3. Always pull the blades at the recommended speed and at a constant rate over length of blade. Never

interrupt or stop the motion of the blade when in contact with the abrasive disks.

4. Always alternate individual pulls in right and left slots (of any stage used). Specialized Japanese blades

are an exception and are sharpened primarily on one side of the blade.

5. The edge of the knife blade, while sharpening, should be held in a level position relative to the top of

the counter or table. To sharpen the blade near the tip of a curved blade, lift the handle up slightly as

you approach the tip so that each section along the curved length of the edge as it is being sharpened

is maintained “level” to the table.

6. There is no need or advantage to using a “sharpening steel” on knives sharpened on the Chef’sChoice

Model 320. Consider resharpening with the manual Chef’sChoice

sharpener Model 450 if you are us-

ing knives at a remote location away from electrical power. It is recommended that you keep the Model

320 readily accessible and resharpen often, as described in the Sections above.

7. Used correctly, you will ﬁnd you can sharpen the entire blade to within 1/8” of the bolster or handle.

This is a major advantage of the Chef’sChoice

Model 320 compared to other sharpening methods –

especially important when sharpening chef’s knives where you need to sharpen the entire blade length

in order to maintain the curvature of the edge line. If your chef’s knives have 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 it will not interfere with the sharpening action allowing you to sharpen the entire

blade length.

8. To increase your proﬁciency with the Chef’sChoice

Model 320, learn how to detect a burr along the

edge (as described above). While you can sharpen well without using this technique, it is the best and

fastest way to determine when you have sharpened sufﬁciently in Stage 1. This will help you avoid

oversharpening and ensure incredibly sharp edges every time. Cutting a tomato or a piece of paper is

a convenient method of checking for blade sharpness.

NORMAL MAINTENANCE

NO lubrication is required for any moving parts, motor, bearings or sharpening surfaces. There is no

need for water on abrasives. The exterior of the sharpener may be cleaned by carefully wiping with a

damp cloth. Do not use detergents or abrasives.

Once a year or so as needed, you can remove metal dust that will accumulate inside the sharpener

from repeated sharpenings. Remove the small rectangular clean-out cover (Figure 11) that covers an

opening on the underside of the sharpener. You will ﬁnd metal particles adhered to a magnet attached

to the inside of that cover. Simply rub off or brush off accumulated ﬁlings from the magnet with a

paper towel or tooth brush and reinsert the cover in the opening. If larger amounts of metal dust

have been created or if the Stage 2 disk has been cleaned (using the cleaning/dressing tool) you can

shake out any remaining dust through the bottom opening when the cover is removed. After cleaning,

replace the cover securely with its magnet in place.
