Wüsthof 10 Deluxe Honing Steel

The Wusthof 10 Deluxe Steel is a vital tool in the kitchen, serving to realign or reset a knife's edges, which can become bent and distorted through contact with cutting surfaces. This steel, often referred to as a sharpening steel or butcher steel, does not actually sharpen the knife itself, unless it is a diamond steel.

Consisting of a rod made of a hard steel alloy and a tough synthetic handle, this steel is as effective as any other. A loop on the handle allows it to be hung within easy reach, enabling frequent use, which is ideal to prevent blades from becoming dull and extend the time between professional sharpenings.

The rule of thumb is that the steel should be at least as long as the knife blade being drawn across it, and this 10-inch steel is sufficient for nearly all household knives. The steel is backed by a lifetime warranty against defects.

The ridged surface of the Wusthof 10 Deluxe Steel helps to bring up the burr on the blade, improving its performance. The handle is designed for a sure grip and is magnetic, making it easy to store and access. The steel is made in Solingen, Germany, the renowned "Cutlery Capital of the World," ensuring its quality and craftsmanship.

In summary, the Wusthof 10 Deluxe Steel is a versatile and reliable tool that plays a crucial role in maintaining the sharpness and performance of kitchen knives. Its features, such as the ridged surface, hangable handle, and sure grip, make it a valuable addition to any cook's arsenal. The lifetime warranty and Solingen heritage further solidify its reputation as a top-quality product.
