F. Dick FineCut 12-inch Oval Steel with Non-Slip Handle

The FineCut surface looks different from most steels, with grooves shaped like a run of S curves rather than straight lines. It removes a burr and smooths the edge without leaving micro-serrations, so it is recommended for Japanese knives as well as German ones.

At 12 inches, the rod gives long slicers and 10-inch chef’s knives a full stroke from heel to tip. The oval profile presents a wide face that makes the angle easier to hold. A rod that actually straightens the edge and holds up under heavy use is what keeps a busy kitchen cutting cleanly between sharpenings.

For a cook with both German and Japanese knives, one fine cut rod can look after the whole roll.

A shorter version is the FineCut 10-inch oval steel, and a round profile is the FineCut 12-inch round steel. For more bite, the 12-inch oval regular cut steel with non-slip handle has the same shape.

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

A fine or polished surface works best with light pressure and a few alternating strokes per side. Hone regularly, before the edge goes dull, and keep a steady angle between 15 and 25 degrees. Our honing steel guide shows the motion step by step.

Care

Wipe the rod with a damp cloth after use to remove fine metal particles, then dry the rod and handle. Hang it by its ring or store it where the rod cannot knock against other tools, which can dent the cut.
