Sharpening steel

A honing steel is used for the daily, light maintenance of your knives. Unlike sharpening, honing does not remove material but realigns the edge of the blade. This quickly restores the sharpness of a slightly dull knife without grinding it down. Honing steels are ideal for professional use in kitchens, food processing, horticulture or any setting where knives are used intensively. Regular honing helps maintain consistent cutting performance and extends the lifespan of the knife. They are available in different versions, including classic steel and ceramic, depending on the desired finish. For long-term maintenance, sharpening tools such as sharpening stones, whetstones or sharpening systems should be used. By combining honing and sharpening, knives stay sharp, precise and reliable for a long time.
