F. Dick EuroCut 12-inch Round Fine Cut Steel

The EuroCut fine cut has lighter lines than the regular cut, so it leaves a smoother, less roughened edge. That edge slices fish and beef cleanly without tearing, which makes this 12-inch round steel a good choice for portioning and carving.

Fine cut steels remove less metal and mainly straighten a rolled edge, so they suit knives that are honed regularly and kept sharp. The round profile gives precise contact along curved blades such as boning knives and scimitars. Twelve inches lets a long slicer pass the rod in one stroke.

It is a good second steel beside a regular cut.

For more bite on vegetables, the round regular cut sibling is the EuroCut 12-inch Round Regular Cut Steel, our best-selling steel overall. An oval version of this rod is the EuroCut 12-inch oval fine cut steel. For a finer finish still, serious professionals choose the Dickoron Micro 12-inch Oval Super Fine Cut 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 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.
