Quality and Economy
The 3" Regular Cut Round Profile Pocket Steel is for those who want the high quality of an F. Dick steel in a size that can easily be carried anywhere. The Pocket Steel has a 3" long round steel with a standard cut for general purpose work on almost any knife. It is a practical tool for maintaining a very good edge on knives in the field, shop or kitchen.
Standard Steel
We classify this as a Standard Steel. Standard Steels have relatively heavy grooves and work well to restore an edge on a dull knife. Standard Steels leave a toothy edge that will cut well, but may have a bit of a sawing action. They can be used as stand-alone steels, or as a coarser lead-in to Fine Steels.
Made To Be Used
All F. Dick steels are meant to be used by demanding sharpeners. This Pocket Steel is 7 1/8" long overall in the open position and 4 1/2" long in the closed position. The working length of the steel is 3". The working steel is 3/16" in diameter with a regular or standard cut, and is screwed securely in place in both the open and closed positions. A clip on the handle keeps it in place in your pocket or pack.
Highest Quality Sharpening Steels Since 1873
And F. Dick has been around even longer than that. Johann Friedrich Dick founded the company in 1778 to manufacture files. They began making sharpening steels in 1873, and have been producing the finest quality steels in Germany as a family owned business ever since. They are rightfully proud of their manufacturing process. The cuts on each steel are made using files also produced by F. Dick. The steels are hardened to 66HRc, surface coated for lasting corrosion protection, and handles are permanently mounted. Each steel is quality checked and stamped "F. DICK Made in Germany". You can be assured that you are getting time-tested quality when you purchase these steels.
