- Page 4 ™ UNDERSTANDING ThE XTREME ® DIAMOND hONE ShARPENER ® ® The unique Chef’sChoice Diamond Hone Sharpener is designed to sharpen knives with either straight or serrated edges. This two (2) stage sharpener has a precision conical sharpening / honing stage with fine 100% diamond abrasives and a unique polishing/stropping stage using proprietary flexible abrasive disks.
- Page 5 Each sharpening Stage is equipped with elastomeric profiled guide springs positioned over the sharpening disks to provide a spring action that holds the face of your knife securely against the precision guides in the right and left slots of each stage during sharpening. You will want to sharpen equally in the right and left slots of each stage you use.
- Page 6 INSTRUCTIONS READ ThIS BEFORE YOU START TO ShARPEN ™ The Xtreme Model 317 is designed to sharpen most tactical, hunting, pocket, kitchen or serrated edge blades. 1. Sharpen Serrated Blades Only in Stage 2. Do not sharpen serrated blades in Stage 1 until you read section titled Procedure for Sharpening Serrated Blades.
- Page 7 To ensure uniform 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. Always make an equal number of pulls alternating one pull in the left slot and then one pull in the right slot in order to keep the edge facets symmetrical.
- Page 8 OPTIMIzING ThE KNIFE EDGE FOR GAME, FISh AND FIBROUS MATERIAlS For cutting more fibrous materials you may find it advantageous to sharpen in Stage 1 – followed directly by only one alternating pair of pulls in Stage 2. This will leave sharpened microflutes along the facets nearer to each side of the edge (Figure 8) that will assist in the cutting of such materials.
- Page 9 If the serrated edge is extremely worn or severely damaged, then the knife should first be pre- sharpened in Stage 1. In this stage only sharpen the non-grooved side of the serrated blade, as follows: If the grooved serrations are on the right side of the blade (as you would hold the knife when cutting), then only use the right slot of Stage 1.
- Page 10 SUGGESTIONS 1. Always clean all food, fat, and foreign materials from knife before sharpening or resharpening. If soiled, wash the blade before sharpening. 2. Use only light downward pressure when sharpening – just enough to establish secure contact with the abrasive disk. 3.
