J.A. Henckels 12-Inch Diamond Sharpening Steel Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This steel actually works very well out of the box. The trouble is as stated above, the diamond dusting wears off in no time at all. I used this for two weeks at my job on high volume carving stations w/2 Henckels 5-star 10" Granton Roast Slicers, & at the end of two weeks the dusting was completely gone on both sides. If you were to use this at home it would of course last much longer, but still not nearly as long as the Henckels Pro-S 12" steel I replaced it with. My advice is to avoid diamond empregnated steels all together & opt for a high quality traditional steel like the Henckels 12" Pro-S.

F. Dick 11" Multicut Knife Sharpening Steel Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is great steel, makes a huge difference in keeping my knives razor sharp.
For everyday use I just take 2-4 strokes as light as I possibly can touch the steel almost just the weight of the knife itself and edge stays razor sharp.

when knife starts to dull just a wee bit I increase pressure across the several grooves which usually brings edge right back then a couple very light strokes and viola.

I sharpen my knives to a 15/20 double bevel edge then strop them to a high polish.
Using this steel I only need to re-sharpen with a stone maybe 2-3 times a year at most.

J.A. Henckels Twin Pro S 12-Inch Honing Steel Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Oh, I can't tell you how happy I am to have this well-made honing steel--it feels so good that I don't even have to force myself to go five strokes on both sides of the blade before I start chopping (as Dinosaur Jr. would have it). This is a very nice and solid piece of equipment, it looks pretty good, and it does what it's supposed to do very well.

Now, for those who say "it's not a sharpening tool!"--you're right. Then again, since I got this thing, and have started using it very regularly, I have not had to sharpen any of my knives, and yes, even blades that seemed all too dull were not beyond salvation. I cannot tell (though I know the definitions) were honing stops and sharpening starts, but I have the feeling that if your knives aren't in too bad a shape they might well benefit from a serious application of the steel. Don't offend the purists and call that 'sharpening'--but as long as your knives cut better as a result, who cares what the purists call it?

One final thing: as with many tools, size counts: 12 inches seems, to me, to be some sort of a minimum length for a honer--this one is long enough, and I certainly wouldn't consider a 10-inch steel.

Product Description:
Henckels sharpening steels are the key to keeping your knives sharp. In order to sharpen a knife, the steel must have a hardness factor greater than the knife to be sharpened; with a Rockwell hardness factor of 66 degrees, Henckels sharpening steels are harder than even super hard Henckels FRIODUR, ice-hardened blades. To easily sharpen a knife, hold the steel point down on a table or cutting board, at an angle between knife and steel of 20 degrees, pull the knife down and across the sharpening steel in a slight arc. Alternate between right and left sides of the knife 3 to 4 times. All steels are magnetic to hold small particles removed from the knife blade and are made of chrome-plated carbon steel. A sharp knife will provide maximum safety. Use the sharpening steel regularly, preferably every other time the knife is used
