Diamond Hone® EdgeSelect® Model 120electric knife sharpener can be used for sharpening at 20˚ angle of various knife blades, depending on utility, such as food preparation, fish slicing or in butchers' shops. The device can create Trizor®Plus-type cutting edges (a patented Chef's Choice®3-stage sharpening system that creates burr-free triple edge that will stay sharp for longer than in the case of conventionally sharpened knives).

The device is providedwith three 3 sharpening stages,two of which are conical for a precise modeling, which is achieved thanks to the 100% abrasive diamond, and onepolishing / grinding stagethat is done using flexible abrasive discs.

Model 120 is designed to sharpen domestic use knives, pocket knives and certain sports knives.Do notattemptto introduce in view ofsharpeningscissors, ax blades or any blades that do not fit freely into the slots.

Serrated bladesshall be sharpened exclusively in Stage 3so as not to remove more metal from teeth than needed.

Always make sure that the knife blade is thoroughly cleaned before sharpening.

Stage1(sharpening) is fitted with fine diamond conical discs that create microgroovesalong the facets on each side of the edge, establishing the first angle of the Trizor®-type edge.

In Stage2(modeling), fine micro-grooves are created along the facets immediately adjacent to the edge by even finerdiamond discs,as they create a second well-defined angle on facets, which is a few degrees larger than the angle createdin Stage 1.

In Stage 3(grinding),the ultra-fine precision discs are setat a third, slightly larger angle. The discs polish and sand the facets adjacent to the blade, creating a third micro-angle and an edge ofmicroscopic thickness, straight and super polished, with an amazing sharpness.

The complete sharpening process for a 20 cm blade knife takes about 1 minute and, for knives with shorter or longer blades, it can take more or less time. Once the knives have been sharpened using theModel 120,resharpening takes less than 10 seconds.

The device is precise and safe,each sharpening slot being fitted with flexible springs above the sharpening discs to keep the knife blade safe from incorrect guides.

The Diamond Hone® EdgeSelect® Model 120knife sharpener is fitted with built-in diamond cleaning accessory that can be used, if necessary, to clean any food remnants or sharpening residue from the surface of the polishing / grinding discsresulted inStage 3.

Use a damp cloth to clean the sharpener.
