Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of The Ultimate Edge Model 10NUF 10-Inch Oval Ultra Fine Diamond Finishing Steel
Customer Review: A good sharpener
Summary: 5 Stars
My son is apprenticing under the tutelage of a butcher, and his mentor recommended an oval sharpener. My son says it works well for sharpening the knives he uses during his workday.
Description of The Ultimate Edge Model 10NUF 10-Inch Oval Ultra Fine Diamond Finishing Steel
The Ultra Fine 10" Gourmet Sharpening Steel from Ultimate Edge is a premium-grade microcrystalline diamond. It's bonded with nickel to a lightweight shaft that sharpens and realigns at the same time to produce a high-grade cutting edge. No messy oil or water needed. Lightweight and easy to use, the 1800-grit diamond mesh also sharpens serrated knives. Dimensions: 10" x 1/2"Although steels often are touted as sharpening tools, few actually sharpen knife blades, but they do perform the vital task of realigning, or resetting, edges, which bend when contacting a cutting surface or other hard object. Because this tool's rod contains microcrystalline diamonds bonded with nickel to an oval steel shaft, it's hard enough to somewhat sharpen a blade. Using this steel won't replace a professional sharpening job, which proceeds from coarse grinding to ever-finer grinding at tightly controlled angles. However, it will lengthen intervals between sharpenings better than a steel without diamonds because it accomplishes the final task of a professional sharpening, which is polishing the edge with its 600-grit mesh to a fine point.
The rule is that a steel should be at least as long as the knife blade being drawn across it, and this steel's 10-inch rod is long enough for most household knives. (Overall the tool is 15-1/4 inches long.) Lightweight and durable, the tool has a rugged plastic handle with a hanging hole, can be used for serrated knives as well as straight-edge blades, and also is useful for filing glass, crystal, and china. --Fred Brack
