Description of Wüsthof Classic Ikon White - Honing Steel 10"
Essential to keep your knives in top condition, periodically passing your knives along a honing steel realigns the "teeth" along the cutting edge of the blade for optimum cutting performance. The hard chromium plated steel is triple-riveted to the incredibly durable handle.With constant use, any knife edge will lose its "bite". The edge consists of tiny teeth which must be restored and re-aligned for maximum cutting performance.
To sharpen a knife using a honing steel:.
1. Hold the steel in your left hand and place the knife heel with your right hand on the upper end of the steel.
2. With the edge on the steel, tilt the back of the blade about 1/4" away from the steel. The resulting angle should be 20°.
3. Maintaining this angle, move the blade in an arching motion from heel to tip over the front steel surface toward the guard, as if you were to slice into the steel, with very little pressure. Repeat this step 6 - 8 times.
4. Repeat step 3 over the back steel surface 6 - 8 times.
5. Now alternate each stroke on the front and back steel surface to remove any burrs.
6. Your knife edge should be perfectly sharp again. After lengthy use, it may become necessary to have your knife's geometry restored by a professional grinding service.
