A prized material for knife handles, Karelian Birch is also the only wood ever used in a Faberge egg.

This easy-to-use honing rod restores maximum sharpness within seconds. It is made from ultra-durable tungsten carbide, which lasts longer than other steels while ensuring the correct hardness for most knives. Even the best knife will lose its initial sharpness during the course of time. By using a sharpening steel after each use, you can keep the blade’s edge aligned, resulting in a sharper, safer knife.
