What?

I think he's saying he uses a knife and a butcher's steel, but there is a smooth steel (ie, without grooves) he is looking for.

Some people put their steels on a belt sander to make it more fine... not sure about the plastic part.

You mean a knife steel that can cut plastic and never go dull?

you're asking about a honing steel, right?

i use a mundial 12" diamond coated "steel" at my house (model #3311-12)

mundial also makes smooth polished steels (non diamond coated).

No.

Hope this helps.

If I'm understanding this, plastic is accumulating on his smooth hone and it needs to be sanded off. The OP seems to be asking about a steel hone that doesn't need to be sanded to remove the accumulated plastic.

why would plastic accumulate on a honing steel? I'm confused too.

Hhhmmm, yeh, that has me stumped. Language barrier maybe? Doesn't the goo(or sebo, as we call it here) accumulate when you're cutting a lot of beef?

it could be that when he's steeling his knife, the handle is rubbing into the ridged surface of his current honing steel. the OP will have to chime in.
