Honing Steel for exceptional honing of your knives. Even high-quality knives, such as those made by WÜSTHOF, gradually dull due to use: to compensate, a honing steel should be used regularly. A few strokes of both sides of the knife over the sharpening steel will help you to maintain the sharpness of a good blade. We recommend using a Diamond Steel or a Ceramic Steel to restore the sharpness of particularly blunt knives.

Formulated for Optimal Sharpness

At WÜSTHOF's production factory in Solingen, Germany, forged knives are meticulously crafted through a process involving over fifty-four manufacturing steps. This process seamlessly blends innovative technology with the time-honored traditions of hand-made artisanship.

Each knife is:

Made from WÜSTHOF Steel, our proprietary blend of German steel is the optimal formula for durability fulfilling the strict requirements of an optimal 58° Rockwell.

20% sharper than your average knife thanks to our laser-assisted sharpening process.
