So, what exactly is the difference between the F. Dick sapphire and fine cut steels? They are very similar in terms of how deeply they are grooved, but the sapphire has straight, very fine striations running from the handle to the tip as you would see on most steels. The fine cut is a wavy pattern. It kind of looks like a series of "S" shapes carved up and down the length of the rod. Because of this patterning, the fine cut is slightly more aggressive in texture than the sapphire. Learn More

Restore Factory-Level Sharpness in Seconds with the MAC Togu Stop guessing your sharpening angle. The SR-2 provides a precise 15-degree ceramic hone designed specifically for the unique geometry of Japanese steel. Named after the Japanese verb 'Togu'—meaning to sharpen or polish—this tool is the definitive solution for chefs and home cooks who demand a razor edge without the steep learning curve of traditional whetstones. Engineered for Japanese Precision Unlike generic pull-through sharpeners that use aggressive metal v-notches, the MAC Togu utilizes a high-grade ceramic wheel. This system ensures that you are removing the absolute minimum amount of steel necessary to realign and sharpen the apex. It is factory-calibrated to a 15-degree angle, perfectly matching the original edge of MAC knives. This angle is also perfectly suitable for other premium Japanese brands like Miyabi, Shun and Suncraft.. This is a quick, easy to use sharpener that prevents the 'rounding' of the edge often caused by inconsistent manual honing. Versatility Beyond the Straight Edge One of the most remarkable features of the SR-2 is its ability to maintain MAC serrated knives. By following a simple tilting technique, you can refresh the scalloped edges of your bread or utility knives—a task usually reserved for professional sharpening services. Whether you are prepping 40 lbs of mirepoix in a commercial kitchen or slicing delicate summer tomatoes at home, the Togu ensures your blade glides with zero resistance. It is mechanical, waterproof, and built to last up to five years under regular use, making it an essential companion for anyone who relies on high-performance cutlery. Learn More

Professional-Grade Lubrication for a Frictionless Edge Sharpening is a game of heat and friction management. Without the correct lubricant, even the highest-quality sharpening stone will eventually 'glaze'—a process where microscopic metal particles, known as swarf, become embedded in the stone's pores, rendering it useless. Norton 16 oz. Sharpening Stone Lubricant is engineered specifically to prevent this failure, ensuring your India or Crystolon stones remain aggressive and effective for years. The Science of Swarf Suspension This highly refined mineral oil is formulated with a specific viscosity that lifts metal filings off the stone’s surface during the sharpening stroke. By keeping these particles in suspension, the oil prevents them from clogging the abrasive grit. Unlike generic oils or lower-grade lubricants, this Norton formula is processed to meet strict United States Pharmacopoeia (USP) standards. This means it is entirely food-safe, a non-negotiable requirement for professional chefs, butchers, and home cooks who sharpen their tools in the same environment where they prep food. Why Professionals Choose Norton In high-volume environments like butcher shops or industrial kitchens, speed and hygiene are paramount. This oil does not cake, thicken, or turn rancid over time. It remains fluid, allowing for easy cleanup with a simple wipe. Whether you are performing a heavy repair on a coarse Crystolon stone or finishing a delicate edge on a Fine India oil stone, this lubricant provides the thermal stability needed to prevent localized heat buildup, which can temper the steel and ruin a blade’s hardness. Made in the USA, it represents the gold standard for traditional oil-stone maintenance. Learn More
