Wüsthof Wusthof Classic IKON Honing Steel, 10 inches, Black

When you fork out two or three grand plus for an Ikon set, you'd think this honing steel would be included with the set, but it is not. The silver-handled tool that comes standard with Wustoff block sets is perfectly functional, but simply doesn't look like it belongs with the knives in the block. I found this bothersome enough to throw down another $200. Now my set looks right and I keep the silver-handled one as an extra in my drawer. Having two of these is useful because they dull after awhile and become less effective at sharpening.
