- Page 6 instructions rEaD this BEForE You start to sharPEn ® ™ ® The Chef’sChoice EdgeSelect-Pro Diamond Hone Knife Sharpener Model 125 is designed to sharpen either Straight edge or Serrated edge blades. 1. Sharpen Serrated Edge Blades only in Stage 3. Do not sharpen serrated blades in Stages 1 and 2, as that will tend to remove more metal than necessary from the serrations.
- Page 7 To ensure even sharpening along the entire blade length, insert the blade near its bolster or handle and pull it at a steady rate until it exits the slot. In each stage, make an equal number of pulls alternating in the left and right slots in order to keep the edge facets symmetrical. Generally in Stage 1 you will find a few pairs of pulls, alternating in each (left and right) slot is adequate.
- Page 8 Stage 2: Using the above procedure described for Stage 1, sharpen the blade in Stage 2. Pull the blade once through the left slot of Stage 2 (figure 4) and once through the right slot (figure 5). for an eight (8) inch blade, take about four (4) seconds for each pull. for longer knives, take about 6 seconds per pull and about 2-3 seconds for shorter blades.

The edge will be very sharp and unserrated after only one or two alternating pairs of pulls in Stage 3. To prepare this type of edge, sharpen in Stage 1 until a burr is developed along the edge. Then move directly to Stage 3 and make one or two pairs of pulls there.
- Page 10 will be needed. If the knife edge has been severely damaged through use, make one fast pull (2-3 seconds for an 8” blade) in each of the right and left slots of Stage 2, then make a series of pulls in Stage 3, alternating right and left slots.
