SHARPENING STEEL
The sharpening steel should not be confused with
its similar half brother, the rod sharpener. Although
very similar in appearance, the difference lies in
the fact that the rod sharpener is made of abrasive
(material-removing) materials, such as ceramic,
synthetic ruby or a diamond-coated steel.
Since such a rod sharpener is used for sharpening,
it also differs in its handling. Used mainly for quick
“refreshing” of the sharpness in between, the
blade of the rod sharpener is usually guided along
the rod with the cutting edge first until the desired
sharpness is achieved.
4 SIEGER LONG LIFE
This sharpener, made of synthetic ruby, is 20 times
harder than hardened steel (20,000 Knoop hardness,
which is roughly a 200 hardness in Rockwell
units)! The most unusual aspect of this sharpener
is the high efficiency (taking less time for sharpening),
in combination with an extraordinarily fine
edge, allowing superior edge retention. In addition,
this sharpener will last longer than a diamond
sharpener, as it is not a coated instrument but one
of bulk material. Can be used either wet or dry,
and can be simply cleaned with a dish sponge.
Length: 20 cm.

6 BOKER STROP TOP FINISH

the knife has been sharpened on a stone like the
Belgian “Brocken.” Both surfaces are perfect for
working with the grinding pastes from the Boker
lineup. Work surface: 4 x 26 cm.
