F. Dick Dickoron Classic 12-inch Round Sapphire Cut Steel
The sapphire cut is used only in the Dickoron family, and this 12-inch round Dickoron Classic brings it to butchers, fishmongers and meat processors who want sharper knives and better yields. F. Dick describes the result as velvety-soft honing.The sapphire cut has straight, very fine striations running from handle to tip. It produces a uniformly sharp, fine edge that can be kept sharp for a long time before the knife needs regrinding. The round profile gives precise control along curved boning and breaking knives, and the substantial handle balances the rod well.It also fits a full-size knife roll.An oval version is the Dickoron Classic 12-inch oval steel, and the 14-inch round suits long scimitars. For a still finer cut, serious professionals choose the Dickoron Micro 12-inch Oval Super Fine Cut Steel. A lighter round steel at the same length is the EuroCut 12-inch Round Regular Cut Steel.

F. Dick EuroCut 12-inch Round Regular Cut Steel
This is the best-selling steel in our shop. The EuroCut line puts the same F. Dick rod, with the same warranty, in a less expensive handle, so the money goes into the part that touches the knife. For American and German knives, it is the best value in a honing rod we carry.Regular cut has noticeably more texture than fine cut. That extra bite keeps a working edge on knives that see heavy daily use, and it helps on tough or waxy produce such as tomatoes and bell peppers, which a fine cut can struggle with. At 12 inches, the rod is long enough to hone a 10-inch chef’s knife or slicer in one full stroke. The round profile is the one compromise, since a round rod can roll off a counter where an oval one will not.
Regular or Fine Cut?For a gentler touch-up on knives that are already sharp, the F. Dick EuroCut 12-inch Round Fine Cut Steel has the same handle and length with less texture. If you would rather have more contact with the blade and a rod that stays put on the counter, choose the F. Dick EuroCut 12-inch Oval Regular Cut Steel. Our Honing Rod Guide explains how to match a rod to your knives. Learn More$26.65 -
