Product Description
Chefs Choice 10-Inch Oval Diamond Sharpening Steel: Kitchen & Dining. The rule of thumb being that a steel should be at least as long as the knife blade being drawn across it, this steel's length is fine for most household knives. Knife steels often are touted as sharpening tools. Few actually sharpen but do perform the vital task of realigning, or resetting, a knife's edge, which bends this way and that when contacting a cutting surface or other hard object. Because this tool's surface contains diamond dust, it's hard enough to somewhat sharpen a blade. Somewhat is key. This won't replace a professional sharpening job, which proceeds from coarse grinding to ever-finer grinding at tightly controlled angles. This steel performs only the final grinding, during which an edge is polished. Thus, properly used it can lengthen intervals between sharpenings better than a steel without diamond dust. Its oval shape exposes more surface to a knife's blade.
