SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

YOU MADE

A GOOD

CHOICE

Congratulations on your selection of the Model 310 Chef’sChoice

Diamond Hone

Sharpener. It will put an incredibly sharp edge on all your

kitchen, pocket and ﬁllet knives.

Although the Chef’sChoice

Diamond Hone

Sharpener is easy to use, it is

important that you read through this instruction booklet thoroughly before

you use the sharpener so you can optimize your sharpening results.

Gourmet cooks and sportsmen world-wide acknowledge the value of a

ﬁne cutting edge. As an owner of a Chef’sChoice

sharpener you have

the ﬁnest and easiest system presently known to man to place incredibly

sharp edges on all your knives. For the ﬁrst time it will be a joy to sharpen

your knives. Remember, a sharp knife is a safe knife because you expect it

to be sharp and respect it. With the Chef’sChoice

you will be able to place

better than razor sharp edges on your knives regardless of the type of steel

or the quality of the knife.

You will ﬁnd your knives stay sharp longer and reward you with years of

superior performance. Whether you are cutting, slicing or chopping, it will

be a pleasure.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR SHARPENER

Before using your sharpener you may wish to become familiar with its features.

1. Place Chef’sChoice

Diamond Hone Sharpener on a level table or kitchen counter surface.

Do not plug the sharpener cord into an outlet.

2. (Refer to Figures 1 and 2). Pick up a kitchen knife and place the heel area of the knife blade

in any of the sharpening slots. Loosen your grip. You will notice that the knife will be pulled

to the side of the slot and into the slot by a magnet.

3. Now, while holding the knife with a secure yet relatively loose grip as in Figure 4, pull the

knife blade towards you while allowing the knife blade to lie against the magnet. Let the

magnet establish the blade angle. Except when sharpening the tip, keep the knife blade

level with the table.

“BREAKING-IN” YOUR KNIFE

When sharpening a knife for the ﬁrst time with Chef’sChoice

, it is necessary ﬁrst to reangle

the factory edge– a process called “Breaking-in” your knife. For each knife this is a one-time

operation.

Because factory edge angles vary widely, it is essential that the initial sharpening in Stage 1

be sufﬁcient to completely reangle the factory edge. This takes extra time. However, once this

“Break-in” process is complete, a knife can be resharpened very quickly.

Place the Chef’sChoice

on a sturdy table or counter. Plug the sharpener cord into an

appropriate electric outlet.

Press the switch, on the lower right front of the sharpener, to “ON”. Hold knife with the illustrated

grip shown in Figure 4. Place the heel area of the knife blade in the left SHARPENING slot of

Stage 1.

STAGE 1

Using a secure yet relatively loose grip, pull the knife toward you allowing the magnet to position

the blade at the proper sharpening angle. Let the magnets control blade angle. Apply light to

moderate downward pressure on the knife blade. Do not apply excessive pressure or you will

stop the orbiting action. Keep the blade level as you pull it through that slot. After you pull the

knife through the left SHARPENING slot, place the knife in the right SHARPENING slot and pull

through in the same manner. Repeat these two (2) steps 15 to 20 times alternating left and right

slots. With relatively new knives, these 20 passes (on each side), will be sufﬁcient to reangle

(“Break-in”) the factory edge.

You can verify that the “Break-in” process is complete by moving your ﬁnger carefully across

and away from the edge to feel for a burr. Any burr will be present on the last unsharpened side.

When a burr forms on each successive stroke the “Break-in” process is complete. With most

knives the burr is relatively easy to feel; however, with harder knives the burr will not be as

evident. With very dull knives or very thick knives, more than twenty (20) pulls on each side may

be required to “Break-in” the knife.

You should take approximately three (3) seconds for each pass to pull a 6” long knife through

each slot. A longer blade will require more time; for example take ﬁve (5) seconds for a

10” blade. To sharpen the tip area of the blade lift the handle slightly as the curved portion of

the blade moves through the sharpening area. Keep the edge portion of blade being sharpened

nominally “parallel” to the table. NEVER PUT THE TIP OF THE BLADE INTO THE SLOT FIRST AND

PUSH THROUGH.

With a new sharpener some diamond particles may tend to “grab” the knife. Less downward

pressure on the knife and “conditioning” of the diamond particles will minimize the tendency for

this to occur. (SEE “SUGGESTIONS”)

Before leaving Stage 1 pull the knife through each slot with four (4) relatively fast pulls—

about one (1) second each, alternating between the left and right SHARPENING slots. This will

complete the “Breaking-in” process.

Stage 1. “Breaking-in” knife in Stage 1 will take 15 to 20 passes through each slot, alternating left and right slots.

Subsequent resharpenings require fewer passes in Stage 1. Apply light to moderate downward pressure.

STAGE 2

The ﬁnal operation is HONING, Stage 2. Using these slots, again take about three (3) seconds

per pass for a 6” blade. As in Stage 1, alternate each pull from one HONING slot to the other.

Do not apply downward pressure on knife in this stage. You should pull the blade through both

HONING slots four (4) to six (6) times. Complete HONING with eight (8) to twelve (12) fast pulls,

(one [1] second each), alternating between the left and right slots.

After sharpening, wipe the blade clean, test for sharpness and use. If the knife is not sharp

enough repeat Stages 1 and 2. Your knife should be razor sharp.

RESHARPENING

After normal use you can resharpen your knife quickly. Starting with SHARPENING (Stage 1)

make eight (8) to ten (10) passes through each slot, alternating left and right. Complete with

eight (8) fast passes each side in Stage 1 before moving to Stage 2. In HONING (Stage 2) make

four (4) to six (6) passes through each slot, alternating left and right. Complete with eight (8) fast

passes each side. In RESHARPENING you are removing only micro amounts of steel immediately

adjacent to the edge— a unique feature of Chef’sChoice

that allows you to resharpen often

without any concern for the life of your knife.

SUGGESTIONS

Chef’sChoice

Professional Model 310 is designed to produce incredibly sharp knife edges in a

fast and easy manner. To ensure that you obtain razor sharp edges we suggest:

1. “Breaking-in” Suggestions. “Breaking-in” can be likened to commercial sharpening to

produce a factory-like edge. This is a one time operation for each knife, but it is important to

“break-in” the knife adequately. It is relatively easy to determine what is adequate and avoid

needless removal of excessive steel from your blade edge. You need sharpen in Stage 1 only

until the knife edge on successive pulls develops a burr along its entire edge. You can verify

there has been sufﬁcient sharpening by moving your ﬁnger carefully across and away from

the edge to feel for the burr. A burr will be present on that last unsharpened side. With a soft

steel knife (and most are soft) you will usually ﬁnd a burr develops when you have pulled the

knife through Stage 1, 15 to 20 times on each side. With unusually hard steel knives you may

ﬁnd it necessary to pass through Stage 1 more than twenty (20) times on each side. With

harder steel knives, the burr will not be as evident. Remember, in Resharpening you need

pass through Stage 1 only eight (8) to ten (10) times.

Stage 2. Four (4) to six (6) passes alternating through each slot, (left and right HONING slots). Apply no downward

pressure in Stage 2.

You can speed the “breaking-in” process by applying light to moderate downward pressure

on the knife in Stage 1. Do not apply any pressure in Stage 2.

2. Slow down! Pull the knife through the sharpening slots slowly. Allow one (1) second

for each two (2) inches of knife blade on the “slow pulls,” i.e., three (3) seconds for a six (6)

inch knife. For optimum results, give yourself at least the full three (3) seconds, and maybe a

little more.

3. Additional pulls through Stage 2. For the ultimate in sharpness make three to four extra

normal pulls through Stage 2 and then make three to four “fast pulls” on each side through

Stage 2. If your knife is not razor sharp, review the suggestions above and repeat the entire

sharpening procedure.

4. Make sure that the knife is kept level. This means that the knife edge should be main-

tained in parallel position relative to the table the sharpener sits on. By maintaining it level, the

edge will be sharpened more uniformly. When you sharpen the tip area, lift the handle

up slightly so that the edge along the tip can be maintained “parallel” to the table and

sharpened completely.

5. Your grip on the knife. Let the magnets control the knife position and sharpening angle. To

do this, place the knife in the slot and lean the knife face against the face of the magnet—

then loosen your grip sufﬁciently so that the magnets can pull the knife into position. Do not

ﬁght the magnets. Apply light to moderate pressure in Stage 1 and no pressure in Stage 2.

With very heavy knives, thick knives or knives with wide cutting edge facets, if there is a

tendency for the knife to chatter or vibrate in Stage 1 or 2, lift up slightly to relieve some of

the knife’s weight pressing on the orbiting diamond plate and slow down a little.

6. Serrated knives. While the Chef’sChoice

sharpener is designed for non-serrated knives, it

will improve the performance of serrated knives by sharpening the tips of the serrations. Do

not oversharpen in Stage 1. With serrated knives, fewer pulls are typically required in Stage

1 before proceeding to Stage 2. If excessive chattering occurs in Stage 1, skip this Stage and

proceed to Stage 2.

7. Conditioning the diamonds. With a new sharpener some diamond particles may tend to

“grab” the knife blade, particularly small pocket knife blades. Sharpening 3 or 4 large kitchen

knives ﬁrst, before sharpening pocket knives, will signiﬁcantly reduce this tendency.

By giving careful attention to these suggestions, all of your kitchen knives will be razor sharp.

Because of the ultra sharpness and perfection of the edge, use of a sharpening steel or any other

sharpening device on your newly sharpened edge will only deteriorate the edge quality.

CHEF’S KNIVES AND PARING KNIVES

The blade of a well designed chef’s knife is curved continuously from the blade tip to the end

near the handle so that, with a rocking action on a cutting surface, the entire blade length will

cut cleanly. Chef’sChoice

will sharpen the entire blade uniformly avoiding a swale common to

other sharpening methods. If your chef’s knife has a heavy bolster near the handle extending

to the edge, a commercial grinder can modify or remove the lower portion of the bolster so that

the bolster will not interfere with proper cutting action of the knife. Chef’sChoice

Model 310

will sharpen the entire cutting edge from tip to the bolster or handle. For this reason, when using

paring knives, it is essential to exercise extreme care to keep ﬁngers away from the incredibly

sharp edge near the handle.

POCKET AND FILLET KNIVES

The Model 310 is an excellent sharpener for your favorite pocket or ﬁllet knives. It will put the

same incredibly sharp edges on the entire length of these blades from the tip to the bolster.

The Model 310 Sharpener is not designed for large and heavy hunting knives. For these

types of knives we recommend the Chef’sChoice

Professional 110 Heavy Duty Model or the

Chef’sChoice

EdgeSelect

Model 120.

NORMAL MAINTENANCE

NO lubrication is required for any moving parts, motor, bearing surfaces or sharpening surfaces.

Your sharpener may be cleaned by carefully wiping with a damp cloth. Do not use detergents

or abrasives.

SERVICE

In the event post-warranty service is needed, return your sharpener to your local retailer or

national distributor where the cost of repair can be estimated before the repair is undertaken.

Please include your return address, daytime telephone number and a brief description of the

problem or damage on a separate sheet inside the box. Retain a shipping receipt as evidence of

shipment and as your protection against loss in shipment.
