### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Very nice quality for the price.

This equals honing rods that I've spent double on in the past. I bought this as part of a gift for a friend and got to use it a few times, it's perfect. Great length, nice and sturdy, and will likely last a lifetime. It doesn't feel as cheap as I imagined it might when I purchased it. I showed my friend how to use it and he is enjoying it.For those who might not be aware - this is not a sharpener, so it will not actually sharpen your knife, which is a big misconception because honing rods like this often advertise as "sharpeners". Yes it will realign your blade and make it perform better, but it's not actually sharpening it. When you use a knife the very edge of your blade will fold over and make it feel dull, this tool really just realigns the folded edge, it doesn't really make it sharper. That being said, if you use this after every time you use your knives then they will stay sharper for much longer because if you continue to use a knife with a folded edge then you'll develop warps and chips, which will actually dull your knife faster.My rule of thumb is to use this tool after every single time I use my knives, I do between 4-8 passings on each side and my knives stay sharp for much longer than if I didn't hone them regularly. I would look up videos on how to use this tool properly, it's easy to use but if you do misuse it then you will end up damaging your blade rather than honing - though don't be too afraid of using it, even if you damage your knife then it very likely can be fixed. I've fixed some seriously rusted out dull knives that most people would throw away.

    For Maintaining an edge, Not Sharpening Dull Knives!
  

*by A***T on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 25, 2022*

The item description is misleading since a honing steel is not for sharpening a dull knife. It's used after you sharpen a knife (like with a whetstone) in order to align the tiny imperfections along the edge, and periodically to maintain a knife. My freshly sharpened chef knife was sharp, but after a few strokes on each side with this steel, I could feel the improvement. If you take good care of your sharp knives (no abuse, hand wash, dry immediately, maintain the edge) you won't have to sharpen them very often. I'll give the product 5 stars because it's solid and performs just as I expected, but the product description should be updated.Also, 12" refers to the exposed steel portion. With the handle, the overall length is over 17"!
