Description: Dexter Russell Honing Rod 20 ½-Inches Overall 13 ¼ Inches Grooved Rod Length ½ Inch Diameter Heavy Duty Rod One of the biggest misconceptions about the particular type of kitchen tool you see above is the belief that it's a knife sharpener. It doesn't help that many manufacturers sell their honing steels as such. But a honing steel is not a sharpener. Ridged, rod-like honing steels, or "stropping irons," as they're sometimes called, do not sharpen blades; they realign them and remove a burr that is created during sharpening. Likewise, they can give a quick edge between your regular sharpening schedule. This is similar to a barber stopping a single edge razor on a leather strop. Edge maintenance is a preventive measure: It helps keep sharp knives sharp and safe. There is an old adage that a knife that is not sharp is not safe. Dexter-Russell is still in business today.
