Friedr. Dick Dickoron Sharpening Steel

The sapphire cut provides a fine, low-abrasion surface that is ideal for honing. It effectively realigns the knife edge and removes microscopic burrs without removing excessive metal, which helps extend the life of your blade.

While it is a professional-grade tool used by butchers and chefs, it is accessible for home cooks as well. The ergonomic handle and built-in finger guard provide extra safety and stability, making it easier to maintain a consistent angle while honing.

The rod is 12 inches long, which is a standard length for professional honing steels. This length is versatile enough to handle almost any kitchen knife, from small paring knives to large chef's knives and slicers.

This is a honing steel, not a sharpener. It is designed to maintain an already sharp edge by realigning the metal fibers. If your knife is completely dull or has a damaged edge, you will need to use a sharpening stone or system first before using this steel for maintenance.

Yes, it features an integrated hang hook at the base of the handle, which is designed for convenient storage on a hook or rack. While the steel rod itself is magnetic, the handle is made of plastic, so it is best stored by the hook rather than relying on a magnetic strip.
