    Very nice Sharpening Steel for your knives. I had some old dull knives that I used on this and had great results from it.

    Relatively new to the kitchen, I hadn't yet bought a sharpening steel for my santoku knives. After getting this steel, the knives are very sharp again. It seems to have done the job as I hoped, and was not expensive.

    Instructions would be helpful
    by Shelley, CA

    I like this sharpening rod, but there could be detailed instructions on how to properly sharpen a knife. While I think I'm doing it correctly, I'm sure I'm doing something wrong because I have some very sharp parts and some still dull parts.

    Contrary to what you might think, a sharp knife is actually safer than a dull knife. The important thing to remember when chopping and cutting is to let the knife do the work for you. A sharp knife allows you to do that, but a dull knife requires you to exert more pressure to get the job done, which means your hand has a greater chance of slipping.
