Oval titanium honing steel – keeps knives sharper for longer
This oval titanium honing steel from Fischer-Bargoin is designed to keep your knives sharp and functional. With a length of 30 cm, it provides ample room to perform correct strokes, and the oval shape ensures effective maintenance of the knife edge. The titanium material delivers a durable, hard surface that helps straighten the blade's edge.
Ideal for both professional chefs and food enthusiasts who want to maintain the sharpness of their knives between professional sharpenings.
Maintain your knives between sharpenings
A honing steel is not a whetstone, but a maintenance tool. When you use a knife, the microscopic edge gradually bends over time. The honing steel helps to realign this edge so the knife feels sharp again. The oval design provides a larger contact surface against the blade, making the process more effective. With its titanium surface, you get a harder finish than traditional honing steels, delivering better results with regular use.
Correct technique produces better results
The 30 cm rod gives you plenty of room to perform long, perpendicular strokes, which is essential for achieving the best result. You only need 4–6 strokes to maintain the knife. Avoid pressing the knife hard against the steel – focus instead on the correct technique. Regular use of the honing steel extends the time between professional sharpenings and keeps your knives in top condition for everyday use. Weighing 490 grams, the honing steel offers excellent balance and stability during use.

Frequently asked questions
How often should I use my honing steel?
For best results, it is recommended to use the honing steel after each time you have used the knife, or at the very least when you notice the knife beginning to lose its sharpness.
Can the honing steel replace professional sharpening?
No, the honing steel only realigns the knife edge. Over time, knives will still require professional sharpening to restore their fundamental sharpness.
