I'm a lucky guy, I was gifted a Wusthof 8" Ikon Chef's Knife. Not used it yet, I like the feel of the handle, a little skeptical if I'll like the curve of the blade, but a very nice gift all the same.
My question is about maintaining this blade with a steel. I only have an old Henckel steel (two stick figures on it). Would you recommend I buy a matching Wusthof steel to maintain the blade?
Do steels like that need to be replaced, ever?
I do happen to have a Wusthof Trident Ceramic Knife Sharpener (drag knife through the 'v' between the wheels). I used this only once in a while on my Henckels when they needed reshaping.
Thanks in advance for any help on how to look after my new knife.
