Heavy Duty 21-Inch Knife Honing Steel
Wood Grip and Metal Swivel Hanger
One of the biggest misconceptions about
the particular type of kitchen tool you see above is the belief that it's a
knife sharpener. It doesn't help that many manufacturers sell their honing
steels as such. But a honing steel is not a sharpener. Ridged, rod-like honing
steels, or "stropping irons," as they're sometimes called, do not
sharpen blades; they realign them and remove a burr that is created during
sharpening. Likewise, they can give a quick edge between your regular
sharpening schedule. This is similar to a barber stopping a single edge razor
on a leather strop.
Edge maintenance is a preventive measure:
It helps keep sharp knives sharp and safe. There is an old adage that a knife
that is not sharp is not safe.
Total length including original hanger
hardware is 21-inches.
This Tru-Edge honing steel was made by Ontario Knife Company
which has a outstanding reputation of producing quality products.
The exact age of this item is unknown. The blade of this
beautiful heavy duty honing steel is 13 5/8-inches, with a total length of
21-inches. The honing surface is very clean with very few nicks or abrasions
from someone being too enthused with the task at hand. The wooded grip is in
wonderful condition, as is the swivel ring attached to the end. Produced in the
USA by a company with a long standing reputation of quality. The blocks and
