Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of J.A. Henckels Twin Four Star 10-Inch Honing Steel
Customer Review: It's Just a Honing Steel
Summary: 2 Stars
Make sure to read what Amazon's editorial reviewer says. Most people think that "sharpening" steels sharpen. They don't. They hone or straighten the edge. For a dull blade, you need a good diamond-impregnated steel. After I got one of the latter, I hardly ever use the Henckels steel. Henckels knives have a pretty hard edge which, in my experience, tends to dull more than bending. The Henckels honing steel will sharpen the knife, but only slightly, and the ridges in the steel will quickly wear out if you use it for this purpose.Customer Review: HENCKELS - THE REAL CUTTING EDGE!
Summary: 5 Stars
Most of us know the importance of sharp knives for proper food preparation and gracious serving. Of course, I had to learn the hard way - by mashing a tomato instead of chopping it, by "sawing" a roast rather than slicing it, and by cutting and pulling off a plump roast turkey leg rather than carving it. Those are just a few of the reasons I'm such a fan of my Henckels Sharpening Steel. After trying both a stone and steel, the steel is my favorite for ease of use and appearance. This steel is not only utilitarian but handsome with a ribbed handle that's easy to hold and silvertone handle guard and hanging ring. First off, a good way to test whether or not your knives are sharp is to hold a piece of paper by the top corner and then attempt to "slice" it. If knives won't do this - head for the steel! You'll be amazed - sometimes it takes only a few strokes on the steel to make your knife sharp, sharper, then sharpest. Remember to place the metal end of the steel on a sturdy surface, such as a butcher block table or cutting board then position the base of the blade on the steel and begin. This Henckels sharpening steel is certainly a cut above any other. - Gail CookeCustomer Review: Helps left handed users
