We are so confident in the build quality and performance of the Forte series that every product in the range is guaranteed for life.

Put simply, a sharpening steel is a bar of material that is considerably harder than the blade it is designed to sharpen. A good quality sharpening rod acts to realign microscopic kinks, curls and folds that appear on a blade edge during normal use. They aren't designed to remove material from the blade, but act to restructure the grind profile for better cutting performance and longer lasting sharpness.
