WÜSTHOF 9" Honing Steel

Works well

I'm very much new to quality knives and their care. This was very intuitive to use, and it does its job well. I use my knife fairly lightly compared to a true enthusiast, so I can't speak to long-term or heavy duty use. However, for a casual home cook that likes nice stuff, this is great.

I researched this honing rod and found that it is highly rated and recommended for carbon steel knives. I've been a knife sharpener for my father since I was 9 years old. He used fillet blades in his work. I know a good honing rod when I use it. I've my own knives and this sharpened them amazingly well. I've carbon and stainless alloy steel knives, this got them extremely sharp and is a superior rod. Highly recommended for kitchen to outdoor knives and carbon to stainless steel alloy knives. Awesome product!!

Steeling is important for maintaining the cutting edge of a knife. This one carries the Wüsthof brand name, but is priced considerably lower than some of their other steels. The steel portion measures approximately 9", and the handle about 4-3/4".The plastic handle is hard to the touch, but 'soft' in that it is easily cut, and will quickly melt if placed on a hot stove or surface. I do not know if it is dishwasher safe. The steel portion (the 'business end') worked well on a few different brands of knives I have, and confirmed to me that my old steel might be dull / worn out (?).The package sleeve has some German language on it, but is clearly marked 'Wüsthof USA' and 'Made in China'.Seems to be a good value for the price, and does the job intended.

Wanted a smaller honing steel that behaved like a full-sized honing steel. This 9" with striations does a great job straightening out blade and removing errant steel particles from knives. After correct use, knives clearly cut better. Can use weekly to keep blades in upright position. Not a substitute for sharpening stonesfrom Arkansas, but will keep knives in decent shape between sharpenings, every 3-4 months. Thank you.

good quality and works well

You won't believe how sharp your knife will be after you use this tool! I'm so pleased with the results. You will be too.

Easy to use

Excelente, super funcional y resistente

Super aiguiseur, solide et efficace. Les couteaux retrouvent rapidement leur tranchant. Produit de qualité, rien à redire.

Excelent product very nice quality

Having previously relied on a block knife sharpener and been warned against further regular use based on the risk of potentially damaging my knives, I did a little research into sharpening steels. Based on other reviews and articles the Wusthof Dreizack seemed to offer the best blend of value and effectiveness and the product has not disappointed. Never having used a steel before I am surprised at how easy it has been to restore the edge to my knives with little effort. The handle is easy to grip and solidly attached to the steel. As such, I can heartily recommend this product and it's encouraging to see others who have had prolonged use from their steel.
