F. Dick 10" Polished Honing Steel
*30-Day Money-Back Guarantee*
Seth's favorite, the 10" F. Dick Polished Honing Steel is PURELY a blade edge honing steel. , no part of this steel will remove material from your knife. This honing steel only re-aligns the edge of your knife when it gets dull from micro bends, waves, and nicks.
It's great for clean table work if you feel your knife getting dull from normal use. You can 'sharpen' it this way near the food, without metal particles being removed and accidentally contaminating your food prep area.
The chromium (stainless) steel is a special magnetized stainless alloy, to hold your knife edge to the steel when you hone it.
It's corrosion resistant, so it's dishwasher safe and good for any wet, tough, work and prep environment.
With a 6" plastic handle an overall length of almost 16", it is the perfect size to couple with 6" or 8" knives, which is why we use them every day we process.
Made in Germany
I bought this along with all of your knives and I am enjoying the hell out of them.
I've gone through several beef and I love the edge I can maintain with the polished steel over a more abrasive one.
I'm still 'honing' my skills with creating an edge that will last through more than one beef with the stones but I'm getting lots of practice and with this steel it really saves me.
Thanks for all you folks provide!
I used one when I was a meat cutter in a grocery store. Perfect for touching up the edges of my boning and breaking knives. A must have for anyone!
I just love that steel
It is nice to have a quality product to maintain a quality knife. It is very hard to find quality and affordable butchering equipment.
Love it!
Very Happy with this product
Bought as gift to son, shipped promptly, I tuned up my knives before I boxed it up, worked a treat, would buy again if needed.
I’m very happy with this honing steel. Works very well. Great quality and provides an excellent edge on my knives. Much higher quality than any other steel I have ever owned.
I like the 6” and 8” went well with my moose.
Keeps a sharp edge for sure. No regrets here.
I use it every day at work I wish it was 12" long but it does what is intended to do
I am going to buy the Victorinox one for the kitchen.
Great product.
Kept my edge through breaking down a chuck roll.
This is the first time I've used a polished honing steel. There is always a micro Burr on one side of the knife edge after using a serrated honing steel or a sharpening stone. The polished honing steel doesn't remove the burr, instead, it trues the micro burr towards the apex of the edge. Since the micro burr is actually shaped like a microscopic saw blade with razor sharp points, the points become aligned dead center of the cutting edge. Only 3 of 4 light swipes on either side of the blade are required to do the job as the points get misaligned on the cutting board or bone deflection. Since the honing steel's surface is polished hardened steel, there are no metal shards from your blade or the honing steel. My knives cut through meat, gristle, fat, sinew, silver skin like butter. Strong and slick for any blade on your belt, in your drawer, hanging on your block or in your tackle box, you can count on a razors edge with the F Dick 10" Polished Honing Steel!!
First steel I’ve bought and it didn’t take long to figure it out. Helps keep a nice edge on our kitchen and fillet knifes.
I've talked to several friends who have butchered for years. They commented to really cherish this tool! I love using it.
It keeps my knife razor sharp. Have been trying to find a good one for awhile and I’m glad I found the one you guys recommend.

The polished steel is a lot less harsh on my blade and helps keep my edge straight without shaving any metal off
- I believe a polished hone is smarter on the stone-polished and lesther-stropped blades that I sharpen, rather than using the grooved blades which are more likely to chips or filings.
- The rubber handle/guard is also better than most hones, because if you're honing back toward the handle and hit a metal guard you might blunt your blade, but the rubber tip won't. Probably shouldn't hone back toward the handle anyway, but we tend to slap that blade around kinda stupid sometimes don't we.
Ever good steel
Was exactly what I was looking for. Very hard to find a honing steel that is smooth.
The Honing knife works great, I actually have another one on order

Great product! Fast shipping! Great steel, easy to use and works well. Thanks
I am not sure if I like this one. I don't know much about honing steels as I am fairly new to the whole processing my own game and therefore making sure that my knives are nice and sharp. I had a knife I was using and felt like it was getting a bit dull so I used a hand sharpener and then used this honing steel and didn't feel like it worked well. But again as a disclosure I am new using these products and may just need a bit more practice and direction. So I will keep using for now.
Loved the steel. I always knew there was a better steel out there that I’d seen the people use that butchered our hogs every year. They had sharp knives and a smooth steel the really cut. This is that steel. I could not find one like this anywhere. Thank you.
Definitely a game changer. It seems to be a lot easier on my blades.
Since it’s red now my crew members can’t steal mine
Had a lot of sharpening steels over the years and thought i knew what was good and what wasn't. This steel is hands down the best one I've ever used.
