Review on Farberware Angle Bolster Sharpening Steel by Lori Fleurosier

This steel comes with instructions for sharpening as well as an angle guide - it says hold the steel vertically, press the tip of the steel onto the cutting board and move it down. This works for shorter knives. (The steel is only 20 cm long, so some geometric adjustment is required for longer knives.) this steel. There is no protection for the hands, just two gentle angles that guide the knife tip gently to the wrist. Rotating the steel 90 degrees helps a little, but it's not enough to make this method safe. The base of the steel doesn't fit completely into the handle, leaving small protrusions on either side. Adequate, but not outstanding.
