Victorinox 12-inch Regular Cut Honing Steel, Black Handle

Over hundreds of cuts, the very edge of a knife rolls to one side and the knife stops biting into food. The Victorinox 12-inch regular cut honing steel realigns that edge with a few light strokes, restoring cutting performance without removing metal the way a sharpener does.

The 12-inch rod is long enough for 10-inch chef’s knives and slicers and for butchery knives such as the Fibrox Pro 10-inch Scimitar, so the whole edge passes along the steel in one stroke.

Hone before each work session, with the tip of the steel resting on a towel. Light, even strokes on alternate sides do more than heavy ones.

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

For a finer surface at this length, see the Victorinox 12-inch Fine Cut Honing Steel. The Victorinox 12-inch Combination Steel adds a polishing face. 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.
