Supra Sharpening Steel, Oval Chrome-Plated SY51030B, 30 cm

The Supra oval Sharpening Steel SY51030B is a professional honing steel with a 30 cm (12 in) rod, used to maintain and realign the cutting edge of kitchen knives between sharpenings rather than to remove metal. It suits butcheries, professional kitchens and catering operations that hone knives daily; its oval cross-section meets more of the blade's edge on each pass than a round rod.

The rod has a chrome-plated finish and a standard grain for routine honing. Ambrogio Sanelli is an Italian cutlery maker whose catalogue is marked "Professional Knives since 1864", and the Supra line is made in Premana, Italy.

The same model is also made with Red handles. Ambrogio Sanelli's Supra range covers round, oval and flat sharpening steels across several grains, so a kitchen can match the steel to the knives it maintains.
