Key Features:

High-Carbon DEXSTEEL Construction: The 12" steel rod is crafted from proprietary high-carbon steel that is hard enough to withstand years of heavy commercial use while resisting staining for long-term reliability.
Honing, Not Sharpening: Designed to realign and maintain knife edges between sharpenings with medium coarseness and weight, keeping blades performing like new without removing material from the blade.
Magnetized Blade: The magnetized steel attracts and traps carbon dust and metal shavings generated during honing, preventing contamination of food and maintaining a clean work environment.
Protective Finger Guard: A large finger guard separates the steel rod from the handle to reduce the risk of injury during use, a critical safety feature in fast-paced professional kitchens.
Slip-Resistant Polypropylene Handle: The textured, easy-to-clean polypropylene handle provides a secure, sure-grip hold and is impervious to high and low temperatures, meeting NSF sanitary standards through its sealed blade-to-handle construction.
Convenient Hang Ring: A metal ring on the end of the handle allows for easy hanging storage on wall hooks, pot racks, or knife strips, keeping the tool accessible and organized in busy kitchen environments.
