Where's Tony G when you need him?

You want a smooth steel, not the typical grooved type.

Good advice!! Ex butcher here. F. Dick are the best and smooth is the way to go. These people are knowledgeable and will treat you right.

Smooth, yes, because we are realigning the edge rather than removing any metal. I would just curious as to which models people liked.

Thanks for the info

I use a smooth F.Dick for realigning edges when I am cutting up deer or for kitchen use. The Diamond steel in the attachment will put an edge on Bussekin steels like you wouldn't believe. Just 2 or 3 light strokes per side. As Jerry would say, YOWZA.:thumbup:
