Victorinox Diamond Sharpening Steel
Best sharpening tool for home cooks needing to restore dull blades.
This is the heavy-duty solution for reviving blades that have long since lost their edge. Its aggressive diamond coating makes short work of dull steel, though it is far too abrasive for daily maintenance and should be reserved for serious restoration work.
