GETTING ACQUAINTED WITH THE MODEL 1520 SHARPENER

The Model 1520 (Figure 1) is a unique three stage sharpener with Stage 1 designed

exclusively to sharpen Asian style (15º faceted) knives. Stage 2 is designed primarily to sharpen

conventional American and European knives. Stage 3 contains the proprietary Chef’sChoice

ultraﬁne abrasive stropping disks designed for both Asian and Euro/American blades to create a

microscopic bevel along the edge and to polish it to astonishing sharpness.

Asian knives (15 degrees) are sharpened ﬁrst with ﬁne diamond abrasives in Stage 1, and then

stropped and polished in Stage 3. Optionally for a stronger edge on Asian style blades two pair of

pulls can be added in Stage 2 to form a small second bevel, before proceeding to Stage 3 which

creates the third microscopic bevel and polishes the resulting edge with micron size abrasive.

American and European knives (20 degrees) are sharpened ﬁrst with ﬁne diamond abrasives in

Stage 2, followed by stropping and polishing with micro abrasives in Stage 3. Knives of the 20º

design are not sharpened in Stage 1 unless as described later you wish to convert this 20º edge

facet to the smaller Asian angle of 15º.

Special procedures for sharpening serrated blades are included beginning on page 12.

All traditional-single sided Asian knives such as sashimi knives require special care and must be

sharpened primarily on one side of the edge as explained in later sections.

The Model 1520 is equipped with a manually actuated diamond cleaning system that can be

used, when necessary, to clean any accumulated food or sharpening debris from the surface

of the ultraﬁne abrasive Stage 3 polishing/stropping disks. We strongly urge that you always

thoroughly clean your knives before sharpening them. Unless you are a heavy user of the sharp-

ener, you will be able to sharpen for months or even a year or more before you need to clean the

stropping/polishing disks. Only if you sense a distinct decrease in polishing efﬁciency in Stage 3

is there any need to use this convenient feature described on page 13.
