F. Dick 12" Ultra Fine Cut Oval Steel
- 12" Sharpening Length
- Ultra Fine Cut Steel
- Oval Profile
- From the Premium Dickoron Line
The Dick 12" Oval Profile, Ultra Fine Cut Steel is designed to keep an extremely fine edge on knives for clean slicing. Part of F. Dick's premium Dickoron line, the Dick Micro is an impressive steel that combines maximum usefulness with good looks. The oval shape provides maximum contact with the blade for fast results. The grooves are so fine that the close to polished steel has very little abrasion, and mostly smooths and straightens the edge. This steel is meant to be used lightly and often, while working, before you notice any loss of cutting ability in your knife.
For organizational purposes, we classify this as a Fine Steel. It will work well to maintain a fine slicing edge on a slightly dull knife, but will not be an efficient choice to take a damaged knife back to a cutting edge. Fine Steels are used in situations where a more refined, less toothy edge is required for finer slicing. They can be used alone or after a Standard Steel to continue the sharpening process.
All F. Dick steels are designed by professionals for professionals. This is a tool that is meant to be used in a demanding kitchen, and to look good doing it. It features a large, comfortable handle with an ample guard to keep hands protected, a sturdy ring in the handle provides a convenient means of storage, and the 12" length is suitable for any knife.
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.
