Cangshan KITA Series 9-Inch Honing Steel

Product Description

Keep your knives performing at their peak with the Cangshan KITA Series 9-Inch Honing Steel. Forged from 67 layers of proprietary X-7 Damascus steel, this dual-sided honing steel is engineered for both regular maintenance and fine finishing — the grooved side realigns the blade's microscopic edge teeth, while the smooth side polishes and refines after honing. The result is a sharper, longer-lasting edge with every use. Dressed in the KITA Series' signature blue and black faux-wood-grain G-10 fiberglass octagonal handle with a mosaic rivet, it's as striking on the counter as it is effective in hand. A sensational gift for any serious home cook or culinary enthusiast.

Since 2015, Cangshan has brought together Western and Japanese influences, blending modern elegance with timeless form. Guided by its philosophy of “Beautiful Function,” the brand works with skilled artisans and globally sourced materials, emphasizing precision, balance, comfort, and control for professional chefs and passionate home cooks alike. Strength, enduring craftsmanship, and respect for heritage shape its approach to design and quality.
