Best darn knife steel everFeb 12, 2011
By mark
I own two sets of Chef Knives. Cutco and Wusthof. Both are fine instruments but, neither hold an edge worth a darn. I've tried several "steels", including the "V" type ceramic sharpening blocks and the sharpening systems recomended by both companies.
I recieved a gift certificate for Christmas so I thought what the heck I'll buy the Wusthof 4455 10 inch sharpening Steel/Ceramic. It is the best investment I have made in a long time. This Ceramic steel works like a champ. I have used it on every knife I own including my bread knives. This Ceramic puts a factory edge on knives with little effort. A few swipes and you are good to go.
No Cons about it. I would recomend this to anyone. In fact I dumped my other steels and this is the only one in my kitchen.
Enjoy and watch your fingers.

Best. Sharpener. Ever.Oct 25, 2009
By NDoe
"Dude, where's my funk?"
I bought one of theses Wusthof ceramic sharpeners when I started culinary school 6 years ago. It hasn't lost a bit of its grit after hundreds of thousands of swipes and is perfect for the ultra-hard steel of top Asian and German cutlery. Cleans up easily with soap and water or stone oil. I recently ordered a second one, but only because the first was stolen! This thing will be the last "honing steel" you ever buy.

Like the other reviews it is greatOct 04, 2010

Much more sharpening friction and it actually sharpens. Nothing else to say that other reviews don't.

Great Tool!Oct 21, 2011
By R. Wingo
"Honor Him"
The quality of this sharpener is on par with the Wusthof knives themselves. First class. I was struggling with getting a good edge from the standard steel sharpener. Several passes on the ceramic unit brought the knives back to factory sharpness. This is a must for those people serious about keeping their expensive Wusthof blades sharp!

ImpressiveJun 08, 2011
By Ladds Banks
So far...so good. Sharpening steels are generally "...just about the same". This tool is not what I would refer to as a "steel" (for obvious reasons), but is very effective at honing a knife edge...it's a bit aggressive, but when your knife needs a bit more than a 'polishing', I find it a very good alternative to the stone or "Chefs Choice" application. I also find that after using the ceramic, a few additional swipes on my actual steel (pretty old and worn, but still effective) produces a decently refined edge. I apply my steel after each use of my knives before putting away...I will use the ceramic a little less frequently, but find it a good addition to my arsenal.
