The Hybrid
™
Diamond Hone
®
Models 220/210 are manufactured by Chef’sChoice
®
, the
world’s leader in cutting edge technology. These sharpeners combine advanced electric and
manual sharpening techniques to create an exceptionally effective cutting edge on virtually
all of your knives. The cutting edge is finely honed 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. The edge is surprisingly durable yet can be resharpened
quickly whenever necessary. Commonly the edge can be resharpened in Stage 2 without
the need to turn on the electrical power.
You will be pleased to see how easy the Hybrid
™
is to use and how well your knives
perform. Read and follow the instruction carefully. Keep the sharpener close at hand so that
you can enjoy the pleasure of sharp knives every day.
DESCRIPTION OF THE
CHEF’SCHOICE HYBRID
™
DIAMOND HONE KNIFE SHARPENER
The Hybrid
™
has two sharpening Stages, a first sharpening Stage that is motor driven,
followed by a honing Stage that is entirely manual in operation. The sharpening Stage 1 is
motor driven, has two slots (the two slots on the left) to sharpen alternately the left and right
side of the blade’s edge. Always follow an alternating pattern of sharpening in right and left
slots when using Stage 1. This dual-slot stage quickly establishes a sharp edge that is then
honed and finished in the manual second stage which uses only a single slot (far right slot)
that hones both sides of the edge simultaneously.
USING THE HYBRID
™
SHARPENER
Note: Always clean your knife before sharpening in the Hybrid
™
!
For your safety, keep your fingers clear of the blade edge at all times.
You will find that the Hybrid
™
can create and maintain an exceedingly sharp and
effective edge on all your conventional fine edge and serrated cutlery. The primary edge
facets are each formed in Stage 1 at a nominal 20 degrees on each side of the edge, which
results in a total primary edge of 40 degrees. Stage 2 creates a second bevel at a slightly
larger angle leaving a strong double beveled edge structure that will stay sharp longer.
Always use the sharpener with the stage numbers 1 and 2, facing you.
