Victorinox Swiss Army 10#double; Rosewood Honing Steel

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, but remember that a honing steel will not sharpen a dull knife. Honing steels are maintenance tools and are used to help keep an already-sharp blade from degrading. During use, a knife edge becomes rolled or turned from direct contact with cutting boards, bones or other hard objects. In this case, honing is necessary to straighten the edge of the knife.

From the Rosewood collection by Victorinox Swiss Army, this honing steel features:

• handle made of naturally strong and heavy rosewood, chosen for its crack resistance
• color and grain pattern variations that offer each handle a unique, natural beauty
• regular-cut round full-tang stainless steel with chrome finish
• metal hook for easy and convenient storage
• hand wash recommended; do not soak
• approx. 10#double;
• lifetime warranty against defects in material and workmanship
