Wüsthof 10" Wide Diamond Sharpening Steel, Fine
Restores an Edge When Honing Is Not Enough
The fine diamond coating removes a small amount of blade material as the knife passes along the rod. This makes it suitable for restoring dull or moderately sharp edges rather than routine daily alignment.
Use a traditional honing steel for frequent edge maintenance. Reach for the diamond sharpening steel when honing no longer returns the knife to clean cutting performance.
Wüsthof 10" Wide Diamond Sharpening Steel, Fine
Sharpen Less Often, Hone Regularly
A diamond rod is more abrasive than a traditional honing steel. Use it only when the knife needs material removed to restore its edge, then return to a honing steel for regular maintenance between sharpenings.

Questions answered
Frequently asked questions
When should I use the WÜSTHOF Diamond Sharpening Steel instead of a honing steel?
Use the diamond sharpening steel when a knife has become dull enough that regular honing no longer restores clean cutting performance. Its diamond-coated surface removes a small amount of steel to sharpen the edge, while a conventional honing steel is better suited to frequent maintenance.
What does the 240-grit diamond surface do?
The fine diamond coating provides an abrasive surface for restoring dull or moderately sharp straight-edge knives. WÜSTHOF classifies this rod as 240 grit under the European grading system. It removes metal during sharpening, so it should not replace a conventional honing steel for everyday use.
What is the advantage of the wide sharpening rod?
The rod has a 0.75-inch-wide sharpening surface and a 10-inch working length. This provides a broad contact area for controlled sharpening strokes and enough reach to maintain full-size chef's knives and carving knives.
How should I clean and maintain the diamond coating?
Wipe the rod gently with a damp cloth and towel-dry immediately. Avoid aggressive cleaning or unnecessary abrasion of the diamond-coated surface. Use light, controlled sharpening strokes and store the rod where its coating will not be damaged by other utensils.
