Sharpening Steel Advice

[pointedstarman]

I'm in need of a decent sharpening steel and would appreciate advice on which type / manufacturer is the best buy.

I have a bunch of Global knives but tbh find £140 ish for a Global sharpener a bit steep!

This said, if the general consensus is they're actually good value then I guess I'd stump up.

Would prefer to pay something less than £50 if possible - anyone got actual experience of a steel that goes well with decent knives?

Thanks all. Think I'll go for the Wusthoff.

Mmmmm. Hadn't thought about the alternatives to a steel. Will take look.
