Friedr. Dick COMBI Sharpening Steel

The dual-sided design allows you to perform two essential maintenance tasks with one tool. The sapphire cut side removes material to realign and sharpen a dull edge, while the polished side smooths and refines the edge for a razor-sharp finish.

Yes, it is designed for standard kitchen knives. However, because it is a steel, it is best used for regular edge maintenance and honing rather than repairing heavily chipped or severely damaged blades.

A hardness rating of 65 HRC indicates a very hard, durable core. This ensures the steel maintains its own integrity over time, meaning it won't wear down quickly even with the daily use required in professional butcher environments.

The handle is ergonomically shaped to provide a secure, comfortable grip, which is essential for maintaining the correct angle while sharpening. It is also made from hygienic plastic, making it easy to clean and sanitize after use.

The blade length is 11.81 inches. This length is ideal because it accommodates almost any standard kitchen knife, allowing you to draw the entire length of the blade across the steel in one smooth, controlled motion.
