazing sharpener. I grew up with one very similar but I was skeptical about this based on the price. Easy to handle and effortless to use.... Sharpened every darn knife I own!!! If your talented you can even sharpen serrated blades and bread knives.

Fue para regalo, super buen producto y si es como se describe en la publicación. Llego muy rápido
