Honing steel, 30 cm, Victorinox, steel, oval

Oval honing steel for long-lasting knife sharpness

This oval 30 cm honing steel from Victorinox is made from quality steel with an ergonomic black plastic handle. Its oval shape and fine honing surface are designed to maintain and revive the knife edge, keeping your knives sharp for longer without frequent sharpening. The honing steel removes minimal material from the blade whilst effectively realigning the edge.

Ideal for professional chefs, butchers and food enthusiasts who want to keep their knives in optimal condition with minimal effort.

Precise maintenance of the knife edge

The oval shape provides a larger contact area against the knife edge, meaning more effective maintenance with fewer strokes. The extra-fine cut of the steel ensures that you remove as little material as possible from the knife, instead straightening out microscopic irregularities on the edge. This significantly extends the knife's service life, as you less frequently need to sharpen the knife thoroughly. The handle is designed to provide a secure grip during use, even if your hands are wet or greasy.

How to get the most out of your honing steel

For best results, only 4–6 strokes with moderate pressure are needed. Hold the honing steel vertically with the tip resting on a stable surface and draw the knife at an angle of approximately 20 degrees down along the steel, alternating on each side. This technique realigns the edge without removing too much material. With regular use after each cooking session, you can significantly reduce the need for professional sharpening and always have sharp knives ready to use.
