The unique Chef'sChoice
with either straight or serrated edges. This two (2) stage sharpener (Figure 1) has a precision
conical sharpening/ honing stage with fine 100% diamond abrasives and a unique polishing/
stropping stage using proprietary flexible abrasive disks. This combination can be used to create
either an astonishingly sharp, smooth faceted edge for effortless cutting 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 establish 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" items.
