Sabatier Sharpening Steel 8 In, Forged Base – Olive Wood – Aluminium Rivets

The steel’s handle and rod are manufactured separately.

The handle and the bolster of this steel are forged to have the same look as our fully forged knives. The sharpening rod, manufactured in high-carbon steel, is quenched providing much greater hardness than knives. 

Olive Wood handles are manually set and mounted on the tang using three through rivets.

From forging to packaging, we garantee that all our operations are performed in the Thiers region in FRANCE by skilled workers to ensure a professional quality craft finish.

 

Important point for olive wood handles: it is a natural wood. Do not wet the wood or leave it damp in order to keep a nice handle.

If you get it wet, the wood can warp or stain towards the steel tang of the knife.

You can sometimes feed the wood with oil.
