The Shun Classic Combination Honing Steel gently realigns the edge of the blade, prolonging the knife's sharpness. It has two surfaces: a smooth one for weekly honing, and a micro-ribbed one for monthly honing. 

While fine European knives can require honing after each use, Shun's harder steel means you can hone just once a week or so, depending on your level of use.
