Victorinox 14-inch Regular Cut Honing Steel

The Victorinox 14-inch regular cut steel maintains a knife’s sharp edge when it is used regularly. A honing steel does not sharpen knives; it realigns the edge of the blade so it cuts cleanly again.

The 14-inch length suits the longest knives in a meat room, such as a 12-inch scimitar or the Fibrox Pro 14-inch Slicer, where a shorter steel cannot cover the whole edge in one stroke.

It is made in England. Wash it by hand and dry it before storing.

Keep it on a hook at the cutting table, where it is in reach between primals. A long steel also suits a shared station, since every knife on the table fits it.

Hold the steel upright with the tip on a towel and draw the knife down and toward you, alternating sides. For a finer surface at this length, see the Victorinox 14-inch Fine Cut Honing Steel. Our Honing Rod Guide compares the cuts.

    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.
