Ive worked in the meat trade for countless years, a sabatier would be snapped in two in no time at all and the edge probably wouldn't keep long enough, most boning halls ive worked in use these.

Victorinox are also decent, a knife is only as sharp as the person sharpening it.

Most of the time we use an orange whetstone with sunflower oil, a steel is just for bringing the edge back, a multicut steel would be easiest for a beginner to work with.

However this kind of steel is gaining popularity.

Globals look good which is part of their appeal. They are too heavy so break when dropped and the handles are slippery when wet. Victorinox blades stay sharper for longer are better to hold. They also put up with the complete disregard for thier sharpness and welfare that my MRS subjects them to and still cut things well.

Get 3 or 4 Sebatiers - and use the steel regularly.

Common misconception, a steel doesn't make an edge all it does is takes away any imperfections, it's the stone that puts the edge on then you use the steel to make it finer/sharper.

If anything a steel is taking your edge away.

I bought a set of Antony Worrall Thompson knives (RRP£139) off of e-bay for £27. now I know they are not in the class of Global or Frieder Dick but for £27 you cannot go far wrong
