Victorinox 10-inch Round Polish Steel

A polishing steel has a very smooth surface that burnishes an edge instead of abrading it. This 10-inch Victorinox round polish steel suits frequent, gentle maintenance of butcher knives, keeping a keen edge with very little wear on the blade.

Butchers trimming fat caps and slicing portions need an extremely sharp knife, and a polishing rod is an appropriate way to keep it there. It pairs well with the Fibrox Pro 10-inch Butcher Knife and other trimming knives.

Use light, quick strokes on alternate sides throughout the work. When polishing no longer restores the edge, a fine cut steel or a stone is the next step.

Keep the smooth surface clean and free of grit, and wipe it dry after each use.

For a fine cut and a polish on one rod, see the Victorinox 10-inch Combination Steel. The F. Dick 10-inch non-chromium polishing steel is another polishing option. Our Honing Rod Guide explains polishing steels.

    Victorinox Honing and Sharpening Steels

    Regular and fine cuts realign an edge during daily work; polishing steels burnish a fine edge; diamond and helical steels remove metal and are for setting or restoring an edge. Choose a steel about 2 inches longer than your longest knife. Our Honing Rod Guide explains each cut, and our Kitchen Knife Shapes guide covers the knives they maintain.

    How to Hone

    Hold the steel upright with the tip on a towel or board. Set the heel of the knife against the top of the rod at roughly 15 to 25 degrees and draw the blade down and toward you so the whole edge passes along the rod. Alternate sides for a few light strokes each; pressure does not help.


    Care

    • Wipe the rod clean after use and dry it before storing.
    • Hang it by its ring or store it in a block slot so the surface does not knock against other tools.
