The oval rod of this sharpening steel has a length of 26 centimeters. This means that this sharpening steel should be used with knives that have steel blades that are 26cm or shorter. Using it for knives with longer blades would decrease the quality of the sharpening process.

In fact, despite being a kitchen tool commonly thought to be only for professional cooks, this sharpening steel  is very easy to master, so with a bit of practice, it could also be used by hobby and home cooks

The process can be simple : you have to hold the steel vertically in one hand while resting the end of the rod on a secure surface. Then, you have to angle the blade of the knife and pass the edge of the blade along the steel in continuous “sweeping” repetitions.
