However, for a home cook, I'd suggest looking for a knife sharpener on websites such as Divertimenti, Robert Dyas, Scotts of Stow, Harts of Stur, Nisbets.theoretica said:The traditional steel is actually a hone - for refining a sharp blade that may have the fine edge slightly bent or minutely damaged.
