F. Dick EuroCut 12-inch Oval Fine Cut Steel

Butchers, sushi chefs and meat processors want an edge that cuts flesh without tearing, and this 12-inch EuroCut oval steel with a fine cut gives it. The edge is finer than a regular cut leaves, so slices of meat and fish come away clean.

An oval face spreads contact across a wider area of the edge, which makes it easier to keep the angle steady during quick touch-ups at the board. The fine grooves remove little metal, so the rod can be used throughout a shift without wearing the knife down. The length suits slicers and breaking knives as well as chef’s knives.

A light touch is all it needs.

For more bite on vegetables, the EuroCut 12-inch oval regular cut steel is the sibling. A round version of this cut is the EuroCut 12-inch round fine cut steel, and a fine cut oval with a non-slip handle is the FineCut 12-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.

    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

    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.
