F. Dick EuroCut 12-inch Round Fine Cut Steel
The EuroCut fine cut has lighter lines than the regular cut, so it leaves a smoother, less roughened edge. That edge slices fish and beef cleanly without tearing, which makes this 12-inch round steel a good choice for portioning and carving.Fine cut steels remove less metal and mainly straighten a rolled edge, so they suit knives that are honed regularly and kept sharp. The round profile gives precise contact along curved blades such as boning knives and scimitars. Twelve inches lets a long slicer pass the rod in one stroke.It is a good second steel beside a regular cut.For more bite on vegetables, the round regular cut sibling is the EuroCut 12-inch Round Regular Cut Steel, our best-selling steel overall. An oval version of this rod is the EuroCut 12-inch oval fine cut steel. For a finer finish still, serious professionals choose the Dickoron Micro 12-inch Oval Super Fine Cut Steel. Learn More$27.95 -
F. Dick 10-inch Round Fine Cut Sharpening Steel, Red Handle
Butchers, meat processors, fishmongers and line cooks hone constantly through a shift, and this is the kind of steel they reach for. A fine cut has a little texture, enough to bring back the edge on German and American knives under 60 Rockwell without being aggressive, so it can be used many times a day.Fine cut is the sensible default for most Western knives. It keeps a good edge on standard stainless and carbon steel blades, while a regular cut adds more texture for heavier wear and a polishing steel suits the softest stamped knives.
Round or Oval?The F. Dick 10-inch Fine Cut Oval Steel has the same fine cut on an oval rod, which puts more of the rod against the blade on each stroke and will not roll off a counter. For soft stamped butcher knives, the F. Dick 10-inch Non-Chromium Polishing Steel is the better match. Our Honing Rod Guide explains the difference between cuts. Learn More$33.15
