Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Wusthof 4455 10-Inch Sharpening Steel, Ceramic
Customer Review: Best darn knife steel ever
Summary: 5 Stars
I own two sets of Chef Knives. Cutco and Wusthof. Both are fine instruments but, neither hold an edge worth a darn. I've tried several "steels", including the "V" type ceramic sharpening blocks and the sharpening systems recomended by both companies.
I recieved a gift certificate for Christmas so I thought what the heck I'll buy the Wusthof 4455 10 inch sharpening Steel/Ceramic. It is the best investment I have made in a long time. This Ceramic steel works like a champ. I have used it on every knife I own including my bread knives. This Ceramic puts a factory edge on knives with little effort. A few swipes and you are good to go.
No Cons about it. I would recomend this to anyone. In fact I dumped my other steels and this is the only one in my kitchen.
Enjoy and watch your fingers.

Description of Wusthof 4455 10-Inch Sharpening Steel, Ceramic
When that time comes that you need to touch up the sharp edge of your Wusthof knife the 10" ceramic steel is a good option. The Wusthof 10 inch Ceramic steel can align your knife edge and unlike traditional steels, the Ceramic Steel also contains fine abrasives that will sharpen your knife as well as re-aligning the blade. Used like a traditional honing steel the ceramic is very fine and and can bring up a very fine edge.While most sharpening rods are only useful for realigning knife edges, those made of diamond dust or ceramic--as this rod is made of--actually do sharpen dull knives. An additional benefit to this sharpener?s ceramic shaft is that it never wears down as diamond coating eventually does. Simply hold the steel out in front of you and, with light pressure, draw the blade across the ceramic shaft from heel to tip at a 20-degree angle. Your blade should quickly be restored to its original sharpness. The sharpening steel offers medium to fine abrasion on knives and has a wide bolster to protect hands during the sharpening process. A polymer handle offers a comfortable grip and has a hole for hanging. The 10-inch length is sufficient for tackling all sizes of kitchen knives, from parers to slicers. --Cristina Vaamonde
