Sharpening Steels

Often referred to as a butcher's steel or packing house steel, the Granton® 10-Inch Magnetized Polishing Steel is the industry standard for professionals who rely on a perfect edge, shift after shift. Forged in Sheffield, England, this is not a simple honing rod; it is a precision finishing tool designed for the high-demand environments of meat processing, where safety, hygiene, and efficiency are paramount.  The Professional's Choice: The Packing House Standard Meat packers and professional butchers choose this specific type of steel for several critical reasons:  Essential Food Safety: In a commercial facility, hygiene is non-negotiable. As a knife is steeled, it sheds microscopic metal particles. The powerful magnetization of the Granton® steel instantly captures these filings, preventing them from contaminating meat or becoming airborne. Peak Efficiency and Reduced Fatigue: A polished edge glides through meat with significantly less friction than a merely honed edge. For a worker making thousands of cuts per day, this reduction in effort leads to faster work, cleaner cuts, and less physical fatigue. Superior, Longer-Lasting Edge: The super-fine polishing surface removes the microscopic "burr" left after sharpening, burnishing the steel to a flawlessly smooth, razor-keen edge that stays sharp longer under continuous use.
