Keep your edge with a HexClad honing steel. It¡¯s perfectly normal for premium steel blades¨Ceven those made from Japanese Damascus steel¨Cto feel less smooth over time. Occasional honing helps realign the edge of your blade for optimal cutting performance. A frequent, quick swipe down the steel will restore the edge of your knife or shears, keeping it sharper longer.
