Taylors Eye Witness Heritage Series Sheffield Made 25cm Sharpening Steel

Heritage Series Sharpening Steel

Put simply, a honing steel is a rod of material that is considerably harder than the blade it is designed to sharpen. Sheffield Made steels are made with very high carbon steel which can be heat treated to obtain the hardness required. A good quality honing steel acts to realign microscopic kinks, curls and folds that appear on a blade edge during normal use.

They aren’t designed to remove material from the blade, but act to restructure the grind profile for better cutting performance and longer lasting sharpness.
