ZWILLING 32542-310-0 Oval Sharpening Steel, 31 cm

Sharpening steel. Even a good knife loses sharpness over time. But it's easy to resharpen a knife if you have the right tool and know how to use it. Sharpening steel - easy to resharpen For sharpening steels, four different types of material are usually used: Chrome-plated Sharpening steels with chrome-plated, ribbed abrasion body ensure a good degree of resharpening and are relatively resistant to damage. Ceramic. Sharpening steels with a ceramic abrasive body sharpen gently and gently. However, the ceramic blade is shock sensitive. If it falls down, it may be damaged. With increasing use, the ceramic becomes more abrasive. However, this can be easily removed with the rough side of a washing sponge. Diamond. Sharpening steels with a diamond-coated blade are characterised by a particularly fine resharpening effect. However, the diamond coating wears out over time, so the average life is lower than chrome plated sharpening steels. Tungsten Carbide Sharpening steels whose blade is coated with tungsten carbide are durable and suitable for all knives. They have been specially developed for knives with a hardness of 60 HRC and are very resistant to wear. Sharpening steel plastic handle oval, 315 mm
