How is the edge created by the SteelPro different from that of a conventional steel?
Because it has precision guides, the SteelPro maintains the original edge geometry. The knife-edge is not rounded off and remains razor sharp. The SteelPro’s precision guides create an “angle-of-attack” that is fixed in one direction. Steeling with the SteelPro creates uniform micro-serrations on the knife-edge that cut better and evenly distributes the cutting load. The edge lasts longer and needs to be steeled less often, thereby extending the life of the knife. With conventional steels, the “angle-of attack” varies along the length of the edge with every stroke of the knife. The result is non-uniform edge formation, portions of which fail prematurely.
