Noble's Professional 12 Honing Steel: Magnetized, No Rust, Oval Handle for Chefs

Product Description A sharper knife is actually safer, despite what you might think! A dull knife can lead to bad cutting habits, such as using excessive hand pressure and movements that increase the risk of accidents. Keeping our blades sharp is essential to maintaining safety in the kitchen.

So, how do we achieve this? First, it's important to understand the difference between honing and sharpening your knife blade.

Honing Rods vs. Knife Sharpeners Knife sharpeners remove metal from the blade to sharpen it, which means most home cooks shouldn't sharpen their knives more than two or three times a year due to the amount of metal removed. What is often mistaken for needing to be sharpened may actually just require honing, which realigns the knife edge and removes dullness without removing too much of the blade itself. Honing should be done regularly to correct microscopic blade folds created during use.

What Sets Noble Home and Chef Honing Rods Apart Our honing rods are magnetized to prevent metal particles from becoming airborne or ingested, and are made of hardened carbon steel for strength and durability against strong knives. They are also chromium plated to prevent corrosion and rust, and feature an oval handle for a sturdy, firm grip, as well as a designer handle for added class in the kitchen. Dishwasher safe and built to last for years, our honing rods are made of high-quality materials carefully chosen for their reliability and performance.

How to Use Your Honing Rod The angle at which you hone your knife is important, as honing at the wrong angle can actually make your knife less effective. It's recommended to hone your knife at a 15-20 degree angle to maintain optimal sharpness. Our honing rod dimensions are 17.25 inches in full length, with a steel length of 12 inches and a handle length of 5 inches. The magnetized feature of our honing rods is designed to ensure safety by preventing metal particles from being inhaled or landing on nearby food. Additionally, the honing rod is dishwasher safe for easy cleaning.

What's in the Box? Each package includes one Noble Home & Chef Honing Rod (Knives Not Included).

In conclusion, a sharp knife is critical for safe and efficient food preparation, and our honing rods are designed to keep your knives in optimal condition for years to come.
