Review on Farberware Angle Bolster Sharpening Steel by Lori Marquez

This honing machine works great. The stem is firmly inserted into the handle, so everything feels solid and doesn't go anywhere during use. I like that the handle also has angle guides (15 or 20 degrees). While I personally wouldn't use them as I'm perfectly happy just trying them out for myself, it's a nice touch, especially for someone just getting used to using one. Admittedly, if you are looking for a "knife sharpener". " is not exactly what you need. While it's true that it can sharpen a bit, you're better off using a whetstone or taking your knives to a professional sharpener. These tools are actually designed to sharpening the steel of your knife so it lasts longer, stayed sharp. For this purpose it works perfectly.
