Kitchen honing steel designed to keep knives aligned for precise cutting and safer prep. Home cooks and professional chefs gain confidence from a comfortable non-slip grip and fast, repeatable strokes. Is BEWOS Honing Steel the practical, durable tool to rely on for everyday sharpening?
⚡ At a Glance
- • Cutting Quality: Dense, uniform fine teeth and a 26cm length allow quick edge realignment across most kitchen blades.
- • Best for: Home cooks, professional chefs and hunters needing fast, repeatable edge maintenance.
- • Not ideal for: Restoring heavily chipped or blunt blades that require material removal with abrasive stones.
A 26cm carbon steel honing rod with nickel-chrome plating and machine-stamped fine teeth. Magnetic manufacturing traps metal particles while an ergonomic handle improves control.
Fast edge realignment – with 26cm rod and dense fine teeth
A 26cm length combined with machine-stamped, hand-finished fine teeth creates a consistent contact surface along the blade. Heat treatment produces a hardened core that holds shape during repeated passes.
Quickly realigns edges with 2–3 controlled strokes per side at a 20 degree angle, reducing the need for frequent stone work.
Secure handling and safer sharpening – thanks to ergonomic non-slip PP handle and anti-slip beads
PP plastic handle is ergonomically curved for comfortable grip and includes non-slip texture, while two anti-slip beads reinforce the junction between handle and rod. Design suits both right- and left-handed users.
Steadier angle control and a firmer grip minimise slips and help maintain consistent sharpening technique.
Cleaner, longer-lasting finish – with nickel-chrome plating and magnetic manufacturing
Nickel-chrome plating forms an alloy layer over carbon steel for improved corrosion resistance, while magnetic manufacturing attracts metal particles generated during honing. Heat treatment raises hardness to 55–57.
Corrosion-resistant surface and magnetic capture of filings reduce mess and help the rod retain performance over time.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can the honing steel be used on all kitchen knives?
A: 26cm length and dense fine teeth make the rod suitable for maintaining edges on cartilage knives, pocket knives, fruit knives, long fruit knives, chef knives and hunting knives.
Q: What is the correct technique for using the honing steel?
A: Use a 20 degree angle, place the heel of the blade on the top of the rod and glide from heel to tip for 2–3 strokes per side to realign the edge.
Q: Is the rod resistant to corrosion and built to last?
A: Nickel-chrome plating creates an alloy layer for corrosion resistance and heat treatment raises hardness to 55–57, while magnetic manufacturing helps collect metal particles during use.
🏆 Our Verdict
Ideal for cooks and professionals who perform regular edge maintenance rather than heavy blade repair. Strong points include a 26cm carbon steel rod with nickel-chrome plating, magnetic manufacturing and an ergonomic non-slip handle. Even if the initial outlay feels significant, durability and easier maintenance deliver worthwhile long-term value.
