• Keep Sharp with Steel
  If you bought good knives, like the Henckels Four Star series, keep them good by regularly honing the edge with a Henckels steel.

As previously reviewed, it's not for sharpening but used to maintain a sharp edge. If you use this PROPERLY every time you use a new knife then the factory edge will last for months if not years under normal usage.
