This honing steel will re-align and maintain a razor like edge on an already sharp knife. It’s  fitted with a sterilisable non-absorbent white polypropylene handle with a 38mm square guard and stainless steel hanging ring.

Egginton honing and sharpening steels are made from high carbon chrome vanadium steel which is hardened up to 62-64⁰ Rockwell C.  This is hard chrome plated for wear resistance and corrosion protection and also magnetised to attract the knife material which is removed during the sharpening process.
