447032 | Honing Steel | 32 cm | Round

Wüsthof honing steel with a 32 cm round cross-section and a synthetic handle: 48.4 cm overall length, 437 g, for maintaining the edges of knives with longer blades.

The 32 cm round Wüsthof honing steel is recommended for knives with longer blades, such as chef's or slicing knives. The working length of the rod is enough to draw the whole blade along it in a single stroke, which allows more even and precise edge maintenance. With an overall length of 48.4 cm and a weight of 437 g, the added mass gives a stable grip and controlled movement. It is ideal for regular, preventive honing; for badly blunted blades a more abrasive tool is the better choice.

Additional manufacturer information:

A honing steel for keeping knives excellently sharp. Even high-quality knives such as Wüsthof knives gradually lose their edge during use; a honing steel can be used regularly to compensate for this. Drawing both sides of the knife across the steel with a few strokes keeps the blade sharp. To restore the sharpness of particularly blunt knives, a diamond or ceramic honing rod is recommended.
