Ikon Forged Chaira 26 cm
This Ikon steel sharpening steel from Wüsthof it is the perfect tool to quickly sharpen your kitchen knives before using them. Before using the knife, run it over the steel a few times and flatten any burrs that may have appeared during previous use. Attention: a sharpening steel does not sharpen your knife, since it does not remove any material. Steel sharpenings are used for small daily maintenance of your knives.
When choosing a sharpening steel, be sure to use one that is the proper length. The general rule of thumb is that the steel should be as long as the longest knife you want to sharpen. So also keep in mind the extra long chef's knife you want to buy in the future.
Wusthof Ikon
This relatively exclusive Wüsthof collection is characterized above all by the remarkable handle material used. The handles are African black wood. This is an incredibly valuable wood, used primarily to make wooden instruments such as oboes and clarinets. The wood fibers make each product unique. In addition, the wood is very solid, dense and sustainable. Sharp knives are essential for kitchen lovers. Sharpening knives regularly is essential to ensure they continue to perform as they should. Also, doing this lengthens the life of the knife. This disadvantage of sharpening is that little by little material is removed from the cutting edge. But this is not always necessary: sometimes you just have to push the burr back. That's when the steel can come in handy.
