Professional Honing Steel 10”, Magnetized for Safety, No Rust, No Cheap Plastic! Noble’s Knife Sharpener Has an Oval Handle for a Firm Grip and is Built For Daily Use, Perfect for Chefs!

I had no idea I even needed one of these. I thought it was just something fancy for serious cooks. Boy was I wrong! It makes a huge difference, but is so easy and quick to use. The handle is easy to hold and matches the knives in my knife block. The hand guard is substantial enough to protect myself from my own clumsiness.

Don’t expect to be able to put a new edge on your knives with this. It’s for honing. If you’re working with an already-dull blade, it probably won’t do much for you. Use this to maintain and prolong the life of your edge.I’ve been using this for a couple months now, and my heavily-used chefs knife still cuts like it’s brand new. Just a few quick swipes every time before I use my knives.

Easy to use

Works as advertised.

Nice looking good tool

Used it immediately on a somewhat dull knife. Really sharpened it up.

Sus acabados son muy buenos

You definitely get what you pay for. Don't get me wrong, it's great for honing knives! Just not as many as I thought as it's already worn smooth.

The honing steel does the job, my knives are noticeably sharper after 10-15 strokes on each side.One small annoyance is that it came in a white flimsy cardboard box, not at all what is shown in the photo.A much bigger problem is the hand guard - it is minuscule, it will not protect your hands at all. The last thing to note is that 10" size refers to the entire metal portion of the sharpener, not the usable area; the actual part that works is less than 9"; it's not a big deal, but keep that in mind.

I've had this a few weeks now and it's a vast improvement over my older one that had worn out. Hones/staightens the blade with only a few pulls.My older model had a thicker handle and I'm still adjusting to this one. Not much difference with shorter knives but I notice it with longer knives that my older one was easier to hold/control.Overall though this is very good and I'd recommend.

Usually, I have some issue when I receive a product but this one is better than I expected. It feels solid in my hand and seems to effortlessly hone the knife as I pass it lightly across the steel.To quote Gordon Ramsay, "Brilliant!"

Vraiment un bon achat. Se tient bien, la poignée n'est pas grosse, longueur pour affûter 10 pouces, belle qualité des matériaux. Reçu depuis 2 semaines et je m'en sers régulièrement. Comment sera-t-il dans un an? A suivre...

I don't know anything about these, so I guess my opinion shouldn't count for much, but it seems to be good quality (sturdy).
