EDGEMASTER DIAMOND STEEL 260mm

Edgemaster Diamond Sharpening Steel 260 mm

The Edgemaster Diamond Sharpening Steel is a 260 mm rod coated with diamond particles. It does more than a standard honing steel: as well as straightening the edge, the diamond surface takes off a little metal to renew a dull edge quickly.

At 260 mm it suits most cook's, carving and utility knives, making it a good all-round steel for the kitchen. Keep one at every station so knives stay sharp through service.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is a diamond steel different from a normal steel?

A plain steel only realigns the edge. A diamond steel also removes a small amount of metal, so it can sharpen a dull edge, not just straighten it.

How do I use it?

Rest the tip on a board, hold the knife at about 20 degrees, and draw the blade down the steel from heel to tip. Alternate sides with light pressure, a few strokes each.

Can I use it on serrated knives?

No. It is designed for straight-edge knives only.

How often should I use it?

A few light strokes before service is usually enough. Because diamond removes metal, avoid heavy pressure or overuse.

How do I clean it?

Wipe it down with a damp cloth to remove metal dust and dry before hanging or storing. Do not put it in the dishwasher.
