Great sturdy honing steel the rounded steel makes it easier to get the edges of my knives.

This sharpening steel has been a great addition to my kitchen. It’s easy to use and does a good job of keeping my knives feeling sharp between actual sharpenings. The 12-inch length is nice because it gives me plenty of room to work with, especially on larger knives. It feels sturdy and well-made, and the handle is comfortable to grip. I also like that it came with my ZWILLING set because it’s something I probably wouldn’t have thought to purchase separately. It won’t replace having your knives professionally sharpened or using a true knife sharpener when they’re really dull, but for regular maintenance, it works well. Overall, a solid, useful kitchen tool.

High quality! The perfect size with a great contact and edge. This has an excellent handle for effortless strokes. The swivel hook is a very useful feature. A great upgrade to the one included in the Professional S set.

This is a great product. Works really well and lasts for a long time. Worth it.

I'd never had any idea of how to use one of these, so I watched a video. Now I don't have a dull knife in the house, from paring knife to machete. We'd always had a Zwilling knife and steel in the house as far as I remember. Mine didn't get the tag with the twins.
