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.Customer Review: Just as sharp as you start with
Summary: 4 Stars
This is an excellent tool. However you need to start with a nearly perfect blade. If you start with an unsharp blade this fine tool will be unable to help. You should use a regular steel or even better a more coarse sharpening stone/steel then follow by this for final honing.
It does give a really fine edge to knives and the few that are sharp enough to take it in my house really show a difference in use against typically difficult items like mincing really fine onion.
Customer Review: WTF?
Summary: 2 Stars
I stumbled upon this while looking for a good honing steel. So, is this steel 1800-grid as is claimed in the product advertisement, or is it 600 grid as is stated in the Amazon review? I don't care, but I'm not buying it. Please get your information straight Amazon.Customer Review: Not pretty, but works well
Summary: 5 Stars
There isn't much you can say about a sharpening steel. It sharpens well, and is extremely fine for keeping already sharp blades at their sharpest. The handle is ugly gray plastic, but it seems solidly put together, and is easy to work with.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.
