I purchased this sharpening steel to keep my mercers at their best. Just a couple of swipes with each use of the knife, and my knives have remained very sharp for two years.

This is a cheap honing steel that really works. It hones your knife, not sharpen it. Make sure that your knives are not dull as using this won't work.

Mercer makes some good cutlery at good prices. This is one of the better items that Ive purchased. I use it almost daily to repair the edge on my knives. Feels good in the hand, has never rusted and works.

If you have knives (which of course you do) you need this to keep all of your knives honed at the beginning of every shift. Pick this up today.

A must have in any commercial kitchen. We have a weekly knife sharpening service, but by day 4-5 we need to keep going and the steel gets us there.

I love the Mercer Culinary Genesis line of knives and ordered this sharpening steel to go with my collection. I have found it to be the perfect length for me and the handle is the same comfortable, non-slip handle as the knives. It has a great surface and works very well with my knives.

This steel has a good weight to it. There are no nicks or dings along shaft. Sharpening action is smooth and puts a nice touch up to the blade.

This is the perfect sharpening steel for any chef''s bag. It works great and has a good feel to it. It does a great job at sharpening and the non slip grip is a plus when you have to do it on the fly.

This honing steel is a perfect pairing for the Mercer Genesis 8" Forged Chef Knife sold on here. The handle provides a very secure and safe grip when honing your knife so you don't accidentally cut yourself.
