Timothy Z. (5/5)

At first I thought

"At first I thought this would be hard to use and be good with it. But after only a few strokes, I realized how simple and effective this is. Now all my knives stay sharp and ready to go."

Peter (5/5)

Recently purchased this Gladiator

"Recently purchased this Gladiator Series steel to hone my knives, especially my Shogun Series chefs knife. This steel is a solid 5 stars!!! Other steels feel flimsy but this one feels sturdy in my hand. I had a much older steel and it was not adequately straightening the edge on my knives. With this new steel I was able to sharpen all of my dull steak knives and my chef’s knife. You can just tell it’s quality when it is in your hand! Great purchase!"
