I read many reviews on many different brands, and came across this one. It intrigued me about the fact that it had 2 different surfaces to use. Having been a meat cutter for 10 years, I was very familiar with the Victorinox name and reputation. As any person who cuts food for a living knows, a good steel is a necessity and if you don't have one, it's like trying to work with one arm tied behind your back. I decided to purchase it and give it a try. I'm glad I did. There is a definite difference in the "bite" the two sides offer, and it's evident to me at least, that using both sides makes the touch up of the edge quicker and with less effort. Even though I went from a 14" steel to this 12" model, it handles my 10" chef's knife well. True, the handle is nothing to look at, as it's black plastic and not shaped wood like my old one, but I'm not displaying this on the counter as a showpiece. It's a valuable tool to keep my knives sharp and nothing more. This steel is more than worth the money, and I would recommend highly. Even if you have an inexpensive set of knives that comes with one of those cheap, short steels, I would say to spend the few bucks to buy this. Keep the short steel to fill the hole in your counter display block, but use this one to do the work. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excelente producto *by G***O on Reviewed in Mexico on 15 June 2023* Fue para regalo, pero creo que me compraré una para mí.La usé y me gustó mucho. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I like it *by P***L on Reviewed in the United States on 15 June 2015* This is an excellent knife sharpener to accompany the Victorinox line of kitchen knives, and it has an undocumented trick a lot of people seem to be confused about- combo surfaces.YES IT HAS TWO DIFFERENT SURFACES! Opposite sides of the steel are in two different patterns. There's a ridged "sharpening" side, and a smooth "honing" side. Most consumer kitchen "honing" rods are actually slightly abrasive like the ridged portion of this steel. This results in a less than perfect edge, but it performs a slight amount of sharpening so you can maintain a "good enough" edge for most kitchen use longer in between having to give your knives a professional resharpening. Smooth rods are less common, they perform no sharpening and only help to realign the existing cutting edge- this will only help maintain an existing edge longer, it does not "resharpen" the blade. Professionals often prefer smooth steels because they have an in-house program to get their knives professionally resharpened whenever they need it.Pros:-Long. At 12", this steel should be long enough to safely sharpen any home knife.-Two different surfaces, a ridged sharpening side and smooth honing side.-Adequate construction. Victorinox often use inexpensive plastic handles to reduce cost. They grip well in any condition, and the cheaper price is worth it.Cons:-Honestly I'm sure they could make the handle a bit nicer without affecting the price. It still grips well, but it's enough of an eyesore that I stash it away in a drawer between uses.-Doesn't come with sufficient documentation, leaving people confused about what the different surfaces are for.Overall highly recommended. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/604914904-victorinox-honing-steel-black-plastic-handle](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/604914904-victorinox-honing-steel-black-plastic-handle) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-05-10*
