This honing steel serves a vital role by realigning, or “resetting,” kitchen knives’ edges, which bend this way and that when contacting a cutting surface. (Often called a sharpening steel, or “butcher” steel, a steel doesn’t actually sharpen a knife–unless it’s a “diamond” steel.) Consisting of a rod of hard steel-alloy with a tough synthetic handle and a steel finger guard, this steel works well and looks better than most hanging close at hand, where you can employ it frequentlyideally each time you use a knife. That prevents a blade from becoming dull and prolongs intervals between professional sharpenings. The rule is that a steel should be at least as long as the knife blade being drawn across it, and this steel’s 12-inch rod hones all household knives. The steel carries a lifetime warranty against defects. –Fred Brack
