Dexter-Russell 10-inch No Work Smooth Steel

“No work” is Dexter-Russell’s promise that this smooth steel never needs working with emery cloth to keep its surface effective. The 10-inch NWSS-10 realigns an edge without removing metal, and Dexter pitched the No Work line to production managers as an edge maintenance tool that is easy to teach to new hires. Shoppers search for it as a smooth no work sharpening steel.

A smooth steel is the gentlest kind, a good match for cooks and meat cutters who hone often and want to keep a keen edge longer between sharpenings.

Smooth or Diamond?

When the edge needs metal removed, a diamond steel such as the Sani-Safe 12-inch Diamond Sharpening Steel does more work.
