Ceramic honing steel – keeps knives sharper for longer
This 25 cm ceramic honing steel from Icel is designed to maintain and refresh the edge of your kitchen knives. With a solid construction and a specially developed ceramic surface, you can easily keep your knives in top condition between professional sharpenings. The honing steel weighs 180 grams and comes in a practical blue colour.
Ideal for daily maintenance of all types of kitchen knives, both in professional kitchens and at home.
Gentle and effective knife care
The ceramic surface on this honing steel works differently from traditional steel models. Whilst a metal honing steel primarily straightens the edge, the ceramic surface actually removes a minimal amount of metal to restore sharpness. This provides a gentler treatment of your knives, which is particularly beneficial for high-quality knives where you want to preserve the material for as long as possible. Ceramic is harder than steel but softer than diamond, providing the ideal balance between effectiveness and gentle care.
Extended lifespan for your knives
With regular use of this honing steel, you can significantly extend the time between professional sharpenings. This not only saves money on sharpening, but also preserves more of the knife's original material over time. For best results, use the honing steel with light, controlled strokes at a consistent angle. Four to six strokes are typically sufficient to refresh the edge of a knife that is beginning to lose its sharpness. The 25 cm rod gives ample room to work with knives of different sizes.
