# Honing Steel - Made In

Designed for use with all non-serrated knives, the Honing Steel is the assistant you need to keep your knives maintained, sharpened, and perfectly aligned.

A dull knife is a dangerous one. Keep your knife edge maintained, straight, and perfectly aligned with the Honing Steel, featuring a built-in angle guide.  

## Description

Honing is used to maintain, straighten, and realign the sharp edge of your knife, which can bend and warp over time and with frequent use. This differs from sharpening, which removes tiny fibers along the edge of your blade, essentially shaving it to create a new edge. Honing can be done much more frequently than sharpening—up to every time you use your knife.



Our Honing Steel features a finely textured grit and a comfortable black POM handle with a built-in angle guide to help achieve universal angles for both Eastern (15 degrees) and Western (20 degrees) knives.



The Honing Steel itself is made of Tungsten Steel, which is often compared to natural diamond and is prized for its wear resistance, strength, and durability. The Honing Steel can be used on all knives without a serrated edge.
