How to use your honing steel

A honing steel is a fantastic tool when it comes to maintaining kitchen knives. At Foodgear we always recommend a ceramic honing steel, as the ceramic will be considerably harder than the steel of the knife you are honing. 

It is important to remember that a honing steel should be used with respect. It is used to keep a sharp knife sharp for longer. The knife will still need sharpening on a stone now and then. We have made a short video in which Tommy shows how to use a honing steel correctly. It is easy, and anyone can learn it.
