The F. Dick Dickoron 30 cm(12") Oval Sapphire Cut Steel is one of the most preferred steels of professionals in Germany because they are chromed for the hardness that high carbon steel knives require. Provides an extremely sharp cutting edge.
Made in Germany, the F.Dick Dickoron Sharpening Steels have been designed with ergonomics and comfort in mind. For over 80 years now, DICKORON classic has remained the renowned and popular classic from the DICKORON family. The special sapphire cut allows for velvety-soft honing, and your knife receives a uniformly sharp and fine cutting edge. The knife's cutting edge can be kept sharp for a very long time with DICKORON until regrinding is required.
So, what exactly is the difference between the F. Dick sapphire and fine cut steels? They are very similar in terms of how deeply they are grooved, but the sapphire has straight, very fine striations running from the handle to the tip as you would see on most steels. The fine cut is a wavy pattern. It kind of looks like a series of "S" shapes carved up and down the length of the rod. Because of this patterning, the fine cut is slightly more aggressive in texture than the sapphire.
