This 4 inch portable honing tool is made of stainless steel. It's perfect for sharpening your Opinel folding knives on-the-go. The honing steal is small enough to fit in many of our sheaths alongside the knife. It will not bring an edge completely back from the dead, but it will keep your knives cutting efficiently if honed often.
Made in China.

I want to love this steel because its size and design fit a specific need for me, hence why I went out of the way to purchase it. However, there’s a significant issue I have with it; the steel is a bit soft, and I regularly have knives (even pretty dull ones) of all sizes cut into the steel and catch the blade mid-swipe, which instantly ruins any good edge I worked for. Not a complete ruination, but an unnecessary setback nonetheless. I’ve been using steels for a while now, and have never had this issue before with any other steel, so I know it’s not my angle or anything like that. Despite the issue, the steel can still do its job, but there’s always a random risk that it’ll reverse the work you just did, even when your angle is perfect. The attached photo doesn’t do it justice, but all the perpendicular knicks are all the times knives cut into it, and as you can see, it’s pretty often, and can happen at any point down its length. I feel that if I didn’t have to worry about my knives catching the steel and dulling my knives instead of honing, this thing would be perfect.
as stated above, the honing rod is top of its class. i have sold off my other honing rods, and bought a spare one of these.
Carry it daily. Works great for daily use. I would recommend with a opinel knife to keep it sharp.
Terrible honing Rod. Steel is super soft. Knife sliced right into it.

To be clear, this is to hone your knife, not sharpen it. Honing keeps a sharp knife sharp longer by keeping the edge true. This steel does it perfectly, and is designed to fit in many of the sheaths provides through opinel. Use this steel when you feel your knife getting dull and usually it will come right back to sharp. This helps not have to actually sharpen as often
