The Wusthof sharpening steel: a model for every cook

Wüsthof sharpeners come in a range of sizes. It's important to note that the wick size should be no smaller than the blade size of your largest knife. With this in mind, you can opt for a Wüsthof 18cm, 20cm or 26cm rifle. Wick shapes also vary, with round or oval wicks (which are more suitable for novices, thanks to their wider setting surface). Some feature a diamond coating to increase abrasive power. Finally, the materials used in the design of the handles also vary from model to model: non-slip polymer, riveted handle, steel handle... Choose the one that suits you best! So choose a Wusthof sharpening steel to maintain your finest kitchen knives without wasting time!
