How to use: Hold the steel with a relaxed grip and maintain a consistent angle (typically around 15–20 degrees) as you draw the blade along the steel from heel to tip. Use steady, even pressure and repeat several passes on each side of the blade until you feel the edge regain its bite. Wipe the blade and the rod clean after use and dry thoroughly.
Why this steel stands out is not just the edge it helps you recover—it's the combination of durable construction, precise honing geometry, and a practical ring for quick access. Unlike disposable or lower-end rods, the SS32 is built to endure regular honing with consistent results, making it a reliable workhorse in professional kitchens, farm shops, and serious home setups.
Whether you’re reviving a heavy chef’s knife before service, maintaining carving sets for dinner parties, or keeping outdoor blades ready for field tasks, the Egginton Shepherds Steel with Ring #SS32 190mm delivers crisp, dependable performance day after day.
