In order to sharpen a knife, the steel must have a hardness factor greater than the knife to be sharpened; with a Rockwell hardness factor of 66 degrees, Henckels sharpening steels are harder than even super hard Henckels FRIODUR, ice-hardened blades. To easily sharpen a knife, hold the steel point down on a table or cutting board, at an angle between knife and steel of 20 degrees, pull the knife down and across the sharpening steel in a slight arc. Alternate between right and left sides of the knife 3 to 4 times. All steels are magnetic to hold small particles removed from the knife blade and are made of chrome-plated carbon steel. A sharp knife will provide maximum safety. Use the sharpening steel regularly, preferably every other time the knife is used | | | Features: | |
• 12-inch steel realigns knives' blade-edges
• Long enough to hone all knives
• Hanging loop on black poly handle and finger-guard
• Wipe with dry cloth, if necessary
• Lifetime warranty against defects

Knives are sharperAug 16, 2010
My knives are sharper and this thing is huge. It just does fit in my drawer and the knives do take less time to sharpen. It also makes an excellent pointer. :)

A Great BuyJan 27, 2010
The steel is nice and long. The handle is very comfortable. It puts a nice edge on all my knives.
Wonderful steelNov 01, 2009
This is a wonderful steel. It is long enough to let me hone my larger knifes. I really enjoy its quality and the ring that it produces is delightful.

Excellent ProductApr 27, 2009
What more can I say and Henkel stands behind their products. I purchased a set of Henkel EverStar (never need sharpening ) knives that in the 1990's were top of the line and very expensive. Well then went dull. I contacted Henkel in 2008 expecting to get the run around or "Where is your receipt from 13 years ago. To my surprise the US rep's manager wrote me back to pick you a new set, send me the dull blades and they would replace it all. AND THEY DID!!! I purchased this sharpening blade and when they sent me the replacement knives that did nee sharpening, they sent a sharpening blade also at no charge.
Now this is a reputable company.

A MUST ADD to your Kitchen CollectionAug 29, 2008
This is the Mack DADDY of sharpeners. I put this next to the one I have been using for the past several years and the Henckel steel puts mine to shame. It is thicker and longer than my old one (get your minds out of the gutter).
I thought about getting one of those 2 or 3 stage sharpeners where you slide the knife through. I am sure those work. I really wanted to learn how to properly sharpen a knife. I went to J.A. Henckel's website where they have several "HOW TO" videos. The one I viewed was how to sharpen knives the correct way. I practiced for about an hour on an old dull knife lying in the drawer.
Once I recieved this sharpener, I grabbed my Henckel Pro S Santoku knife I bought a few days ago and introduced it with this new Twin Pro Steel. It has brought my knife back to life and I have only used the knife a few times!!
Words of Wisdom: SHARPEN YOUR KNIFE BEFORE AND AFTER YOU USE IT. This will prolong the life of the knife and your enjoyment of cutting; for example cutting through "not yet ripe" tomatoes. That will put a smile on your face :)
I am now a "rehabilitated newie" home cook who enjoys spending time in the kitchen preparing meals thanks to great equipment.
