J.A. HenckelsHENCKELS International Forged Synergy 9" Stainless Steel Sharpening Steel

Got this after a seriouseats review. Good size, seems easy to handle. Still new to knife sharpening so it’s hard to say how well it works.

Great product

Highly recommended by others. I have several sharp edge knives for Komado Joe Smoker. Effortlessly slices thru brisket

Quality product

The product was built nicely and performed well in sharpening my knives back to performance.

Sharpening steel

Has a large handle to easily grip and control. Sharpens quickly and easily.

It helps

I didn’t realize that the sharpening steel isn’t actually for sharpening as many think. It’s a tool to use in between sharpening. I wish I knew that. I wish my friends also knew because they mailed me this sharpening steel as a gift for my new knives. I need a whetstone to sharpen. You will too. I used the sharpening steel and yes, it did help. But just don’t expect the sharpening steel to sharpen as its not what it’s really for.

Excellent quality

Very good quality. Easy to use. Sleek design and very robust.

Knife sharpener

Looks easy to use may take some time to master but the instructions for use are easy to understand

Perfect for my new Le Blanc set!

Just remodeled our kitchen and decided to switch to the Le Blanc series. This steel works as well as my prior black-handled one but goes better with my new white set.
