It makes my knives cut more accurately.

Had a bit of an obsession recently in trying to get my kitchen knives back to their ‘as new’ sharpness - lockdown boredom I guess. I ditched the pull through sharpener and went for a whetstone. Even with a fairly good technique, my knives still weren’t quite as sharp as I was expecting but then I stumbled across a video talking about the importance of a honing steel. My Mum has always had one and I thought it was just a rubbish sharpener but they’re actually to align the microscopic edge of the blade. Somewhat dubious, I went for this steel as it was reasonably priced with good reviews. Well... it’s the best purchase I’ve made in a long time. It’s really solid and with literally two passes of the knives on each side I now have razor sharp knives again. Use it before I chop something in the kitchen and the knives never feel dull. I’ll have to use the whetstone in a couple of weeks to touch up the knife edge but this steel will make that need must less frequent! Just to clarify through, this is not a sharpener - if your blade is blunt then it will not reshape the edge. It’s to maintain the sharpness of an existing good edge.

Does the job well.

I was using a generic honing steel before and now I really got to see the difference after purchasing this. It sharpens my chef knife quite nicely. Its compact and not too heavy, so its easy to handle. Value for money too.
