Wüsthof honing steel 18cm round bit standard grain

This Wüsthof sharpening gun 3049700318 is an essential accessory for any chef or cooking enthusiast who wants to maintain his knives on a regular basis. It is made by Wüsthof, a German company renowned worldwide for the quality of its knives and kitchen accessories.

Practical, easy-to-use design

This sharpening gun features a standard grain bit. It's ideal for easily sharpening blades that are a little weakened, but haven't completely lost their edge. Its 18cm round bit makes sharpening quick and easy.

This sharpening gun is suitable for kitchen knives under 18cm. In fact, the wick must always be as long as the blade of the knife you wish to sharpen.

The handle is made of durable polymer. It offers a secure, comfortable grip. What's more, the handle is long enough to ensure a good grip and stability during use.

Instructions and tips

Place the base of the blade on the Sharpening steel, as close as possible to the guard. Tilt the blade at an angle of 20° to 30°. Then glide the blade over the Sharpening steel bit without forcing it, keeping a constant angle of about 20°, as if you wanted to cut a thin slice of the Sharpening steel. Repeat this movement about 6 to 8 times in alternation, and you'll have a razor-sharp knife.

We recommend that you wash this sharpening steel under running water and then dry it properly. It is essential to dry it with a dry cloth to remove any steel waste. Then store it in a dry place away from moisture.

A sharpening steel does not remove any material from your knives. A sharpening gun straightens the edge. As a result, it is ideally suited to the day-to-day maintenance of your knives.
