What is sophisticated steel?
Honing steel, also commonly referred to as steel or snipe steel or chef rod, is a tool used to focus blades, especially knives. Sometimes they are also used to focus the scissor blades. Pure stainless steel is the most common material used in the production of hunting steels. Some styles can be alloyed to prevent rust, and others are magnetized to improve the focus process by pulling the fibers cutting edge back into the shape.
The design of steel focus is quite simple. It consists of a cylindrical rod up to 12 inches (30.48 cm) long, which has longitudinal combs from top to bottom. This rod is attached to the handle with a glue or screw and often has a tear, a metal square, between the handle and the rod to protect the hand of the user. The blade of the knife is chased by dragging the blade against a rod with light pressure at different angles to remove rounded or blunt edges from the blade. If the blade has completely lost its advantage, the Cannot will sharpen properly with the hunting steel and can be reachedOvit only with a grinding wheel.
Only high -quality knives that have carbon in blades can be successfully sharpened using a splendid steel. Knives, which are 100% stainless steel, can be sharpened in this way, but their edge becomes boring again. Many pure stainless steel knives are "no focus" varieties that keep their advantage quite well for several years.
High quality cutlery is made of three types of metal and alloys, including pure carbon, high carbon and very high carbon stainless steel. Clean carbon is the softest and has been considered the only viable option of butchers and chefs for many years, but is very susceptible to rust and stains. Sligned varieties resist stains and rust and respond well to focus and holding the edge. The middle class, the high carbon variety, is usually preferred by color and corrosion, easily takes and holds a sharp edge and is flexible. The amount of carbon at carbonAnd very high carbon knives are between 0.45% and 0.50%.
Often there is confusion about the difference between hunting and sniper knives and blades. Both techniques, if properly applied to the right surfaces, can provide positive results. The main difference in methods is what happens to blades during processes.
The knife is cut with small teeth on its cutting edge and becomes boring with repeated use. The hunting steel restores these teeth to their original shape and the knife becomes sharp again. Running is a flat tool used to focus the blade by removing the metal from the edge of the blade, which practically replaces the original cutting surface. Hunting steels do not do a very good work on stainless steel knives and cut stones are not good for focusing knives with carbon in blades.
