FAQs

What knives can I use this honing steel with?
Suitable for most butcher knives including boning, slicing and breaking styles.

Is this the right size for a professional bench setup?
Yes — the 30 cm length provides good coverage for long and short blades.

Does it replace sharpening?
No. Honing maintains the edge between sharpenings; use a stone when the blade no longer responds to honing.

How often should I hone my knives?
Most butchers run their knife across a steel several times throughout the day to keep the edge in top condition.
