Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of The Ultimate Edge Model 10NUF 10-Inch Oval Ultra Fine Diamond Finishing Steel
Customer Review: Keeps your knives sharp
Summary: 5 Stars
This steel is terrific for keeping a keen edge on my knives. I have a really good electric sharpener, but find I only have to use it about once a year. It's not only the diamond finish on this steel, but the oval shape that is so important. Unlike a regular steel that is only good for realigning an edge, this one actually sharpens. I don't use it every time--maybe once a month and 15 passes on each side is generally enough to give me a razor sharp edge. I can't imagine that the vastly more expensive steels offered could do a better job than this one. Highly recommended.
Description of The Ultimate Edge Model 10NUF 10-Inch Oval Ultra Fine Diamond Finishing Steel
The Ultimate Edge Model 10NUF Ultra-Fine finishing steel is designed as a finishing steel and not made to sharpen dull knives. Using light pressure (the weight of the knife) this steel will produce a razor edge. 10 inch by 1/2 inch oval.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
