How to Use the WÜSTHOF Classic IKON Honing Steel
Hold the steel vertically with the tip resting on a towel on your counter. Place the heel of the knife blade against the steel at roughly a 15–20 degree angle just below the guard. Draw the blade down and toward you in a smooth arc so the entire edge contacts the steel, finishing at the tip. Repeat 4–6 times per side, alternating sides. The double bolster design adds balance, making the steel steadier and easier to control during the stroke.
Why Regular Honing Matters
Honing re-aligns the microscopic teeth along the blade edge that dull with use. Regular honing maximizes the time between full sharpenings and keeps knives performing like new.
