This might sound dumb. Mine doesn’t seem to work well. I assume they can get “dull”, for lack of a better term. How do I tell for sure?
Could anyone recommend an inexpensive replacement?
get an Idahone for about 40 plus or minus. there are other similar for cheaper too but I trust them. F.Dick makes the best steels but they’ll run you at least double that.

Are you talking about a honing steel or a ceramic sharpening rod?
I don’t know. I’m not getting good results from the rod I have now, but it’s very old. I’ve used a stone infrequently, but I’m afraid I may have done more harm than good the last time. It seemed to work in the past so I’m really just guessing.
I don’t quite know where to go from here. I’m just a home cook, so it doesn’t have to be elaborate
And how to:
I’ve had this 8016442 - Sharpening Steel | Allpoints for over seven years and haven’t had any problems with it. Hope it helps someone.
Pretty expensive.
Not that expensive. This is expensive

$34 isn’t bad for something that serve for years.
It’s expensive if you can get a similar steel for half the price.
I dig mine. Its well made and quality makes it worth price.
