Equip your kitchen with expertise with Henckels. desertcart.COM A classic tool that helps get the best from knives, this sharpening steel is a solidly crafted addition to any knife block. Between professional sharpenings, tiny metal fibers bend down on a blade, dulling the surface. The purpose of the sharpening steel is to straighten up those fibers, maintaining the sharpest edge possible for daily use. There's a page of instructions included for cooks who've never used one--while the correct angle is important, go slowly and you'll have the technique down before you know it. In this model, the weight is centered in the handle, which is more substantial than those on many other sharpeners, providing a nice balance for beginners. Just wipe it down as necessary--there's no need to give this tool a serious scrub. --Jill Lightner desertcart.com A classic tool that helps get the best from knives, this sharpening steel is a solidly crafted addition to any knife block.

Review: Sharpened up my cutlery nicely - Didn't realize just how worn my old one was (10+ yrs) until the new arrived. Great replacment item for my set - fits in my Henkel block. Heavy weight formed plastic handle for nice grip when using. Sharpened up my cutlery nicely.
Review: Works Much Better than the Cheap Knockoffs - I replaced one of these with a cheap version that didn't work at all. So, I bought a genuine brand-name one, and it works really well.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this a honing or sharpening steel?**
A: A straigtening steel realigns the but to the center making it more ∆. When you use a knife it slightly makes the blade shift this realigns it. It has nothing to do with sharpening when the blade is straight it will feel sharp since you are cutting with a properly straighten blade. That's called straightening. 
Sharpening a blade involves taking a sliver of steel particles off to "resharpen" the edge from. U to a V
A quick way is to use a Honing steel but to truly sharpen your knives 
properly and correctly you should use a stone to properly sharpen the blade using multiple grit levels

**Q: Honing steel or sharpening steel?**
A: Honing steels do not cut / remove metal from blade, like Abe (Jan14 2015) says, they align the knife's cutting edge. However there are some 'sharpening steels', these are shaped like the 'honing steel', but the surface is sharp and quite rough to the touch, these actually makes cuts into the knife edge. I normally hone to align the edge first, then a sharpening steel or stone.

**Q: Where is this knife (item #32547-232) made, Germany or China?**
A: Germany, and an excellent product. If you buy one, be sure to buy a good quality steel with it.

**Q: Could i use this to hone a "2 man" zwilling ja henckel knife i just purchased?**
A: Yes regardless of type its a honing tool and will work with anything

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Incredible knife sharpener
*by K***N on July 11, 2025*

After using honing rods I had around, then using this, the knife is so much sharper now. I never actually sharpen the knive anymore, I just hone it to a great edge. My wife would agree, but that edge so sharp....
