F. Dick Dickoron Polish 12-inch Oval Polished Steel

For extreme sharpness on knives with a very slim edge angle, F. Dick makes the Dickoron Polish. Its highly polished surface straightens the edge and polishes it without wearing the knife, which suits repetitive use through a long day.

Meat processors, butchers and sushi chefs choose a polished steel over a coarser one when they want the smoothest possible edge. The Polish can follow a coarser steel to refine an edge the fine cut has roughened. The substantial Dickoron handle balances the 12-inch oval rod.

A few light strokes before each service keep a thin edge standing upright, and the knife needs the stones less frequently.

For a little more correction, the Dickoron Micro 12-inch Oval Super Fine Cut Steel adds an ultra-fine cut. A square rod with both sapphire and polished faces is the Dickoron Combi 12-inch square steel. A smaller polished rod with a non-slip handle is the Poliron 10-inch oval steel.

    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 after each use to clear metal particles from the cut, and dry it before storing. Keep it on a hook or in a knife roll so the surface is not scratched by other tools.
