Honed granite counters are derived from slabs of granite extracted from mines or cliff sides. Granite is an igneous rock that contains a matrix of feldspar, quartz, mica and amphibole. As a building material, granite has been used throughout the history of humanity. Its use as an indoor material is relatively new.
Honing: A honing steel basically pushes the edge of the knife back to the center and straightens it. It corrects the edge without shaving off much, if any, of the blade's material. Honing doesn't actually sharpen the knife, but if done properly, the knife will seem sharper because the blade is now in the proper position.
