The 30.5cm steel features an oval cross-section blade in German steel with a regular cut, designed to realign and maintain the edge of kitchen knives between sharpenings. It is not a sharpener in the grinding sense — it hones, which means it restores the edge alignment that drifts with regular use rather than removing significant material from the blade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn a busy kitchen environment, knife edges lose their bite quickly. A quality honing steel used consistently throughout service keeps blades performing at their best without the need for frequent re-grinding. The oval profile of this steel provides a more controlled contact angle than a round steel, which suits chefs who want consistency across different knife types. The handle is designed for a secure grip, which matters when the steel is being used at pace during a busy service.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePractical advantages of this steel include:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOval blade profile for controlled honing angle on varied knife types\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRegular cut suited to most commercial kitchen knives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGerman steel construction for wear resistance and longevity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSafe-grip handle for confident use under kitchen conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact enough for daily bench use without taking up significant space\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis steel is well suited to professional kitchens where knives are in constant use and edge maintenance is part of the daily routine. It is a sound choice for chefs who prefer to maintain their own knives rather than relying solely on periodic sharpening. For very heavy-duty use across a large brigade, a longer or coarser-cut steel may be worth considering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you are unsure which cut or length of steel best fits your knife set and working style, the team is happy to talk it through with you.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dick","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46834424807741,"sku":"DL339","price":70.35,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1753\/9017\/products\/c9ea6890287e4eaae687fb1206fc042e.jpg?v=1692654503"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.advantage-catering-equipment.co.uk\/collections\/dick-knife-sharpening.oembed","provider":"Advantage Catering Equipment","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
