This Victorinox Diamond Sharpening Steel is manufactured from Stainless Steel which is then encrusted with a Diamond Coating. This Sharpening Rod is manufactured for Victorinox in France and will ensure that your knives are always sharp. This well-proportioned 27.5 cm Diamond Sharpening Steel with a Half-Fine Grit gives good balance with a symmetrical Handle to avoid concentration of wear of the steel. Its oval shape offers the user more contact with the rod as he swipes the knife over the rod's surface.  This Diamond Steel will actually remove metal from the knife blade. It can quickly put an edge on a knife that cannot be sharpened with a regular Steel. Designed to meet the highest hygiene standards with a black resilient Polypropylene (PP) Handle and mounted with a Steel Ring for Hanging. Professionals and budding Chefs alike swear by Victorinox Sharpening Steels.

Tip: A Sharpening Rod's Length must be at least as long as the knife's blade, or ideally 5 cm longer, to function correctly. So if you have several knives, make sure that you choose a Steel that is at least a long as your largest knife blade.
