Very nice instrument for my beautiful new Zwilling Henckells knives. I'm new with this tool, followed the videos for proper use. Had always used sharpening stones before. Now I know this is necessary for keeping the blade in line, and in tune. I am enjoying using it, and my knives are in great shape. I can always trust the Zwilling name. thanks.

I wish I knew this kind of device existed before! It does a great job sharpening my knives. The video on the website is very helpful to get started. The description of tue item mentioned its oval shape. Well it’s not. Don’t be too surprised!

This 12 inch rod, is perfect for honing and easily removes niches and scratches on the blade. The oval design, allows for greater surface area, achieving excellent results with far fewer strokes. This is a must for anyone serious about keeping their knives sharp and ready to use. Haven't had to have my knives sharpened in almost a year, since learning how to properly use this steel. Worth the effort, and plenty of on line tutorial videos available.
