Chef's Choice Multi-Edge Diamond Hone Knife Sharpener

Chef's Choice Multi-Edge Diamond Hone Knife Sharpener Review



Chef's Choice Multi-Edge Diamond Hone Knife Sharpener Feature

  • Sharpens any straight-edge or serrated knife
  • Works for kitchen, outdoor, and pocket knives
  • Two-stage system double-bevels straight-edge blades for long-lived edges
  • One-stage system straightens and sharpens serrated blades
  • Precise, V-shaped guides eliminate mistakes
Diamond abrasives in this tool actually sharpen a knife rather than simply realign its edges, as most sharpeners and sharpening steels do. For right-handers and left-handers alike, it's simplicity itself to use. Grasp the handle and draw a straight-edge blade back and forth through the stage 1 guide 25 to 50 times to coarsely bevel it. Then move the blade to the stage 2 guide and draw back and forth 10 times through finer diamond crystals for the second, fine-edged bevel. Serrated blades go only through stage 2. By turning, rollers demonstrate that a blade is properly straight so it is being beveled at the precise angle required. Lightweight but tough, the sharpener is formed of silver and black plastic. It's 6-1/2 inches by 2-1/4 inches, small enough to take on a camping or hunting trip. --Fred Brack If you find sharpening steels a bit intimidating and haven't the faintest idea what to do with a whetstone, consider this manual sharpener. Precision sharpening angle control, two-stage sharpening, and 100 per cent diamond abrasives come together in an easy-to-use design. Safe for quality knives this breakthrough sharpener puts an excellent, longer lasting edge on both straight edge and serrated blades.
