Smith's Edge 10" Diamond Sharpening Steel hones and realigns knife edges. Its interrupted oval surface has an overlapping oval-hole design coated with multiple layers of micron-sized monocrystalline diamonds, which collect and hold metal filings during sharpening. The rod is fine 750 grit.
It has a soft-grip rubber handle, oversized hand guard, hang-up ring and plastic sharpening tip to protect the counter. For best results, use an approximate 23-degree angle and sharpen only on the oval surface. Place the plastic tip on a solid surface, use consistent downward pressure, and make an equal number of strokes on each side, moving from the heel of the blade to its tip. Contact with parts of the knife other than the cutting edge could cause scratching.
Clean after use with soapy water and a mild nonabrasive brush; do not use a steel brush. Dry the sharpener before storing.
