Scanpan Diamond Steel 25cm

Diamond Coating: The steel rod is likely coated with diamond abrasives, which are extremely hard and effective for honing and sharpening knife edges. Diamond-coated steels can quickly restore a knife's sharpness.

Length: The 25cm measurement refers to the length of the steel rod. A longer steel provides more surface area for honing longer blades and can be more versatile for various knife sizes.

Handle: The steel may come with a handle for a comfortable and secure grip during use. The handle may be made of materials like plastic, rubber, or stainless steel.

Maintenance Tool: A Diamond Steel is primarily used for honing and maintaining the edge of a knife rather than sharpening it. Regular use of a Diamond Steel helps align the edge of the blade, keeping it sharp and prolonging the time between sharpening sessions.

Versatility: Diamond steels are suitable for use with a wide range of knife types, including kitchen knives, chef's knives, utility knives, and even some specialty knives like boning or filleting knives.
