Victorinox 12-inch Fine Cut Honing Steel, Dark Wood Handle

A fine cut steel realigns an edge with less abrasion than a regular cut, which suits knives that are already sharp and need only a touch-up. This Victorinox 12-inch fine cut steel maintains a knife’s edge and improves its cutting ability, with a dark wood handle.

The 12-inch rod gives full coverage for chef’s knives, slicers and butchery knives up to 10 inches. Breaking knives such as the Fibrox Pro 10-inch Granton Edge Breaking Knife respond well to a fine cut, which keeps the edge keen through long sessions.

Use a few light strokes on alternate sides before each session. If the knife still drags, a regular cut or a sharpening stone is the next step.

For the same handle in a shorter regular cut, see the Victorinox 10-inch Regular Cut Honing Steel. The Victorinox 14-inch Fine Cut Honing Steel is the long fine cut. Our Honing Rod Guide compares the cuts.

    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.
