Easy way to keep your knives sharper longerThis is a great tool for helping maintain the edge and sharpness on your German or Japanese knives. Since this steel is for Kramer knives, it can be used for Japanese and German knives since the steel is hard enough for both types.

Perfect for everyday maintenanceThis is the perfect tool to maintain your knives on a regular basis. This is what keeps that nice, sharp edge. Honing is simply realigning the blade, unlike sharpening that takes metal off of your knife. I generally use this once every week or two, depending on what I've been cutting.
The 12" steel can handle any size blade including a big 10" chef knife.

Best Honing Steel Every Chef Should Have!This 12" Kramer double cut honing should be used regularly in between sharpening. This 12" double cut honing steel a maintenance tool to align the blade’s edge and says sharpened to it's angle. Its purpose is to align the blade’s edge and increase cutting efficiency. It is also recommended purchasing the super-eraser to clean any metal residue buildup.

Pro Level.This is a very long steel, much needed if you are honing long knives. It also have two both coarse and fine faces on the steel to sharpen and hone as the dullness of your blades dictate. It's a very good honing rod; the plastic handle is a high grade custom material that holds up to years of use and abuse.

Great for Knife CareI never knew how long I could go between knife sharpenings once I started using the honing steel on a regular basis. I also find that it is much easier to use my knives because they are so sharp.

Best honing rodI absolutely love this honing rod. I like the fact that it has two textures. Honing is easily performed with this model.

Maintain your knivesIf you have knives you should have a honing steel. Honing is not the same as sharpening but it is an important part of getting the best out of your knives on a regular basis. Imagine the fine edge of a knife after cutting through foods day in and day out, before it becomes dull that very sharp edge will become "bent" out of alignment. Using a honing steel will return your blade to it's proper alignment giving you the perfect fine edge use after use.

Worth Every PennyWhat a tool - the smooth and grooved steel provides such a valuable pair for honing your blades and getting the edge beautifully straight. The handle is very functional and the 12" of steel gives you the appropriate runway for consistent honing. Incredibly pleased with this purchase.
WHAT IS THE HARDNESS SPECIFICATION OF THIS Zwilling Kramer HONING STEEL? (I HAVE ONE AND IT WORKS FABULOUSLY WITH A KNIFE I HAD MADE FROM EXTREMELY HARD 420V STEEL.) IS THE “ZWILLING 12 INCH MAINTENANCE STEEL” SOFTER?

Thank you for contacting Zwilling
Yes, our KRAMER 12” DOUBLE CUT HONING STEEL will hone Western and Asian Blades. The double cut honing steel is used to hone while the Knife's sharp cutting edge is still performing well, this will help maintain a knife's cutting edge between sharpening. The Steel features two rough sides for honing and two smooth sides for polishing.
We hope this helps!
Regards,
Zwilling
