Common questions

Sharpening steels
A steel realigns the fine edge of a knife between sharpenings, so the blade keeps cutting cleanly through a busy service; a few strokes before use are enough.

How is it used?
Hold the steel upright with its tip on a board and draw the blade down it at about 15 to 20 degrees, alternating sides, a few times.

Does it replace sharpening?
No; a steel keeps an edge aligned, and a blunt knife still needs a whetstone or sharpening service.

How is it cleaned?
Wipe it clean and dry after use; hand-wash rather than using the dishwasher.
