Victorinox 10-inch Regular Cut Honing Steel, Dark Wood Handle

Unlike a sharpening stone, which removes metal to create a new edge, this Victorinox regular cut steel realigns the existing edge of a knife after it rolls over in use. The 10-inch rod gives room for long strokes on knives from a paring knife up to an 8-inch chef’s knife.

The dark wood handle has a guard between the hand and the rod and gives a classic look in a knife block or on a hook. The steel is made in the United Kingdom.

Hone before each use with light strokes on alternate sides. The regular cut works well on Victorinox knives such as the Hardwood 8-inch Chef’s Knife, whose steel responds quickly to honing.

Steel this length also hangs well on a hook at the station, where it is in reach for a few strokes between tasks.

For more length with the same handle, see the Victorinox 12-inch Fine Cut Honing Steel. Our Honing Rod Guide explains each cut.

    Victorinox Honing and Sharpening Steels

    Regular and fine cuts realign an edge during daily work; polishing steels burnish a fine edge; diamond and helical steels remove metal and are for setting or restoring an edge. Choose a steel about 2 inches longer than your longest knife. Our Honing Rod Guide explains each cut, and our Kitchen Knife Shapes guide covers the knives they maintain.

    How to Hone

    Hold the steel upright with the tip on a towel or board. Set the heel of the knife against the top of the rod at roughly 15 to 25 degrees and draw the blade down and toward you so the whole edge passes along the rod. Alternate sides for a few light strokes each; pressure does not help.


    Care

    • Wipe the rod clean after use and dry it before storing.
    • Hang it by its ring or store it in a block slot so the surface does not knock against other tools.
