Beautiful

The craftsmanship used in this product is clearly evident. The birchwood is beautiful. It has a heaviness to it which helps with the stability. I would absolutely reccomend.

Not for Beginner

I thought this would just work, but it left scratches on my Birchwood knives. It requires skills to use this tool.. Now I can use this well, but this is definitely not for beginners.

great results

This is the ultimate in edge maintenance. The tungsten rod puts the best edge on even the hardest of steels. The Birchwood handle is smoothe and being natural material each one is unique.

Must Have

I recently purchased the Birchwood 8" chef's knife and added the Birchwood Sharpening Steel. This steel is tungsten which is an extremely hard metal which slightly sharpens as well as hones the blade. The Birchwood cutlery blades are made from SG2 steel, which means you really need a very hard Sharpening Steel in order to account for the hardness. This steel is perfect for Japanese steels, but can also be used for Western and German cutlery. This is now the only Sharpening Steel I use in the kitchen.
