WUSTHOF Sharpening Steel Oval Rod With Diamond Coating 26cm

All steel kitchen knives need to be sharpened periodically in order to keep their razor sharp edges at their best. To do so, many butchers and professional cooks use a sharpening steel to recover the sharpness of their knives, but if what they are looking for is an ultimate level of sharpening, then they use sharpening steels with diamond coating. This is why the Wusthof Diamond Sharpening Steel 26cm is a must-have for professional cooks and an indispensable tool in every kitchen.

This sharpening steel has an oval rod that is covered with a diamond coating that gives the steel greater hardness and strength. This enables the sharpening process to be finer, so that your knives end up with an exceptionally sharp edge.

As a general rule, a sharpening steel is suitable for knives with blades that are equal or shorter than the length of the sharpening steel’s rod. Therefore, this Wusthof diamond sharpening steel is meant to be used with knives that have blades that are 26cm or shorter.

Despite being a kitchen tool commonly thought to be only for professional cooks, this sharpening steel  is very easy to master, so with a bit of practice, it could also be used by hobby and home cooks. It has a black, synthetic handle with an ergonomic design that fits perfectly in your hand, so you can feel at ease when using this sharpening steel.

To get the best result out of using this sharpening steel, you have to follow some steps that become super easy after some little practice.  You have to hold the steel vertically in one hand while resting the end of the rod on a secure surface. Then, you have to angle the blade of the knife and pass the edge of the blade along the steel in continuous “sweeping” repetitions.
