® 9. The Chef’sChoice Model 320 is designed to sharpen kitchen knives, pocket knives and most sports knives. Do not attempt to sharpen scissors, ax blades or any blade that does not fit freely in the slots. - Page 3 You will find the Model 320 extremely fast and simple to use. It is safe to use on all quality kitchen, sporting and pocket knives. Please read this instruc- tion booklet thoroughly before you use the sharpener in order to optimize your sharpening results.
- Page 4 The following sections describe the general procedures for optimal sharpening. One of the important advantages of using the Model 320 is that you can strop and polish your knives to razor sharp edges as often as needed and yet experience little knife wear compared to older sharpening methods.

- Page 6 READ THIS BEFORE YOU START TO SHARPEN ® The Chef’sChoice Model 320 is designed to sharpen either Straight edge 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 ® Serrated blades of all types can be sharpened in the Chef’sChoice Model 320. However, use only Stage 2 (Figure 9), which will sharpen the teeth of the serrations and develop microblades along the edge of these teeth. Generally five (5) to ten (10) pairs of alternating pulls in Stage 2 will be adequate.
- Page 9 ® The Chef’sChoice Model 320 is equipped with a built-in accessory to manually clean/dress the stropping disks in Stage 2. In the event these disks become glazed with grease, food or sharpening debris, they can be cleaned and reshaped by actuating the manual lever on the rear of the sharpener.
- Page 10 Model 320. Consider resharpening with the manual Chef’sChoice sharpener Model 450 if you are using 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.
