SHARPENING STEEL ROUND WITHOUT RING SIZE 25CM. GOLDGLOCKE

A sharpening steel is a kitchen tool that you can use to keep kitchen knives and chef's knives sharp. If the knives are blunt, it is wise to first sharpen them with, for example, the Chefs Choice knife sharpener, and then sharpen the knife on the sharpening steel. You therefore only use a sharpening steel to regularly sharpen knives. In contrast to sharpening with a grinding machine, you do not remove any steel when sharpening, but the small metal particles, such as burrs on the cutting edge, are straightened again. If the knife has become really blunt, you should always sharpen the knives first before sharpening them.

How to use a sharpening steel

German knives, such as GoldGlocke, are meant to be sharpened at an angle of between 20 and 40 degrees. The sharper the angle tends towards 20 degrees, the sharper the edge becomes. The sharper the edge becomes, the more regularly the knives should be sharpened.

This choice of 20 degrees or 40 degrees can be made personally. If you sharpen German knives, such as those from GoldGlocke, Wusthoff Dreizack or Zwilling, then realize that these knives are sharpened at a standard angle of 35 to 40 degrees. You should then sharpen these knives with an angle of 20 degrees on the sharpening steel.

In addition to sharpening at 20 degrees to achieve an angle of approximately 40 degrees, it is important to move the chef's knife along the steel in the correct motion.
