First time using a honing steel and I’m honestly impressed with this Victorinox. My IKEA knives were completely dull (basically no edge left), so it took me a bit of time and practice, but you can clearly see the results in the video.

For beginners like me: keeping a consistent angle is key, around 15–20° (20° is ideal for Victorinox knives) makes a big difference in performance. You can check the videos on https://www.victorinox.com/en/Cutlery/Information/How-to-Sharpen-Your-Kitchen-Knife/cms/how-to-sharpen-your-kitchen-knife/

The steel feels solid, easy to control, and does exactly what it’s supposed to do: realigns the edge and brings the knife back to life. Not instant magic, but with a bit of patience, it works really well.

Great tool if you’re starting out and want to learn proper knife maintenance, for me is a 5⭐️
