  • Granton 10-Inch Multi-Cut Combination Steel (Model 62100)

    The Granton® 10-Inch Multi-Cut Combination Steel is a highly efficient tool for complete blade maintenance, designed for the professional or serious home cook who desires versatility and precision. Forged in Sheffield, England, this single steel effectively combines two distinct surfaces, providing the right tool for any situation—from daily edge alignment to final polishing. Fine-Cut Surfaces: These sides are the workhorse of the steel. They are designed for regular, daily honing to quickly realign a blade's edge that has begun to feel dull or has slightly rolled from use. They effectively restore a sharp cutting feel for continued work. Super-Fine (Polishing) Surfaces: After using the fine-cut side, or for blades that are already in good condition, a few strokes on the super-fine surfaces provide the ultimate refinement. These sides polish the edge, removing the most microscopic imperfections and creating an exceptionally keen, smooth finish that glides through food with minimal resistance. Learn More
