12-Inch High Carbon Steel Sharpening Steel

This Crestware sharpening steel measures 12 inches and is built from high carbon steel for durability. It is designed for home cooks and professional chefs who need to maintain a keen edge on kitchen knives. The black finish adds a neutral look that suits any kitchen environment.

Capacity and headroom for regular honing

The 12-inch length provides enough surface to hone most chef knives, boning knives and utility blades in a few strokes. It realigns the edge rather than removing metal, so it extends the time between full sharpenings. Very large cleavers or specialty blades longer than the steel may not receive full contact along their entire edge.

Black handle and material benefits

The black handle offers a secure grip during use and resists visible staining from food oils. High carbon steel construction resists wear from repeated honing sessions, keeping the rod effective over time. No additional accessories or software are included with this single tool.
