Sharpening steels at JR-Versand: Sharpness that lasts

A sharp knife is essential in every kitchen – whether in a professional setting or at home. But even the best blades lose their sharpness over time. This is where honing steels come in: they help maintain the edge and extend the life of your knives. At JR-Versand, you'll find a selection of high-quality honing steels tailored precisely to your needs.

Why a honing steel?

When cutting, the fine edge of a knife bends microscopically. A honing steel straightens this edge again without removing any significant amount of material. The result: your knives stay sharp and ready for use for longer.

The selection at JR-Versand

JR-Versand offers a wide range of sharpening steels that differ in shape, length, and drawing method. Here is an overview:

Round, oval, or flat.

• Round sharpening steels : Versatile and ideal for everyday use.

• Oval honing steels : Offer a larger contact surface and are particularly efficient for honing.

• Flat sharpening steels : These are ideal for precise work and offer stable guidance due to their shape.

Filing type: Fine, Normal or Microfine

• Fine honing : For regular honing and maintaining sharpness.

• Normal pull : Ideal for restoring slightly dull knives to their former glory.

• Micro-fine honing : For particularly fine blades and the final touch.

Application tips

1. Maintain the angle : Guide the knife over the honing steel at an angle of approximately 15–20 degrees.

2. Hone both sides : Alternately draw the blade along both sides of the honing steel.

3. Regularity : A few strokes before or after use are often enough to maintain sharpness.
