Description

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Proper knife maintenance extends the lifespan of your knives. Caring for them is easier with the Henckels Fine Edge Pro 9" Sharpening Steel. Fabricated from high-quality stainless steel, this indispensible kitchen tool restores maximum sharpness to your knives in just seconds. Curved for comfort, the ergonomic handle is easy to grip, giving you the control you need for effective sharpening. Henckels makes essential kitchen tools every home chef needs. From steak knives to spatulas, every product offers high quality at an exceptional value. Created in 1895 by Zwilling J.A. Henckels, this value-driven brand guarantees the same durability, design and ease of use for which the global company is known. Equip your kitchen with expertise with Henckels. AMAZON.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 A classic tool that helps get the best from knives, this sharpening steel is a solidly crafted addition to any knife block.

  • Sharpens in the best way possible
My grandpa used to sharpen his knives with something similar. I used to love watching him because in my young eyes he seemed like a pro. My knives were dull. Exceedingly so. I sharpened my chef’s knife, it cuts so smoothly now without smashing my tomatoes. Like a dream. I sharpened some cheap steak knives I purchased years ago, and I don’t think they have ever been sharp. They are now. I seem to take the sharpness for granted because I’m cutting myself every week just by handling the knives for washing and putting them away where I didn’t before. Because they were dull. This sharpener works very well. It’s easy to use and it sharpens my knives beautifully. For this price point, what have you got to lose? I highly recommend this product. And if anything were to happen where it broke or went missing, I would not hesitate to get the exact same thing. My only regret is that I waited so long to make this purchase. ... show more

  • Exact replacement
This was used to replace a honing stick that came with a Henckels knife set. It was a direct replacement for the worn out one, and works great. Good tool at a good price

  • STURDY BUILD, CLASSIC LOOK
BOTTOM LINE: It works, is a good length, and feels like a quality instrument. It only gets 4 stars, because the handle on the one I received is different than the one that is pictured and looks like a cheaper plastic. HANDLE: First off, the handle in the picture looks like it is wood with metal around the hilt. This is not what I received, and I didn't notice until just now (a month later) as I sit down to write the review. The handle that I received is all black and all plastic - it looks just like the OXO Good Grips Professional Sharpening Steel, but it says "J.A. Henckels International" on it with the single Henckels man logo. Nonetheless, it is quite sturdy, has good weight and balance, and it feels like it is full tang. The grip is not slippery in any way, so I have no concerns with it when I am using it to hone my knives. HILT: I just want to quickly point out that the hilt flares out just enough to protect your hand, which is nice, since it might just save you from cutting yourself when you are honing fast (it definitely saved me once). HONING QUALITY: I trust the Henckels brand. Unfortunately, I do not have a lot of experience with other sharpening tools (or honing steel), so I cannot say how this stacks up. In my opinion, this does what I want it to do - smoothing out the edges of my blades before and after I use them, and also after I sharpen them - just to make things nice and neat. I am still working on my technique for honing the inside of the blade - I get a much cleaner swipe on the outside of the blade. LENGTH: Lastly, the 9" length on this tool is good, especially for the value, but it is not great. It is fine for my 8" or 9" knives, but I can see how a longer sharpening steel would be better, since you can use the full length of the steel for honing without getting close to the hilt (or your hand). This is especially the case with longer knives (like my 12 inch Sekiryu Yanagiba Sashimi Knife 300mm). ... show more

  • Good knife sharpener
I have been expanding my set of HENCKELS "Statement" knives over time, buying them opportunistically one by one, and after a while I got this Henckels knife sharpener. No frills, sturdy, comfortable in your hand, it will not disappoint. The trick to using a knife sharpener is to hit the sweet spot and not overdo it, otherwise you have to start all over again. Also, I started sharpening my knives **every single time** before using them, no matter what. It makes an amazing difference. And it makes the sharpening quick and easy too. ... show more

  • Great everyday use steel
Fits in my knife roll perfectly, this is my everyday use sharpening steel, its a good balanced weight grip, smooth but not slippery handle. This durable steel has withstood the test of two years of daily use in kitchen prep and still sharpens with the same speed.

  • Great replacement for original Henckels sharpening steel
When I noticed that my nice 25-year-old set of Zwilling Henckels knives didn't seem sharp any more -- even though I used the original steel to sharpen them regularly -- I realized that the "file" grooves in the steel had gone completely dull. The new sharpening steel (which actually "trues" the edge rather than sharpening it: I have a good true knife sharpener for that) makes kitchen work a pleasure. ... show more
