Description:

The butcher steel is often mistaken for a sharpener, but its true purpose is to hone the blade. Diamond-sharpened blades remove material to create new teeth. The butcher steel is a maintenance tool meant to be utilized frequently to keep your knives in excellent condition. Think of using it like brushing your teeth daily, whereas sharpening knives should be a rare, annual task. Consistent honing will delay the need to sharpen your knives for an extended period. Proper honing is essential for maintaining your knives' edge, making them operate like new without frequent sharpening. With a blade length of 12 inches and an overall length of 16.5 inches, this tool is ideal for professional settings such as hotels, restaurants, or catering services.
