and manual CrissCross
cutting edge on virtually all of your knives. The cutting edge is finely honed and polished to
extreme sharpness but retains strong microscopic teeth that gives it a highly effective bite
for all your food prep needs and especially for fibrous materials. Commonly the edge can be
resharpened in Stage 3 without the need to turn on the electrical power.
You will be pleased to see how easy the Hybrid
carefully. Keep the sharpener close at hand so that you can enjoy the pleasure of sharp
knives every day.

This advanced Hybrid
and 2, followed by a single manual honing.
In Stage 1, motor-driven, highly effective diamond abrasive disks remove the dull edge
and create a sharp fully faceted edge at the conventional 20 degrees on each side of the
blade. In Stage 2 similar technology is used with finer diamond abrasives at a slightly larger
angle to create a small second bevel along the edge. This two step sharpening and honing
process leaves a stronger – arch shaped profile along the edge for greater strength and
durability. In Stage 3 the edge is lightly polished to create a razor sharp Trizor edge of
increased perfection, sharpness and durability.
In Stage 1 there are two knife-guiding slots. These are referred to as the left and right
slots of Stage 1. Likewise in Stage 2 there are two guiding slots, left and right that sharpen
alternately the right and left side of the blade's edge. Stage 3 has only one guiding slot that
centers the blade in a manner so that both sides of the edge are honed simultaneously. When
sharpening in Stages 1 and 2, always follow an alternating pattern of sharpening in the right
and left slots. This pattern insures that both sides (facets) of the edge are sharpened alike for
better control of the cutting action of blade.
This three stage design provides the ultimate in versatility of the knife edge so that you
can tailor the edge geometry to your cutting needs. You will find that the Model 270 gives
you a very sharp edge and one that remains significant bite for some of the more difficult
cutting tasks.
