This is not a flimsy kitchen store tool. I have ordered several styles of DMT steels and have been very happy with the quality product that they provide. It is very solid, commercial grade kitchen tool. Besides fitting my hand very well, I appreciate the unbreakable ceramic material the steel is made of.
This is a great tool. I've had smaller steels and metal steels, but this one really cuts a great edge in no time.
This is the perfect tool to keep that super edge on your fine knives. The purpose off a "steel" is to straighten out the tiny roll the blade edge develops as you use a sharp knife. This roll is what makes a knife start to feel dull. A couple of very light (just enough presure to keep contact) strokes per side, at a shade more than the angle use to sharpen the blade, and that edge is straight and ready to glide through your food. I've found that using this rod every time before I use the knife makes a terrific difference in how sharp the knife feels and how long the edge lasts.
