Wusthof    10-Inch Sharpening Steel
Wusthof

This 10-inch sharpening steel is just what those knives you got on your wedding day need. It's magnetic so it attracts all the metal fibers that get loose when sharpening and the handle is a slip-resistant plastic to keep things safe and comfortable. If you already have a steel, consider upgrading the knife set or finding the blade that your spouse doesn't have, but would like.
