The Messermeister Fine Honing Steel is designed to realign the edge of a knife. The fine grit steel works great on Messermeister's Elite and Japanese knife lines. Each handle in the Oliva Elite knife line is unique and made from beautiful, Italian olive wood. No two handles are the identical, making the knives and sharpening steels truly boutique and one-of-a-kind. 100% Handcrafted in Solingen, Germany
