Sharpener Model 460, features

customized mixtures of 100%

diamond abrasives specially

designed to sharpen both straight-

edge and serrated knives. This

multipurpose manual sharpener

meets the needs of professionals,

chefs and serious cooks alike.

The Chef’sChoice Model 460 is a

two-stage sharpener designed to

ensure consistent angle control -

stroke after stroke - as the knife is

presented to the diamond sharpening

elements. Both sides of the edge

are simultaneously shaped and

sharpened. This construction ensures

that the edges are well formed and

very sharp every time.

The abrasives consist of selected

100% single-diamond crystals

embedded on unique interdigitating

steel support plates. The Model

460 consistently outperforms

conventional sharpeners that use

less efficient abrasives and lack any

control of the sharpening angle.

Diamonds, the hardest known

material, are extremely durable.

Straight-edge knives sharpened on

the Model 460 will be “shaving sharp”

with a “bite” that helps them cut

effortlessly through tomatoes, other

vegetables and fruits. It makes cutting

and slicing a pleasure and removes

the drudgery of working with dull

knives. Straight-edge knives are

sharpened first with diamonds in

Stage 1 and then at a different angle

with still finer diamond mixtures

in Stage 2. This creates a double-

beveled longer-lasting arch-shaped

edge that is much stronger than

conventional “v-shaped” or hollow

ground edges. This unique arch

structure ensures a sharper edge

that will stay sharp longer.

Serrated knives sharpen quickly in

Model 460 using only the second

sharpening stage, The special

diamonds in that stage create razor-

sharp “micro-blades” along the

dominant teeth, enhancing the cutting

action and reducing the sawing and

tearing action otherwise typical of ser-

rated blades. Even new “factory-fresh”

serrated knives frequently have poorly

formed, dull saw teeth that can benefit

from sharpening and shaping in the

Model 460. Serrated knives become dull

because their teeth bend and distort

during use. The Model 460 restores dull

teeth to better-than-new condition. The

cutting effectiveness of the serrations

depends almost entirely on the sharp-

ness of the points (edges) of the teeth.

It is not necessary to sharpen the sides

and bottoms of the scallops between

the teeth, since in general, they are not

doing the cutting. The Chef’sChoice

®

Model 460 sharpener is designed to

sharpen teeth at the edge or point

so that the prominent teeth become

razor-sharp “micro-blades.”

Serrated knives sharpened with

the Chef’sChoice

®

Model 460 glide

smoothly through food and cut

cleanly with less effort. There is less

tearing or mutilating of all types of

food including meat, poultry,

vegetables and bread. The face of a

cut vegetable or fruit is smoother and

more appetizing. The sharpened

serrated knife is easier to control

allowing you to make thinner slices

and to manipulate the blade easily

for garnishing.

The “micro-blades” created by the

Model 460 along the prominent teeth

of serrated knives are unique in that

they give the knife some of the

qualities of a straight-edge blade

while retaining the sawing action of a

serrated edge. This combination

creates the ultimate serrated edge.

Before you begin...

The Chef’sChoice

MultiEdge

sharpener Model 460 is

“ambidextrous”-extremely easy

to use whether you are right-or left-

handed. Stages 1 and 2 are marked

on both sides of the sharpener for

your convenience.

Place the sharpener on a level surface

about waist high. If right-handed, hold

the handle with your left hand making

certain that your left index finger

and thumb remain safely behind the

partitioning wall where the handle

attaches to the sharpening stages.

(If left-handed, see Suggestions.)

Caution: Keep all fingers clear of the

blade at all times.

General sharpening instructions

Make certain the blade is clean - free

of all food, fat and grease - then

proceed as follows:

Holding the knife in the right hand,

place the blade into the “v-shaped”

slot and center the blade left to right

in the slot. While continuing to keep

the blade centered in the slot, move

the blade smoothly back and forth in

the slot along the entire blade length.

It is not necessary to lift the blade

after each stroke. Apply little or no

downward pressure on the blade.

The light sound you hear as the blade

moves across the 100% diamond

abrasives tells you the diamonds are

doing the work for you! Continue this

back-and-forth motion until the blade

is sharp.

manual sharpener has been designed

with the optimal diamond abrasive

mixture to sharpen your knives safely

while producing an extremely sharp

edge. Coarser grits would cause

excessive wear and tear of the

serrations. The fine diamond grits

used in the Model 460 help extend

the life of your knives. The first time

you sharpen a knife may take a little

longer, but resharpening will be fast

and safe.
