Are there any tips for using a Chef’s Choice Electric Knife Sharpener?
Chef’s Choice Sharpeners are easy to use, however the tips below along with the instruction manual, will provide you with everything you need to know to operate the sharpener. A) Unless you have special blades designed to be sharpened primarily on one side (such as Japanese Kataba blades), you should sharpen equally on both sides of your knife. You can do this by alternating the strokes through the left and right slots of each stage. B) Never operate the sharpener from the backside. C) Use just enough downward pressure to insure uniform and consistent contact of the blade with the abrasive disks on each stroke.
