F. Dick 12-inch Oval Regular Cut Steel

An oval rod gives the knife a broader face to ride on, which makes a steady angle easier to hold, and this 12-inch F. Dick steel pairs that shape with a regular cut. It is F. Dick’s entry point into its sharpening steels, with the same rod quality and a simpler handle.

Regular cut grooves straighten and align a beveled edge on most German and American knives and give the edge a little tooth for slicing vegetables. The 12-inch length lets a 10-inch chef’s knife or a long slicer travel the full rod in one stroke. For knives harder than 60 Rockwell, a harder surface such as the Dickoron Titan 12-inch oval steel is a better match.

A round version is the F. Dick 10-inch round regular cut steel. With a metal finger guard, the F. Dick 12-inch oval regular cut butcher steel is the next step up, and the EuroCut 12-inch oval regular cut steel is another option.

    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.

    F. Dick Plastic Handle Steels Compared

    A round rod touches the edge at one point; an oval rod presents a wider face. Our honing steel guide explains how to choose.

    Tips for Best Results

    Hold the knife at a steady angle anywhere from 15 to 25 degrees and draw the full edge, heel to tip, along the rod with light pressure. Alternate sides for a few strokes each. Our honing steel guide walks through the technique.


    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.
