Fantastic sharpener Poor directions
on February 2, 2025
Posted by: ImConfused
I use both sides of the slots as a guide drawing the knife towards me (not back and forth). This is contrary to the written directions. I got the idea watching people using it on youtube who were praising the sharpener. Before I started doing that I could not sharpen a knife with it. I was extremely frustrated. The written directions specifically said don't touch the sides of the slot and hold the knife vertical. Now I get a blade that is unbelievably super sharp. The only problem I have with the sharpener is the directions.

I love to cook and have tried lots of knife sharpeners. After a while, I'm back to square one and sick of having dull knives. After reading a review I decided to try Chef's Choice ProntoPro Diamond hone knife Sharpener. Heaven, I'm in heaven! My knives are sharp and it is easier to keep them that way. I know it is counter intuitive, but sharpers knives are safer too. I'm very happy I made this purchase.

Perfect for Victorinox and Henckels knives

V angle is 20 x 2 = 40, Henckels/Zwilling is 15 x 2 = 30. Hard to find sharpening tools at the correct blade angles.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Chef'sChoice ProntoPro Diamond Hone Knife Sharpener is a manual knife sharpener that uses 100% diamond abrasives to sharpen knives quickly and easily. It is designed to work with both straight-edge and serrated knives, and it can be used to create both 15-degree and 20-degree edges.
The sharpener has a simple, two-step operation. In the first step, the knife is sharpened using the coarse diamond abrasives. This step removes any dullness or damage from the blade and creates a new edge. In the second step, the knife is honed using the fine diamond abrasives. This step polishes the edge and creates a smooth, burr-free finish.
The Chef'sChoice ProntoPro Diamond Hone Knife Sharpener is easy to use. Simply place the knife in the appropriate slot and pull it through the sharpener several times. The angle of the blade is automatically controlled, so you don't have to worry about getting it wrong.
The sharpener is also very safe to use. The diamond abrasives are very sharp, but they are also very durable. They will not chip or break, even if you use them on a heavily dulled knife.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Prior to trying this I was planning on getting all new knives. Thankfully this Chef’s Choice Knife Sharpener works so well that my knifes are like new. Easy to use to sharpen all sizes of knives and very handy to have in the kitchen. Perfect size to store in a drawer or cabinet.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Works well

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I finally caved and got a knife sharpener after needing one for a long time. This one is great. I don't think this problem is specific to this knife sharpener but the sound of running the blade back and forth does feel like nails on a chalkboard to me. Works super well though my knives are very sharp!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm highly impressed with this sharpener. My knife have been still for a while. Getting a new edge on them was great. My knots are like paper shredders now. It's super easy to use and control. No slipping of the sharpener
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was just what i needed to get my knifes sharp quickly! It does have multiple different slots for you to be able to use it according to what kind of knife it is! This was super easy to use, since im not usually the knife sharpener in my household!
