Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of The Ultimate Edge Model 10NUF 10-Inch Oval Ultra Fine Diamond Finishing Steel

Customer Review: works well but poorly built
Summary: 3 Stars

First the good....this rod keeps my edges like razors.

The bad....
I was somewhat disappointed with the quality of the materials used in construction....everything from the plastic used in the handle to the grit itself. The entire piece just feels flimsy in your hand and i feel like if it slipped away from me and hit a hard floor it might break. The abrasive surface does an excellent job on my blades but for what little I use this piece, I already feel like it is wearing out and don't expect this tool to last long. And no...I don't abuse it when I use it.

I don't want to be too negative. This rod does do a good job, there just might be better out there. It looks a little out of place in a block of high quality blades and will probably wear out sooner than you wish.

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
