High Quality Sharpening Steel
This sharpening steel is a high quality item that is very well made.
It is very professional looking and performs extremely well.
We are very glad to have purchased it.
Outstanding
Well made and beautifully crafted.
This is a heavyweight so unless you have good arm and wrist strength you may not want to go this route and try the 10 or 12 inch fine instead. Teach yourself to hold this one in a relaxed but firm horizontal grip with your elbow propped against your body and nearly anyone without a pesky case of arthritis can use it.
I prefer this length since it covers all my knifes in one steel. Four to six light strokes with any knife on this steel tunes the edge perfectly. If more strokes do not bring the edge true, the knife is either not properly sharp to begin with or the edge is soft and particularly susceptible to bending over.
Whatever length you get I recommend this "fine" Victornox/Forshner steel version for truing knife edges.
Some day I would like to try the "helical" cut version, but I can't see why this one should not last the rest of my life if it is properly maintained and not allowed to bang into other...
