F. Dick 8 in. Coarse Cut Sharpening Steel
This smaller length sharpening steel is marketed by the manufacturer as a "household" steel. It is a hard chromed rod that works extremely well for renewing the edge on standard German and American steel blades. It is also used extensively by our poultry processors who use 5 and 6 inch boning knives. This is also a good choice for a hunter's field kit as they are small, lightweight and easier to pack than a standard 10 or 12 inch rod. Learn More$22.10
