Ergo Chef's 8-inch chrome steel honing rod or sharpening steel as it is also known, is designed to hone and sharpen blade edges. This honing rod straightens the burrs that appear on a knife's edge from regular and daily use. Honing a knife helps keep the knife performing well in between sharpening. Honing steels are used by placing the near edge of the blade against the base of the steel, then sliding the blade away from yourself along the steel while moving it down. The blade moves diagonally, while the steel remains stationary. This should be done with the blade held at an angle to the steel, usually around 18- 20-degrees and repeating on the opposite side at the same angle. Repeat five to ten times. Rod is knurled and plated and magnetized for durability and safety.
