(More customer reviews)Chicago Cutlery Centurion 8" Sharpening Steel
The art of knife sharpening, then KEEPING them sharp is and interesting issue. On one hand, it's amazingly simple, while at the same time being both complex and difficult.
However, once those secrets are mastered, the physical aspect is, indeed, simple. And the KEY to keeping your blades conditioned and in good shape after they're initially sharpened is a good steel (or ceramic steel). I have seen kitchen knives that, once sharpened, have never needed anything further than the occasional steel and they've remained razor sharp through their entire effective life span (which is greatly increased by using the steel).
When a blade is sharpened, the stones actually cuts the metal and reshapes the angle of the edge. So full sharpening removes metal at a relatively significant rate.
The steel, once the blade has been used and dulled, "pushes" the metal of the edge back into the proper place and alignment. This process simply moves the metal back to where it should be and does not remove metal in the process. Unless the blade has chips or nicks or notches in it from use, a full re-sharpening is RARELY warranted.
The Chicago Steel is of medium size, balances near perfectly and and is extremely effective in restoring the edge. Moreover, it's so simple to use, my wife freely avails herself of the steel and will do finishing touches to her knives when she has a particular job to do and I'm not around.
All in all, after climbing through the learning curve, I find this to be an Excellent tool that does its job perfectly and at a reasonable prices.
I would highly recommend this steel to anyone who wished to learn proper care and handling of their blades.
