The Dick 8" Kitchen Sharpening Steel is designed with home users in mind. It is a small steel that will fit in many knife blocks, perfect for practicality in a home kitchen. The Kitchen Steel is a Coarse Cut with a round profile. The 8" length makes storage easy, and the Coarse Cut is aggressive enough to restore an edge quickly.
We classify this Coarse Cut 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 or Polished Steels. If you have just one steel, it is likely a Standard Steel.
All F. Dick steels are high quality and well designed. This is a tool that is meant to be used in a home kitchen. 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 if necessary, but the 8" length will fit in many knife blocks.
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.
