## Description

A TRUSTED FAVORITE Used by culinary professionals, the 10" Victorinox Swiss Classic Honing Steel maintains your knife's sharpness so they can handle nearly every kitchen task imaginable. Crafted with a comfortable handle, superior weight and balance, and a brushed industrial plated steel, your knives will increase in strength and sharpness. KEY FEATURES High-quality, industrial brush chromed plated steel. Handle design reduces hand and wrist fatigue. Fit for sharpening your knives. Increases strength & stain-resistance. Textured handle for a secure and comfortable grip no matter the hand size. Easily wipes clean. CARE AND USE Be good to your knives and they’ll be good to you. Following these simple guidelines will ensure that you get the longest life out of your knife! CLEANING Victorinox Swiss Army recommends washing all knives by hand. For best results, hand wash your knives with a soapy cloth and dry immediately. While Fibrox Pro knives are dishwasher safe, we recommend hand washing as dishwashers are designed to spray water at a relatively high pressure, which can jostle the silverware and cause the knives to collide, dulling the edge. SHARPENING For optimum performance, knives should be honed after every couple of uses. Proper and frequent use of a honing steel will keep your knives sharper and performing at their best. FORMERLY FORSCHNER In 1937 Victorinox began selling cutlery in America through a Connecticut distributor called R.H. Forschner & Co. A well-known manufacturer of butcher scales, Forschner soon became the exclusive U.S. distributor for Victorinox knives, and was the name by which Victorinox knives were known.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this work with a karambit?**
A: It may be awkward.  Remember the steel is ment to maintain the sharpness of the knife.  It is not for actually sharpening the utensil.

**Q: Is the steel magnetized?**
A: The entire steel is magnetized, and the magnetic effect continues to within 2" of the end of the handle (that is, it turns paper clips on a wooden table).  It picks up paper clips, as another answer says.  I can feel it tugging on a normal desk size scissors blade but it's not strong enough to lift it.

**Q: Is the hand weighted or is it just plastic?**
A: The handle is plastic but does have weight.

**Q: Is the grit "fine"?**
A: There's no "grit", at least not like a diamond steel has, but rather thin lines of metal that run from end to end.
