F. Dick Dickoron Duo 10-inch Diamond and Ceramic Steel

When a knife needs more attention than routine honing, the Dickoron Duo can cut a fresh edge and refine it on one rod. F. Dick makes it for sharpening and honing hard grades of steel.

Two sides are diamond rods carrying millions of diamond grains, which remove metal and sharpen. The other two sides are ceramic, which smooths and straightens the edge after the diamond. A knife that has lost its edge through heavy use can get a new bevel on the diamond side and a smoother finish on the ceramic, which can save a trip to the stones.

It is a good tool for a knife roll.

For routine honing of hard knives, the Dickoron Titan 12-inch oval steel is the everyday rod. A diamond-only rod with a non-slip handle is the F. Dick 10-inch oval diamond sharpening steel. Our honing steel guide explains when to sharpen and when to hone.

    Which Cut Do You Need?

    • Regular cut: pronounced grooves remove a little metal and leave a slightly toothy edge; F. Dick calls it first aid for knives that are no longer very sharp.
    • Fine cut: removes less metal and mainly straightens a rolled edge for a smoother result.
    • Sapphire and ultra-fine cut: the Dickoron cuts, made for frequent, gentle honing of an edge that is already sharp.
    • Polished: no abrasion; straightens and polishes, and can follow a coarser steel.

    Tips for Best Results

    Use the diamond sides with light pressure only until the edge is restored, then finish with a few strokes on the ceramic. Keep the angle steady, anywhere from 15 to 25 degrees.


    Care

    Ceramic is brittle, so keep the steel where it cannot fall onto a hard floor. Wipe the rods clean after use and dry them before storing.
