F. Dick 10-inch Oval Diamond Sharpening Steel with Non-Slip Handle
When a regular steel no longer brings an edge back, a diamond rod will, without soaking a stone or learning to hold an angle on one. Diamond is the fastest-cutting rod there is. This F. Dick rod is 600 grit with a solid core, and that construction matters. Diamond pressed into a solid core lasts for years, while hollow rods with an epoxied coating can wear through in six months to a year of regular use.The oval profile puts more of the rod against the blade on each stroke, so it takes fewer strokes, and you can feel the bevel against the rod more clearly. Diamond also works on hard steels that a plain steel rod cannot touch. Its one drawback is a slightly rougher finish, so it is worth following with a few strokes on a ceramic rod such as the Idahone 12-inch Fine Ceramic Sharpening Rod, Black Wood Handle.
Diamond or Steel?For daily upkeep on a knife that is still sharp, a cut steel such as the F. Dick 10-inch Round Fine Cut Sharpening Steel, Red Handle is gentler and removes less metal. Keep the diamond rod for edges that have gone dull. Our Honing Rod Guide covers when each one makes sense. Learn More$66.30 -
