INSTRUCTIONS
READ THIS BEFORE YOU START TO SHARPEN
The Chef’sChoice
®
Model 120 is designed to sharpen either Straight edge or Serrated
edge blades.
1. Sharpen Serrated Edge Blades only in Stage 3. Do not sharpen serrated blades in
Stages 1 and 2, as that will unnecessarily remove more metal from the serrations. See
Section titled Procedure for Sharpening Serrated Blades for more details.
2. Straight Edge Blades can be sharpened in all three stages, however, use of Stage 1 may
be necessary only if the knife is very dull or if you wish to create an edge with extra “bite”.
See following Section for more details.
PROCEDURE FOR SHARPENING STRAIGHT EDGE BLADES
STRAIGHT EDGE BLADES: SHARPENING FIRST TIME
Before you turn on the power, remove the cover positioned over Stage 1 and slip a knife blade
smoothly into the slot between the left angle guide of Stage 1 and the elastomeric spring.
Do not twist the knife. (See Figure 3.) (Retain the Stage 1 cover as a ready reminder of the
sharpening steps.)
Move the blade down in the slot until you feel it contact the diamond disk. Pull it towards you,
lifting the handle slightly as you approach the tip. This will give you a feel for the spring tension.
Remove the knife and press the Power Switch. A red “indicator” on the switch appears when this
switch is turned “ON.”
Stage 1: (If your knife is already reasonably sharp, skip Stage 1 and go directly to Stage 2.) If you
are sharpening a knife for the first time or if the knife is very dull, start in Stage 1. Pull the knife
once through the left slot of Stage 1 (Figure 3) by slipping the blade between the left angle guide
and the polymeric spring while pulling the blade toward you and simultaneously moving the blade
downward in the slot until it engages the diamond coated disk. You will hear it make contact with
the disk. Insert the blade as close as possible to its bolster or handle. If the blade is curved, lift
the handle slightly as you sharpen near the tip of the knife, keeping the blade edge approximately
parallel to the table. Sharpen the entire blade length. For an eight (8) inch blade, each pull should
take about 4 seconds. Pull shorter blades through in 2-3 seconds and longer blades in 6 seconds.
Next, repeat with one full length pull in the right slot of Stage 1.
Note: Each time you insert the blade you should simultaneously pull the blade toward you. Never
push the blade away from you. Apply just enough downward pressure to make contact with the
wheel - added pressure does not modify or speed the sharpening process.
To ensure even sharpening along the entire blade length, insert the blade near its bolster or
handle and pull it at a steady rate until it exits the slot. In each stage, make an equal number
Figure 3. Stage 1. Inserting blade in slot between guide
and elastomeric spring. Alternate left and right slots.
