WÜSTHOF 9" Honing Steel is a grooved, magnetic sharpening rod that realigns dull knife edges in seconds — the tool many chefs prefer over whetstones or slotted sharpeners for daily edge maintenance. It's a must for anyone who owns quality cutlery, priced at $17.50, down from $35.00. Buy online now and use coupon BENCH10 for an extra 10% off.
A few strokes per side before or after use keeps chef's knives, paring knives, and shears cutting at peak sharpness.
Pairs with any knife set — a 9" rod covers the full length of an 8" chef's knife with room to spare.
Honing steels realign edges; whetstones remove metal to restore fully dulled blades — you need both, and the steel is the affordable everyday tool. Compared to pull-through sharpeners, a grooved steel is gentler and extends blade life, protecting your knife investment.

A steel realigns the edge daily without removing metal; a whetstone restores fully dulled blades. Most chefs keep both — the steel is the everyday tool.
Yes — a 9" rod allows full-length strokes on an 8" chef's knife and works for paring knives and shears too.
The grooved rod improves sharpening ease and attracts loose metal fibers, while the slip-resistant textured handle keeps strokes safe and controlled.
Heavy, balanced, and the grooves actually grab the blade instead of skidding off it. Ten strokes per side and my chef's knife is back to shaving-paper sharp. The slip-resistant handle gives me confidence even with wet hands. For the price, this is a no-brainer.
I hone my kitchen knives once a week and this rod has been reliable for the past few months. It doesn't feel quite as premium as my old steel, but the edge results are just as good. Happy with it.
Great steel. Sharpens my knives beautifully every time.
Works fine on my paring and utility knives, but I wish I'd gone for a longer rod for my 10-inch chef's knife. The magnetic pull is a nice touch, and the handle grip is comfortable. Just measure your longest blade before ordering.
I've been cooking seriously for over thirty years and have owned a few steels in my time. This WÜSTHOF is easily the best of the lot. The grooved surface realigns the edge with minimal pressure, which matters when your hands aren't as strong as they used to be. The handle is easy to hold and the rod feels sturdy in the block. I use it every Sunday before meal prep and my knives have never stayed sharper. Highly recommend to anyone who takes their kitchen tools seriously.
The steel works fine when it does, but mine arrived with a slight bend I can see when rolling it on the counter. Hone action still works, so I'll keep it, but for a brand like this I expected better quality control.
Bought this to replace a cheap grocery-store steel that never seemed to do anything. The difference is night and day — the grooved rod actually bites the edge and the magnetic coating keeps fine metal dust down. Took a star off only because the hang loop feels a little flimsy. Otherwise a great little tool.
