I received this with a set that was gifted to me, and unfortunately it was the only piece that was damaged. Looks like a production issue… We love the knife set so much we didn’t bother returning for a new one, but disappointed since you’re paying for top quality but getting less than.
The craftsmanship used in this product is clearly evident. The birchwood is beautiful. It has a heaviness to it which helps with the stability. I would absolutely reccomend.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I thought this would just work, but it left scratches on my Birchwood knives. It requires skills to use this tool.. Now I can use this well, but this is definitely not for beginners.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Gorgeous honing steel that compliments your Birchwood collection. High quality and does the job it was designed to do perfectly.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Amazing product that makes sharpening super easy. Definitely suggest this as part of a package
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Luxurious handle and best for all of my Japanese knives
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Exceptional balance, edge retention is divine, and I will be buying every blade in the Birchwood set.
This is the ultimate in edge maintenance. The tungsten rod puts the best edge on even the hardest of steels. The Birchwood handle is smoothe and being natural material each one is unique.
I recently purchased the Birchwood 8" chef's knife and added the Birchwood Sharpening Steel. This steel is tungsten which is an extremely hard metal which slightly sharpens as well as hones the blade. The Birchwood cutlery blades are made from SG2 steel, which means you really need a very hard Sharpening Steel in order to account for the hardness. This steel is perfect for Japanese steels, but can also be used for Western and German cutlery. This is now the only Sharpening Steel I use in the kitchen.
This 9 inch sharpening steel is excellent for maintaining the edge of your knife. It is so important to hone your knives because it can really bring the knife back to life.
