Granton 12-Inch Multi-Cut Combination Steel (Model 62102)
Why Choose a 12-Inch Steel? The Professional Standard A professional rule of thumb states that a sharpening steel should be at least as long, and ideally two inches longer, than the blade of your longest knife. This makes the 12-inch Granton steel the essential choice for anyone using longer butcher knives, scimitars (typically 10-12 inches), and slicing knives. This extended length is crucial for safety and effectiveness. It allows you to draw the entire blade from heel to tip in one smooth, continuous motion, guaranteeing an evenly honed edge while keeping your guiding hand safely away from the blade. Two Steels in One: The Multi-Cut Advantage The Model 62102 rod features two opposing sides with a fine cut and two opposing sides with a super-fine (polishing) cut, delivering a complete two-stage maintenance system. 1) Fine-Cut Surfaces: These are the workhorse sides, designed for daily honing to quickly realign a blade's edge that has started to dull or roll. 2) Super-Fine (Polishing) Surfaces: After honing, a few strokes on the super-fine surfaces provide the ultimate refinement, polishing the edge to an exceptionally keen, smooth finish.
