Wüsthof Classic Ikon 10-inch Honing Steel

Styled after the knives it serves, this Wüsthof Classic Ikon 10-inch honing steel matches their look and keeps their edges aligned between sharpenings. A few light strokes per side before cooking push the edge of the blade back to center, and the knife cuts cleanly again.

The 10-inch rod covers every knife in a Classic Ikon block, from the paring knife to the 9-inch chef’s knife and the bread knife. The handle carries the same contour and riveted styling as the knives, so it sits naturally in the steel slot of a block set.

For a knife that has gone dull, sharpen with the Wüsthof 10-inch ceramic sharpening rod or the two-stage hand-held sharpener. It is the steel included in the Classic Ikon 8-piece knife block set. For the Ikon blackwood line, see the Ikon 10-inch honing steel; the Knife Merchant honing steel guide shows the motion step by step.

    How to Hone

    • Hold the steel vertically with the tip on a towel or cutting board, and draw each side of the blade down the rod from heel to tip.
    • Alternate sides with light pressure; a few strokes per side are enough.
    • Keep the angle consistent. Wüsthof sharpens its standard blades to about 14 degrees per side, and a steel held at a similar angle maintains that edge.

    Care

    Wipe the rod with a damp cloth after use and dry it immediately. Do not put it in the dishwasher.
