One of our most asked questions: How do I hone my knives? And today, Viola Wüsthof is here to help🔪 The honing rod, a subtle yet powerful tool, performs the sacred dance of realigning your knifes edges, bringing your blades back to their prime state. Honing is not sharpening, mind you. While sharpening involves removing layers of metal to create a brand-new edge, honing merely ensures that your blade's existing edge is in perfect harmony. | WÜSTHOF

Do you know all parts of your knife? There's the blade (obvi 😉 ), the tang (the extension of the blade through the handle), the bolster (the thicker junction between the blade and the handle), and three rivets to secure the handle to the blade. Every WÜSTHOF knife is made in our factory in over over 50 painstakingly precise steps to ensure our commitment to making you the highest quality knives. | WÜSTHOF
