F. Dick 10" Polished Honing Steel

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.
