Understanding the Model 325 Diamond Hone
®
Sharpener
The unique Chef’sChoice® Diamond Hone® Sharpener is designed to sharpen knives
with either straight or serrated edges. This two (2) stage sharpener has a precision conical
sharpening/honing stage with fine 100% diamond abrasives and a unique polishing/strop-
ping stage using proprietary flexible abrasive disks. This combination can be used to create
either an astonishingly sharp, smooth faceted edge for effortless cutting and presentations
or one with a selected amount of residual “bite” along the facets.
The sharpening and honing actions are controlled by using precisely angled guides for the
blade and precisely matched conically surfaced abrasive disks. The sharpening angle is
slightly larger in Stage 2 than in Stage 1.
Fine diamond-coated conical disks in Stage 1 create microgrooves along the facets on
each side of the edge, establishing the first angled bevel of the edge.
In Stage 2, ultrafine abrasive disks polish and strop the facets immediately adjacent to
the edge, creating a microbevel and establishing a microscopically thin straight and super
polished edge of astonishing sharpness. The stropping action simultaneously polishes and
sharpens the boundaries of those microgrooves created by the diamond abrasives in Stage
1 adjacent to the edge until they become sharp micro flutes that will assist the cutting
action with “difficult to cut” materials.
This unique two stage design gives you an edge of remarkable sharpness and, because
of the second angle bevel it creates, you will note knives stay sharp longer than those
sharpened by conventional means.
The following sections describe the general procedures for optimal sharpening. One of the
important advantages of using the Model 325 is that you can strop and polish your knives
to razor sharp edges as often as needed and yet experience little knife wear compared to
older sharpening methods. Resharpening can commonly be done by using just the
stropping action of Stage 2. (See Resharpening Section).
The Chef’sChoice® Model 325 is equipped with manually activated diamond dressing
pads that can be used if necessary to clean any accumulated food or sharpening debris off
the surface of the polishing/stropping disks. We strongly urge you to clean knives before
sharpening them. You will find you can go months or over a year before you need to dress
these disks. Only if you sense a distinct decrease in polishing efficiency will there by any
need to use this convenient feature described further in a subsequent section.
Each sharpening stage is equipped with elastomeric guide springs that are positioned over
the sharpening disks to provide a spring action that holds the face of your knife securely
against the precision guides in the right and left slots of each stage during sharpening.
