Customer Reviews of The Ultimate Edge Model 12 W Professional 12 Inch Oval Diamond Sharpening Steel
Customer Rating:   Summary: Steel Comment: Item was as advertised. I used a neighbors for several years prior to finding this on Amazon. Very pleased with its ability to sharpen and hone a knife to a razor sharp edge. Customer Rating: Summary: So-so Comment: I am writing a review after using this product for a few months now. Despite the self-proclaimed hype about sharpening knives, this steel does not work better than my other one from Wushtof. The only thing I like better about this one is the fact that it is longer 12" (compared to my 10" wushtof). Also, this steel started to rust (yes, rust) at the top end near the plastic cap. Sorry, I wanted to like this but it definitely did not not meet my expectations from the other reviews and the product description. Customer Rating: Summary: Should be a terrific sharpener Comment: I currently own a sharpener similar to the one above that I bought years ago at a farm fair and they do a terrific job at keeping knives sharp. One thing that is not mentioned, eventually the sharpener needs to be cleaned to keep it working well, all that you need to do is wash it and wipe off the shapener to keep it in top working order Customer Rating: Summary: Get this Before Considering a Honing Steel Comment: If your knives are dull, chances are you need to sharpen them before you need to hone them. Get a diamond-impregnated steel such as this one. This steel will quickly sharpen your knives. Don't try to sharpen your knives with the honing steels that come with most knive sets or that are popularly available or you'll wreck the honing steel as well as waste a lot of elbow grease. They say to use a steel at least as long as your knife. I don't have any 12" knives, but I like the little extra room for error... More Reviews The Ultimate Edge 12" Professional Sharpening Steel is a premium grade microcrystalline diamond. It's bonded with nickel to a lightweight shaft that sharpens and realigns at the same time to produce a high-grade cutting edge. No messy oil or water needed. Lightweight and easy to use, the 600-grit diamond mesh also sharpens serrated knives. Dimensions: 12" x 3/4" 
Choosing Appliance -> Cutting boards There seems to be little difference between hard wood and plastic cutting boards from a safety standpoint, as long as they are properly washed and sanitized after each use. Personally, I like the feel of solid wood. One piece of advice--buy large cutting boards. Don't bother with these tiny boards that everyone seems to have in his or her kitchen. They are not user friendly. Once you get down to serious cutting or chopping, the small boards are always woefully inadequate and downright maddening! Choosing Appliance -> Energy-Efficient Refrigerators The EnergyGuide label on new refrigerators will tell you how much electricity in kilowatt-hours (kWh) a particular model uses in one year. The smaller the number, the less energy the refrigerator uses and the less it will cost you to operate. In addition to the EnergyGuide label, don't forget to look for the Energy Star label. A new refrigerator with an Energy Star label will save you between $35 and $70 a year compared to the models designed 15 years ago. This adds up to between $525 and $1,050 during the average 15-year life of the unit. The Ultimate Edge Model 12 W Professional 12 Inch Oval Diamond Sharpening Steel
