F. Dick 14-inch Round Regular Cut Butcher Steel

Long knives need a long rod, and this 14-inch F. Dick butcher steel gives scimitars, breaking knives and doner slicers enough length to sweep the full edge. It is built for butchers and processors who work with blades over 10 inches.

A metal finger guard adds weight to the handle end, which balances the long rod and protects the hand. The regular cut straightens edges dulled by bone and joints and leaves enough bite for clean trimming. The extra length makes it harder to fit in a knife roll, so it is best kept on a hook or in a scabbard at the cutting station.

For knives under 10 inches, the 12-inch round butcher steel is easier to carry. The same length with a sapphire cut is the Dickoron Classic 14-inch round steel, and a non-slip handle version is the F. Dick 14-inch round steel with non-slip handle.

    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.
