Winco Sharpening Steel 12 inch

I saw another review saying that this had an 8" blade with 12" total length, which would have been fine with me, but the product I received has 12" blade with 5.5" handle, which is how it was described on the product page. I'm guessing the other reviewer got a wrong product by error. In any case, this is a decent product for the price. The handle is plastic, but feels pretty solid. It works well on my knives.

Expected 12" blade, not a 12" total measurement. Hand protector cheap other than that looks great, but would have called it an 8"

This is an excellent steel for honing your kitchen knives the length is good for almost all sizes of knife. It is heavy so don't expect it to stick to a knife magnet (not that I would but I've seen some try), the attached ring is solid enough to hang it by. It's not a fine grain by any measure so if you expect a razor-sharp edge you will likely want a diamond or other similar fine-grit tool as well.

It was based on the rating of someone else on Amazon that I chose this particular tool. My father always said that sharp knives are as important to a cook, or chef, as wrenches are to a mechanic. And he knows what he's talking about. He happens to be both. And I have tried other ways to sharpen a knife but never liked the long term effect that they had in wearing down the blade. Making them look quite ugly. A friend of mine has a restaurant and he prefers a sharpening steel just like this and he has shown me the difference. But he is professional and I am domestic. And so I have to go the economic route.

Let me just say that there is absolutely no difference between this and the more expensive ones. (Except bragging rights.) Immediately upon receiving my package I opened it, got all my knives out, and made like the professionals! I am happy with the results.

It has only been a short time now, but I have faith that it will give me quite a number of years of service. If you choose this particular product, I am sure that your praises will be an echo of mine.
