Personally, I leave it smooth and use it to burnish the edge on these protein knives

F. Dick Dickoron 12 in. Oval Sapphire Cut Steel

---

The F. Dick Dickoron 12 in. 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.

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.

F. Dick Eurocut 12 in. Fine Oval Steel

---

The F. Dick EuroCut 12 in. Oval Fine Cut Sharpening Steel with Black Plastic Handle is an excellent value for the quality. Rather than lateral lines being cut, this rod has a pattern that resembles a series of "S" shapes on the blade. This does a great job of refining the edge on German and Japanese steel. Very similar to other fine cut ovals, but the cost savings is in the handle, as this one is not as nice as other models. But it's not going to fall off, or come apart and the business end of this rod is terrific quality.

Shun Combination 9 in. Honing Steel

As you use your knife, the razor-sharp edge naturally bends over just a tiny bit as the edge contacts the cutting board.

It gently realigns the edge of your blade, bringing the “sharp” back. It offers two honing surfaces: a smooth one for weekly honing and a micro-ribbed one for monthly honing—depending on your usage, of course. A built-in angle guide makes it easy to hone your Shuns with ease and precision. The steel-grey handle looks beautiful with the rest of your knives.
