round sharpener knife 28 cm

The 28 cm round sharpening steel (acciaino) is a tool for maintaining the edge of professional and kitchen knives. It does not remove material like a grinding wheel: it straightens and refreshes the edge, realigning the cutting bevel that tends to roll over with use. It is the everyday accessory for anyone using slicer knives, meat-prep bench knives and professional kitchen blades, where keeping the edge always ready means safer work and clean cuts.

Use it by holding the steel vertically in one hand and drawing the blade from heel to tip along its full length, keeping a constant angle on both sides of the edge. The round shape provides a uniform honing surface suited to frequent use. When a knife starts to slip on the food, struggles to bite in or leaves ragged cuts, a few passes on the steel usually restore the edge, postponing the need for a full re-sharpening.

Replace the steel when its surface is worn or no longer refreshes the edge as it should.
