Buy Edgeware Standard Sharpening Steel

Customer Ratings:

This doesn't actually take metal off your knife or scratch the metal, so I use it on my pretty and expensive knifes. It will straighten out the edge, much like a leather strop would only more aggressively.

My problem with diamond steels is that while they work well, they will actually remove metal and scratch up the edge of the knife. I would rather maintain the straight edge with this type of steel and actually use a sharpening stone when I want to sharpen the knife, because I can go up to a higher grit stone and polish the knife. Also, it is easier to do a better job on a stone as you are working on a stationary surface and not waving both hands around.

Great for knife maintenance, at a great price. Use it to hone all my knives about once a week. Minimizes the need for sharpening, prolonging the life of the blades.

It does the job at a good price. Seems well made. Not much else I can say about it. If it lasts it's a great deal.

Honest reviews on Edgeware Standard Sharpening Steel

This is my first sharpening steel, and I used it for a couple knives that I was given for Christmas (11 months ago) that had become quite gnarly.

Directions for use are right on the label, and by following them I was able to refine the blade of both knives within a couple minutes.

I did subtract one star from the product for build quality, though. The handle is very cheap feeling, and has jagged edges on it as if it came out of a mold and was never polished/buffed. Nothing major, but I did feel it was worth noting.

Bottom line: I am very happy with the purchase, and I can see myself using it for many years to come.

I've tried several of these over the years and some of the more expensive ones have ended up in the trash, especially the ceramic models. The handle and guard are comfortable and well designed. Love the hanging hook. It also puts the blade back in true with just a few swipes. You can't ask for more than that.
