The Dick Titan is a diamond-coated oval sharpening steel designed for professional kitchen use. It is a honing tool — its purpose is to maintain a knife edge between full sharpenings, not to restore a blade that has been allowed to deteriorate significantly. Dick is a well-established German manufacturer with a long history supplying professional kitchens, and the Titan sits within their working professional line rather than their entry-level range.

In daily kitchen use, a dependable honing steel earns its keep quietly. The diamond surface realigns the edge effectively on most professional knife steels, and the oval profile helps the blade engage consistently across the full stroke. The handle provides a secure, balanced grip — useful when honing quickly during prep or between covers.

  • Diamond surface maintains a keen edge between full sharpenings
  • Oval profile promotes consistent blade angle throughout the stroke
  • Ergonomic handle gives a secure, fatigue-resistant grip
  • Robust construction suited to daily professional use
  • Compact enough for bench use or carrying in a knife roll

There are no installation or power requirements to consider. It is worth noting that the 30.5cm length suits most standard chef's knives comfortably. Longer carving or slicing knives benefit from a steel of at least matching length to allow a full honing stroke, so if your team works regularly with large blades, it is worth confirming this length meets your needs before ordering.

This steel is well suited to chefs and kitchen teams who sharpen their own knives regularly and want a reliable everyday honing tool. If you are equipping a full brigade or want guidance on matching steels to particular knife types, we are happy to help you work through the options.

Frequently asked questions

Is a diamond steel suitable for all types of professional knives?

Diamond steels work well on most high-carbon and stainless professional kitchen knives. They are not recommended for use on Japanese knives with very hard, fine-ground edges, where a ceramic or water stone is generally more appropriate. If you are unsure whether this steel suits your existing knife set, it is worth checking before use.

What is the difference between honing and sharpening, and which does this steel do?

Honing realigns the edge of a blade that has become slightly rolled or misaligned through regular use — it does not remove significant amounts of metal. Sharpening grinds the blade to create a new edge and is typically done less frequently using a stone or machine. The Dick Titan is a honing tool, intended for regular maintenance between sharpenings rather than edge restoration.

Is 30.5cm long enough for larger knives used in a busy kitchen?

For most chef's knives and general-purpose kitchen blades, 30.5cm is a practical and manageable length. For longer carving, slicing, or salmon knives, a steel of at least matching length allows a full honing stroke and generally produces a more consistent result. If your team regularly uses blades above 30cm, it is worth considering whether a longer steel would better suit your knife range.
