The WÜSTHOF Ikon 10" Honing Steel is made for exceptional honing of your knives. Even high-quality knives, such as those made by WÜSTHOF, gradually dull due to use: to compensate, a honing steel should be used regularly. A few strokes of both sides of the knife over the honing steel will help you to maintain the sharpness of a good blade. We recommend using a Diamond Steel or a Ceramic Steel to restore the sharpness of particularly blunt knives.

Customer Reviews (4.8 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Grace ★★★★★

I was surprised how much smoother the honing motion feels compared to my old steel—the textured surface really grabs the blade evenly. The 10-inch length is perfect for my kitchen knives, and after just a few passes my blade slices through tomatoes like butter.

Violet ★★★★★

My chef’s knife feels noticeably sharper after just a few passes on this steel—the fine cut texture really grips the blade edge without being aggressive. It’s a solid, heavy tool that sits nicely in my hand during use.

Natalie ★★★★★

I was skeptical that honing would make much difference, but a few passes on this steel brought my chef's knife back to slicing tomatoes cleanly. The 10-inch length gives me plenty of room to work without my knuckles getting near the counter.
