Wolf Gourmet Honing Steel Rod

This honing steel is designed to realign the microscopic edge of your knife blade, which can bend or dull during regular use. It helps maintain your knife's sharpness between professional sharpenings, though it does not remove metal to create a new edge.

Yes, it is designed for standard kitchen knives. With a 12.5-degree grinding angle and high-carbon stainless steel construction, it is optimized to maintain the precision of high-quality cutlery.

The full-tang construction means the steel extends through the entire length of the handle, providing superior balance and durability. This creates a sturdy, well-weighted tool that feels stable and controlled in your hand while honing.

The honing steel is not dishwasher safe, as high heat and moisture can damage the Pakkawood handle. Simply wipe the rod clean with a soft, damp cloth after each use and dry it thoroughly to preserve the integrity of the wood.

No, this is a honing tool, not a sharpener. While it keeps your knives performing at their peak by straightening the edge, you will still need to use a dedicated sharpening stone or system periodically to remove metal and create a new, sharp edge.
