GET A 12" steel. It makes sharpening 10" knives MUCH easier. This one is great: F. Dick 12 in. Multiron Oval Steel so is this one: F. Dick 12 in. Round Regular Cut Sharpening Rod with Wooden Handle For the last 15 years I have purchased from knifemerchant.com. Their service, prices and selection is the best. I generally recommend a regular cut steel, NOT a fine cut steel. |

I just bought a new home and updating all of my kitchen utensils. This is the knife set I'm considering (Miyabi 5000MCD). Outstanding performance aside, they are very light and stunning to look at.

Can anyone point to a good tutorial on using a steel? Been using one all my adult life, but would not mind insuring I'm doing it correctly. Can always learn.............
Should have the new Henckel and Global knives tomorrow and Friday. Thanks for all the great feedback/info. AAf isn't just about audio. Its about living well............ (the best revenge ).

I recall seeing an Alton Brown video as it pertains to Shun knives. Around 5:20 he uses a steel. It is a good intro video, but maybe you are looking for something more in depth.

The technique I use is HORRIFYING to most people and is dangerous if people were to get close especially when sharpening long knives, but I get my blades much sharper and with smaller blade angles than they can so I don't care. I stroke the blade AWAY from myself from handle to tip and between 30 and 40 strokes per minute. That's 15-20 alternating strokes per side of the blade. I tell others to step back when I'm in motion.
