Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Vogue D161 Diamond Sharpening Steel used for?

It’s designed to maintain and refine the edge of chef knives and other kitchen blades. The diamond-coated surface sharpens faster and more effectively than a traditional steel.

Is this sharpening steel suitable for all knife types?

Yes. The microcrystalline diamond surface works on most stainless steel, high-carbon, and forged knives. However, it’s not recommended for ceramic knives, which require a specialist sharpener.

How long is the sharpening rod?

The rod measures 305mm (30.5cm) — a professional size that offers safe, efficient sharpening for both small and large kitchen knives.

Why is diamond coating better than a regular steel?

Diamond is one of the hardest materials available. The microcrystalline diamond surface sharpens knives more quickly, removes less metal, and delivers a finer, longer-lasting edge compared to standard steels.

How often should I use a diamond sharpening steel?

Most chefs hone their knives daily or before each use. A few gentle strokes on each side of the blade help maintain a consistently sharp cutting edge.
