Description
The author is discussing the importance of honing knives and how regular honing will keep them sharp. The author is recommending the use of a honing steel made from hard chromium plated steel with a hardness of 65 Rockwell. The honing steel is also produced from an alloy tool steel (material no. 2210) with 1.15%C (carbon) content, .6% chromium and .03% vanadium.
To ensure that your knives stay beautifully sharp, a honing steel should be used regularly. Over time, knives will deteriorate and lose their edge. Honing re-aligns the microscopic teeth in the blade that cant be seen with the naked eye. By regularly honing your knives, you will maximize the time in between sharpening. WUSTHOF honing steels are made from hard chromium plated steel with a hardness of 65 Rockwell. All honing steels are produced from an alloy tool steel (material no. 2210) with 1.15%C (carbon) content, .6% chromium and .03% vanadium.
