Victorinox 12-inch Oval Diamond Sharpening Steel
The Victorinox 12-inch oval diamond sharpening steel is a 600 grit steel with a hollow rod coated in diamond. Diamond removes metal, so this steel sharpens a dull edge rather than only realigning it.The oval shape gives more contact between the steel and the edge of the blade on each stroke. The black nylon handle is non-slip and comfortable in either hand. It is made in the USA.Use light pressure; diamond cuts quickly, and a few strokes on each side are usually enough. Follow with a fine cut steel or a ceramic rod to smooth the edge.Rinse the rod and wipe it dry after use to keep metal filings from clogging the diamond surface. Never use oil on a diamond steel.For a round, solid-core diamond rod, see the Victorinox 12-inch Round Solid Core Diamond Steel.
