Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Shun DM0750 Sharpening Steel
Customer Review: Misinformation Galore!
Summary: 5 Stars
The amount of bad information here is unbelievable. This is not a sharpener. It doesn't have a hand guard or a slot. This does not have a plastic handle and isn't made in China. It will not scratch your knives if you use it correctly. It is not too short for a 12" blade.
To my surprise it is capable of turning a chefs knife into a boning knife rather quickly, but if one follows the instructions on the box and uses a VERY light touch for stroking at the correct angle this high end tool will do you right. The handle is the same as on all classic knives. It is made for honing, not removing metal like a ceramic stick.
The angle guide is not to rub your knife against, just to help you get the right angle before you move down & stroke it. Holding it correctly, you do not have to change hands, just spin the steel 180 degrees. The flat part of the angle guide is 16 degrees for Shun knives. The rest of the angle guide is 20 degrees for the cheaper European steels and don't bother honing grocery store steel - just pull it through a $1.29 sharpener.
This is a great tool if you learn how to use it the correct way.

Description of Shun DM0750 Sharpening Steel
Featuring durable stain-resistant steel construction, this sturdy sharpening tool promises to keep kitchen knives in razor-sharp cutting condition. Measuring 9-1/4 inches in length, the gradually diminishing circular rod has blade-honing, miniscule ridges running up and down its body. A protective steel guard keeps fingers safe during sharpening. Designed to fit comfortably in hand, a fused blend of hardwood veneers and resin comprise the unique ebony Pakkawood handle. The steel construction resists rusting and withstands years of use. Although dishwasher-safe, hand washing is recommended. Manufactured in Japan?s renowned sword-making city--Seki City; this tool includes a lifetime warranty. ---- Amy ArnoldKnife Sharpeners
