F. Dick Red Spirit 10-inch Round Regular Cut Steel

With its red handle, this 10-inch round steel completes the Red Spirit knife series and keeps those knives honed with a standard cut. Knives need regular attention on a steel to stay truly sharp, and this rod makes that part of the routine.

The round shape is symmetrical in the hand and guides the knife in a smooth, even stroke. The handle holds firm in a wet hand. Ten inches is long enough for the Red Spirit chef’s knife and the AJAX, and it suits the series’ paring and boning knives too.

Keep it by the board so a few strokes before each task become a habit, and the Red Spirit edge will stay keen between sharpenings.

Pair it with the Red Spirit 8.5-inch chef’s knife or the Red Spirit Pit Master BBQ set. For the 10-inch Hektor scimitar, a longer rod such as the F. Dick 12-inch round steel with non-slip handle gives more room.

    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

    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.
