Greetings! Well, bah humbug, it is that time of year – the curmudgeon in me is not allowed to run or hide. But after these two challenging years, I am dedicating myself to embracing all the good.  Thanks to you business has been great. So, let me say Happy Toolidays to you! This edition of Sharp & to the Point: A Shameless Shill for Hock Tools is what my wife Linda likes to call our most shameless shill of the year. We gather in one list our tools retailing for up to $50. Each tool is linked back to the website for further details. We’ve added a bit about the Hock Tools 12" Smooth Steel, which is a good companion to your slicing knife kit, and a much better kitchen tool than one of grooved and magnetized sharpening rods. Of course, if there is anything you need from Hock Tools, please let me know.

The Hock Tools Steel Waits for Your Handle and Goes Great with Your Slicing Knife Kit.

I find those most steels on the market to be much too aggressive. A smooth sharpening steel is like the burnisher you use on your scraper blades. It doesn’t abrade or remove any metal as it re-forms the cutting edge. You hold the edge against the steel and, with moderate pressure, slide the edge on the sharpening steel. By doing so you force the steel to “flow” back into place. By steeling both sides you reshape the edge to the center line and your knife is sharp once again. Ron Hock

Hock Tools 12" Smooth Sharpening Steel Hock Tools’ smooth steel can be used as-is, but it’s easy to add a handle. Drill a 3/8” diameter hole into a handle-worthy piece of wood and insert the rod with a dab of epoxy. Shape the handle to suit. Please note that this steel rod is not stainless. To avoid corrosion, clean and dry it after use.
