FISCHER Fine Cut Sharpening Steel Oval Rod 30cm – Black Handle

A knife without an appropriate level of sharpness might represent a great risk inside your kitchen, because this might lead you to apply extra force, which might lead to an accident in your kitchen. This is why, all your steel knives should be sharpened in a regular basis, and one way to do it is using the FISCHER fine cut sharpening steel shown in this page.

This sharpening steel is a must-have for all professional chefs working in restaurants and hotels. It has an oval rod with a length of 30 centimeters. This means that it can be used to sharpen knives with blades that are 30cm or shorter.

Another characteristic of the rod is that it is fine cut. This means that it provides a fine sharpening to the edge of the blade, ensuring great sharpness and a great cutting performance of the knife. We recommend you to use it only with knives that have lost just a little bit of its sharpness and not with fully blunt knives.

The handle of this sharpening steel is made of a black, synthetic material that is safe for a kitchen environment. It has an ergonomic design that lets you hold the steel with great comfort. In addition, it has a loop attached to it which can be used as a hanger so that you can easily store the sharpening steel on the wall.

Even if this sharpening steel is recommended for professional chefs who have experience handling sharpening steels, we still want to share with you some quick tips of how to properly use it. First, you hold the steel vertically in one hand while resting the end of the rod on a secure surface. Next, you have to angle the blade of the knife and pass the edge of the blade along the steel in continuous “sweeping” repetitions.
