steel round knife 26 cm

The 26 cm round honing steel (ref. 9.009.025) is a tool for maintaining the edge of kitchen and butcher knives. Unlike a stone or a sharpener, a honing steel does not remove material from the blade: it realigns and refreshes the edge between proper sharpenings, keeping the knife cutting efficiently in everyday use.

The round-section rod has a 26 cm working area, long enough to draw even long blades along in a single pass; the handle is separated from the rod by a guard that protects the hand during use. To use it, slide the blade along the steel with light pressure at a constant angle, alternating the two sides of the knife.

Replace it when the rod shows worn, smooth grooves, chips or deformations that reduce its effectiveness or make use unsafe.
