Wüsthof honing steels

Features of Wüsthof honing steels

Wüsthof honing steels are easy to use and maintain. They are made from high-quality stainless steel and have ergonomic handles for a secure grip. A honing steel removes small burrs that develop after cutting, helping the knife glide more smoothly through ingredients again.

Wüsthof honing steel series

Wüsthof offers honing steels in various lengths and series, so there is a suitable model for your knives and kitchen style. For example, there is a Classic honing steel for the Classic series and even a matching Classic Ikon honing steel with a white handle for the Classic Ikon White.

Wüsthof honing steel or sharpening steel?

A sharpening steel removes a thin layer of steel and restores the V-shape of the cutting edge, making the knife sharp again. A honing steel, by contrast, only realigns the existing edge and removes burrs. That makes it perfect for daily maintenance. Explore all Wüsthof sharpening steels.

Maintenance and storage

Honing steels are easy to maintain. After use, simply clean yours with water and a little soap, then dry it thoroughly. Store it somewhere dry, such as in a knife block, on a magnet or in a kitchen drawer, to prevent damage to its surface. For the best results, combine regular use of a honing steel with occasional sharpening using a sharpening steel or sharpening stone. A Wüsthof honing steel helps your knife cut smoothly and last longer, ready for daily use.
