    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.

    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.

    No frills steel. Does the job adequately. Weight and balance is there. Gives my blades a clean edge before every slice. Watch the video to learn to use it to prevent doing more harm than good to your blades.
