Small, handy sharpening steel with a ring for fastening, ideal for traveling, camping, hunting, or even in the kitchen etc.
A sharpening steel is not used for sharpening, but rather for straightening the knife edge. If you use a freshly sharpened knife, microscopic bumps or burrs can form during use. A sharpening steel straightens these - without removing any material. Therefore, a dull knife cannot be sharpened with a sharpening steel. For this purpose, you need sharpening tools such as a knife sharpener, sharpening rod or whetstone.
We recommend using a sharpening steel before each use of the knife. This ensures that the cutting edge is always straightened and stays sharp for longer - meaning you need to sharpen less often. It contributes to efficient edge maintenance without the effort and time required for a sharpening process. A sharpening steel is really only an advantage if you use your knife very frequently. As soon as the edge has become significantly blunt and a sharpening steel is no longer sufficient, you should use a knife sharpener, sharpening rod or whetstone to restore the original edge. Supplied with a leather sheath.
