Honing Rod - 10 inch - Gladiator Series Elite - HC Stainless Steel - G10 Garolite Handle - Kitchen Knife Sharpener Chef Knife Polish Gift- Professional Honing Steel- NSF Certified

All perfect and very fast shippend.

This is my eighth purchase to complete a set of Chefs Knives for my grandson.Dalstrong cutlery appears well made, and with good sale prices, an excellent choice for a budding Chef if choosing the Gladiator series.I am seeing this brand and series in several of my cooking how to videos on my Facebook pages.The packaging is impressive, the knifeguards thoughtful given the investment, the quality appears to be right up there with my Wustoffs given the feel. Ordered a set of the three paring knives for several friends, and one for myself.The chefs 10” does a great job of cutting.I almost forgot to order the honing steel, but German steel is a bit softer than Japanese steel. Good news, German steel takes to sharpening at home much better.It’s been a pleasure to deal with this company, good job Amazon with finding an excellent partner!Bye the way...........the Gladiator sandwich knife! Ridiculously fun. I have never had one quite as unique.

My son owns knifes from this company so I bought him this and he loves it.Great quality and it magnets to the wall holder alongside his knife set!

Great looking and feeling product. Just what I needed for my phantom knife set. It has weight to it that gives you assurance of quality and it's very solid in the hand.For those curious, honing steel doesn't sharpen the blade or remove material, it straightens an already sharp edge back out for better performance and maintains the blade for a longer period between actual sharpening sessions with a whetstone.I've been told it is NOT recommended for the shogun series by Dalstrong because of the steel hardness of that particular series.If you know what this product is supposed to do, it will not let you down. But you NEED to buy a 1000/6000 grit whetstone and learn how to properly sharpen your blades.

Edit:While I was initially not happy with the piece that I received, I have to give a lot of credit to the customer service department. They promptly responded to me and resolved the issue. I truly believe that this piece just slipped through quality control (which happens to every single business out there) and is not representative of all of their products. The steel itself works flawlessly and has brought a renewed razor sharp edge to every blade I’ve used it on. I’d definitely recommend Dalstrong.Original Review:I opened this piece after I opened the Shogun series knife that I also ordered from Dalstrong. I gave the knife a 5 star review. It was really a remarkable piece. However, this honing steel seems to have skipped the quality control step.The steel is nice, but it feels unfinished. The metal tang hangs out over the wooden grip just enough to be sharp, rough, and uncomfortable. I don’t know if this one skipped a step in sanding or finishing, but it was a really big disappointment after seeing the quality of the knife I ordered from them. I don’t know if this is a lemon, or just the difference in product line. Either way, it doesn’t seem like quality control is up to par. I’m glad I got lucky with the knife, but I’ll probably send this piece back.

Fácil de usar

Outstanding. If you like them sharp or his is a solid tool.
