Mercer's quality construction features high-quality German steel that is designed to hone knife edges and remove burrs for increased knife performance. The superior design includes an ergonomic polypropylene handle with a hand guard that offers safety, comfort, and a non-slip grip, even with wet hands. To maximize the performance and longevity of your Mercer sharpening steel, it is recommended to carefully wash it by hand with warm water and mild soap, rinse it, and dry it completely with a soft towel. Avoiding dishwasher use or prolonged submersion in water is advised.
