This is a high quality sharpening steel. It has very good weight to it and honed my chef's knife very well. The handle has a hook for easy hanging. Great product!

It works great for sharpening knives, but sadly it's just too heavy to fit on a magnetic knife rack. I wish I would've realized this before purchasing, as I probably would've chosen a slightly more expensive 10" steel instead.

This knife steel restores a knife's sharp edge and is very durable. Cleans easily and has a great hand feel when honing your knife. This is a must have knife in every chefs tool kit.

A great size honing steel, and an important addition to any kitchen with knives in it. This does a good job of keeping our knives sharp between uses and extends the life between regular sharpenings.

This product has saved us on professional sharpening charges. Although not everyone has got the knack for using it, but those who have can put a great edge on our cutlery and I just have them do it on a regular basis. I highly suggest this product if you have cutlery.

This steel removes metal and trues the edge and then puts a scary edge to any knife, stright edge. I test my blades by drawing the edge across a folded napkin.

Easy to use does a great job of keeping the edge the steel it’s made out of is not the highest quality as the edge smoothies pretty quickly our in-house butcher goes through about one every six months but he’s cutting meat 40 hours a week so he uses it quite often we keep additional ones on the hotline it’s a great tool to have in the kitchen

My six year old other brand sharpens better, so spend the extra money and buy something better. This does not work at all, my knives are still dull after using this steel

This is a heavy sharpening steel that puts a very sharp edge on large cutlery. It is long enough to use on any kitchen knife...even the 12 inch chef knives. Its weight makes for easier control and minimizes any awkward positioning when sharpening a favored knife. The bargain price makes this an unbeatable tool for the serious home chef.

I don't know about you but I can't stand dull knives. It drives me nuts and every time I have ever cut myself it has been with a dull knife. This 12" steel is perfect for keeping the knife sharp. Every few times I pick up the knife I like to sharpen it so the edge stays sharp. With this steel I have knives that are always ready to cut.

This is a solid honing steel. I have a much more expensive german one, but this 12" round is the one I reach for more often. It feels heavy duty, but isn't so heavy that it's tough to wield easily. The hand guard at the bottom has saved me from more than a few cuts, as well.

I love this steel. It has a good heft so you can maintain good control without wearing yourself out. The sharpening surface makes for a nice sharp edge on your knife with just a few strokes. My kitchen runs so much better when knives are sharp. The price will allow you to have several without killing your budget. The size is convenient for storage.

This sharpening steel is awesome; the length of the steel is perfect and the whole unit has a nice weight to it. For the price I don't think you can get a better sharpening steel.
