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.
