Honing Steel Knife Sharpening Rod 12 inches, Premium Carbon Steel Knife Sharpener Stick, Easy to Use Honer for Knives and Rod Sharpeners - Daily Maintenance

Needed a steel for my garage and this one was cheap in price. The steel itself looks to be of good quality, but I thought the steel was very fine reminiscent of ceramic sharping stick. The is set up to fine tune your knife so over abuse your knife, or you will be at the stone first. For quick touch ups this is a good bang for the buck.

Very good sharpener, perfect value for the $10 price.

Good for honing but I should've just bought the wet stones

Works. Easy to use.

Works well

The biggest problem with these are you cannot get them wet. I see a lot of people complain that these rust very quickly, and they do if you get them wet with water. I always have my knives clean before I hone them, so there's really no need for me to ever wash this. Even if I need to, I would just take a sanitizer wipe and then a dry towel to make sure that it's completely dry. If you do that, it'll last for a while. My boss used to be able to get these for free at work before the company decided to go with a different and crappy option. I was so happy when I found this. It's absolutely perfect to hone your knives real quick before you need to cut anything. If this is rusting after just a couple months of use, you're doing something wrong. I definitely buy this again and probably will for my crew.

I like the size of the Butcher's steel & the weight and it seemed to work good except for a little hang up or burr which may work off soon? Other wise I like the pull I felt, seemed to be perfect almost, Time will tell. I think I'll get some more., OOPS they went up a dollar.

Magnífico! Resultó mucho mejor de lo que esperaba, en la foto de la aplicación parecía más pequeña de lo que es en realidad, y su calidad es muy buena, le doy un 10 de 10
