Arcos Chairas Sharpening Steel, Yellow, 300 mm, Art. 278515

The Arcos Chairas lineup also includes a 300 mm sharpening steel with a yellow handle (article 278515) — a tool for daily honing of kitchen knives without removing metal from the blade. A 30 cm rod length and 13 mm diameter make it suitable for knives with a blade of this length or shorter.

Chromium steel with a high carbon content and a professional groove pattern on the rod surface deliver quality honing of the edge at roughly a 12–20 degree angle. The yellow polypropylene handle offers a secure, non-slip grip and also works as part of a HACCP color-coding scheme, simplifying kitchen tool organization.

Features

• 30 cm rod length, 13 mm rod diameter.
