Sharpening steel

[bocephus]

marzig20 I agree a steel only realigns the edge and should be used that way, although when deboning I use mine quite often because of hitting bone.

[marzig20]

bocephus very true! Bone contact is the hardest thing on the edge of a knife and honing cannot be avoided.

Tex_77 Sheesh, never knew those steel were so 🤯‍

Ya steels are apparently pretty pricey for higher end ones.

Dr_Pain If you take care of them though you will passing them down to the next generation and beyond, just like a quality knife.

Dr_Pain An investment for sure, but one that will out live your knives if you take care of it. Working commercially in shops, on kill floors, on farms and in the woods, I’ve put these things through it all. F. Dick steels will stand the test of time.

Deepwoodsbutcher If their steels are anything like their stuffer, they are indestructible. I have their 30 pound stuffer; never have to worry about it being difficult to stuff casing.

Chef An F. Dick stuffer would be an awesome piece of kit! They do some good work.

Occasionally they show up on the used equipment market. I can’t picture myself ponying up for a new one though.
