Review on 🔪 Chef'sChoice 463 Pronto Diamond Hone Manual Knife Sharpener - Best 15 Degree Knives for Fast Sharpening, Recommended by Cook's Illustrated, 2-Stage, Black by Michael Willis

Whenever I get a recommendation from an American test kitchen, I always seem to be satisfied, and this was no exception. This sharpener really got my knives razor sharp. I should warn anyone buying this that this is a steep angle designed for Asian knives. So if you use it to sharpen a regular kitchen knife, it will most likely need to be sharpened for a while to change the angle on the edge. When I started sharpening our kitchen knives, I found that it really took a while to get the blade nice and sharp. Also, take the time to watch the video on the manufacturer's website to learn how to use this sharpener. This works much better if you use reciprocating sawing motions. This creates a nice thin edge that cuts very smoothly. Once I figured out how to use this sharpener, it became an essential tool in my kitchen.
