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
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.
