Victorinox 12in Hollow-Core Oval Diamond Sharpening Steel - Ultimate Edge F40689

Keep your blades razor-sharp with the Victorinox Classic 12" Hollow-Core Oval Diamond Sharpening Steel—built for performance, durability, and speed. Designed for chefs and serious home cooks who demand professional results, this honing rod delivers precision edge maintenance in a lightweight, easy-to-use package.

Crafted in Switzerland, this 12-inch sharpening steel features an industrial diamond-coated surface that makes quick work of dull or misaligned edges. Unlike traditional round rods, the oval design increases surface contact, allowing for faster and more consistent sharpening with every stroke. Whether you're working with a hefty chef’s knife or a nimble prep blade, the extended oval shape ensures effective contact across the full edge.

What sets this honing steel apart is its hollow-core construction. By removing unnecessary weight without compromising strength, Victorinox has engineered a tool that reduces hand fatigue, especially important during repetitive sharpening tasks in fast-paced kitchen environments. The ergonomic nylon handle offers a non-slip grip, giving you full control and confidence when honing blades, even in wet conditions.

This diamond sharpening rod isn't just about convenience; it's about precision. The diamond grit is more abrasive than ceramic options, making it ideal for quick touch-ups or restoring a slightly worn edge. Many professionals use it as a first step before switching to a ceramic hone for edge refinement. That balance between aggressiveness and finesse is what makes this tool so versatile. It excels during mid-prep adjustments or end-of-day maintenance, extending the working life of your knife collection without the need for frequent full re-sharpening sessions.

Whether you're slicing, dicing, or carving, a properly honed knife improves both safety and efficiency in the kitchen. Dull knives require more force and are more prone to slips—issues that the Victorinox Hollow-Core Diamond Steel helps eliminate with just a few passes.

Designed for long-term performance and daily usability, this sharpening steel is an essential part of any serious kitchen tool kit. Keep your edge, reduce your workload, and bring your knives back to peak condition—quickly, safely, and reliably.
