Honing Tool for Non-Pampered Chef Knives: Does it Work?

[Jennie4PC]

Can the honing tool be used on other knives other then the PC ones? I have someone who has a really nice set of knives and I wanted to know before he spent the money

YESSS!!!

I always tell my customers that our Santouko is THE knife to have but if you already have a nice set of knives the honing tool is for you!

 

[ughubug]

Elko? Wow, surprised I have not seen you before

Pampered Chef does not recommend its use for other knives.

 

[Jennie4PC]

Yep Elko I have been on here Snice May of 2005

Thanks you guys for both your answers I let him know and will let him decide

What I was told and share with people is that the honing tool was designed to work with the angle of our blades

The product info says it's only for PC's forged cutlery, but I have used it on my Henckels knives with great success. For the record...the poor Henckels chef knife has gotten very little use since I got my Santoku last year.

I have a past host who got the Santoku. She loved it at first better then her Cutco (sp?), but she now says it's not cutting as good. She doesn't have the honing tool so I was going to suggest that. I also think maybe she should exchange it.

Ooohh... the honing tool will make a HUGE difference for that host! I use mine about every other time that I use my knives, and they're still wickedly sharp.

I use mine about every other week and mine are really sharp too. (I use the santuko EVERY day!)
