European knife sharpening module 2100, 20° - Chef's Choice brand

The sharpening module for 20° angle European / American knives is specially designed to obtain factory-like quality edge for all the European / American-style knives. The module can be used on the Chef's Choice® Commercial EdgeSelect® Diamond Hone® Model 2100 electric knife sharpener for Euro / American-style blades and for any other metal knives with blade edge sharpened at 20° angle.

Having 3 sharpening stages, the device will allow for a precise sharpening, which will be done depending on the knife purpose. Each sharpening stage has a precise role and must be carried out properly, so that the knife blade be well sharpened, shaped and polished, thus creating a Trizor®-type edge (a patented Chef's Choice^® 3-stage sharpening system that creates a burr-free triple edge that will stay sharp for longer than in the case of conventionally sharpened knives).

The sharpening module for 20° angle European / American knives is designed to sharpen domestic use knives, pocket knives and certain sports knives. Do not attempt to introduce in view of sharpening scissors, ax blades or any blades that do not fit freely into the slots.

Stage 1 (sharpening): The abrasive diamonds will sharpen the blade creating microgrooves along the facets on each side of the edge.

Stage 2 (modeling), provided with much finer diamonds, creates a second angle that is much better defined on the facets, by a few degrees larger than the angle created in Stage 1.

Stage 3 (grinding): The ultra-fine precision discs are set at a third, slightly larger angle. The discs polish and sand the facets adjacent to the blade, creating a third micro-angle and an edge of microscopic thickness, straight and super polished, with an amazing sharpness.

Serrated blades shall be sharpened exclusively in Stage 3 so as not to remove more metal from teeth than needed.

Always make sure that the knife blade is thoroughly cleaned before sharpening.

The complete sharpening process for a 20 cm blade knife takes about 1.5 minutes and, for knives with shorter or longer blades, it can take more or less time. Once the knives have been sharpened using the sharpening module for 20° angle European / American knives, resharpening takes less than 1 minute.

The downward movement of the blade in each of the slots is controlled by a blade edge stopping plate that positions the knife blade optimally and safely when touching the abrasive discs without damaging the sharp edge to be shaped up. The device therefore allows effortless and safe handling.

The sharpening module is fitted with rails and allows quick removal or mounting by sliding on the Chef's Choice® Commercial EdgeSelect® Diamond Hone® Model 2100 electric sharpener.

The sharpening module is easy to detach, thus allowing its efficient cleaning whenever needed, whether it is done manually or in the dishwasher (for domestic use or for commercial use).

The sharpener will be maintained only by manual cleaning with damp cloth.
