THE KNIVES EXPERTS RELY ON

Made in Germany, ZWILLING Professional S knives are precision forged from special-formula steel that has been perfected over almost 300 years. Hand-finished by the most skilled artisans, these ultra-durable knives offer excellent edge retention thanks to the 57 Rockwell hardness.

RESILIENT BLADE

German-made knives stay sharper longer, have remarkable corrosion resistance, and offer superior resilience.

COMFORTABLE HANDLE

The traditional, triple-rivet handle provides easy maneuverability and is contoured for comfort in the hand.

FULLY FORGED

The forged bolster offers enhanced durability, control and balance, and acts as a finger guard to ensure safe cutting.

ZWILLING Edge Maintenance 30-cm_12.00-inch 12-inch, Professional Sharpening Steel black is rated 4.7 out of 5 by 51.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Anonymous from Very smooth texture- does not have deep grooves I trust Zwilling and have enjoyed using your Professional S knives ....I wore out the original one and a Henckels second one This one appears to be very smooth without the texture of the prior sharpening steels Over time, I may change my opinion....but for now feel it’s middle of road and not to the level of my Professional S 7 inch Chefs knife

Rated 5 out of 5 by CookinginCali from Good length, good handle This steel is used in many professional kitchens. It is hefty - weighty with a slightly larger handle for bigger hands. The weight helps with stability. I like the length. I can get the full length of the blade covered in one stroke for most of my knives. Very durable. Will hold up to heavy daily use, so will last a long time in a home kitchen. Ring at the end of the handle is for hanging it in a convenient place, since you'll want to use it everyday.

Rated 5 out of 5 by HomeCook5 from Every kitchen needs this This is a really nice honing steel I use this one for all my Zwilling knives and I'm always amazed at how sharp they stay. This does not replace your annual sharpening but keeping your fine edges in alignment ensures they give you the best daily performance. If you're uncertain about how to properly use this just look at a video on line and you'll be easily doing it in no time!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Niner2015 from Great tool to hone your knives Great and easy way to keep your knives sharp longer. With the honing steel, you can keep the edge on your knives for much longer, and you won’t have to worry about sharpening your knives as much. Perfect for any German stainless steel knife. Nice handle on the steel as well, provides easy and sercure comfort as you use the steel to hone your knives.

Rated 5 out of 5 by bourbonbb from Keep Your Knives Sharp! The honing steel will realign your knife edge bringing it back to that "out of the box" sharpness. You should use this any time your knife isn't cutting the way you want it to, although some use it every time they cut. The beauty of a honing steel is that you can't do it too much; it doesn't take metal off of your knife. It's simple to do but a video on the website really helps. This 12" steel can handle up to a 10" knife. Remember, dull knives are more dangerous than sharp ones.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Jadey1 from If you want your knives to stay sharp, you need to use a honing steel as often as possible. I keep mine out whenever I cut, and will run my knife up and down the steel every time it seems to dull. This is a fabulous honing steel. Nice 10" length, easily handles long or short sized blades. The handle is extremely comfortable and durable, fits my small hand as well as my husband's larger sized hands. One of the most important tools I own.

Rated 5 out of 5 by CookinginCali from Favored by pros This 12-inch steel will handle any length knife in one smooth stroke. The heftier handle is designed for folks accustomed to the weight. The ridges on the handle are a help when hands are wet. The loop at the end is there to hang the steel from the prep table or on the wall. Made in Germany of quality durable steel. Will last, even with heavy daily use.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Annabella from Quality Product This is a quality sharpening steel. I had an older, cheaply made one from years ago that was rusty and so I purchased this looking for a good sharpening steel for my new Zwilling Pro Chef knife. The first thing I noticed was the weight. This is much heavier than my previous sharpening steel. It does the job and I know this product will last!

Is this recommended for use with the Miyabi Koh chef knife and Zwilling Twin Signature 5.5 inch prep knife? If not what product is best for routine (daily/weekly) edge maintenance for each of those knives?

Asked by: Daiyana

For the Twin Signature Yes, however the Miyabi Koh has a 61 Rockwell hardness. This would call for a matching Honing Steel.

Does this fit in the steel spot on the 38449-220 block?

Asked by: Chrriss

No, the Rod will be too talk. It will go into the top left slot, but will be too tall
