Keep your edge with a HexClad honing steel. It’s perfectly normal for premium steel blades–even those made from Japanese Damascus steel–to feel less smooth over time. Occasional honing helps realign the edge of your blade for optimal cutting performance. A frequent, quick swipe down the steel will restore the edge of your knife or shears, keeping it sharper longer. Hardened carbon steel rod. Machined, vertical striations realign the edge of the blade. Flared bolster provides a safe and secure grip. Unique, rare forest green Pakkawood handle. *Free shipping to contiguous US

I've been using this 9-inch rod for a few weeks and it does a great job realigning the edge on my German chef's knife after heavy meal prep. The steel feels sturdy and the length gives me plenty of control.

Finally, a honing steel that actually makes a difference. My German chef's knife felt dull after a week, and this rod realigned the edge in just a few passes—the 9-inch length gives me perfect control.

The 9-inch length gives me perfect control when honing my chef's knife, and the steel rod feels sturdy enough to last years. My blade slices through paper again after just a few passes.
