Chef'sChoice Pronto Manual Diamond Hone
Santoku/Asian Knife Sharpener #463 : This 2-stage Asian
Pronto 463 is extremely fast, outperforming other manual
sharpeners on the market. In seconds, with precise angle
control, this sharpener provides an ultra-sharp,
arch-shaped edge on double-bevel straight-edge, serrated
and Asian-style knives. With 100% diamond abrasive
wheels, Stage 1 sharpens and Stage 2 hones and polishes
knives producing a stronger, more durable edge on
serrated knives. The Pronto 463 straightens and aligns
dull, bent knife teeth. Diamond-coated abrasive wheels
hold their shape indefinitely and sharpen any alloy. The
Asian Pronto's Criss-Cross technology sharpens
simultaneously "into" and "out of"
the knife edge for a premium burr-free edge with plenty
of bite. The Asian Pronto 463 ensures exact bevel angle
control for a 15 degree bevel edge. Soft-grip handle
offers a secure grip. Exceptionally safe and easy to
store, the santoku/Asian knife sharpener fits in a
kitchen drawer. 1-year limited manufacturer warranty.

Chef's' products are always high quality and I have been very satisfied with them. I do have issues with the shipping service. It usually takes a minimum of two weeks between the order date and arrival of the product. I order many things on-line and Chefs is notably the slowest to deliver.

My knives are sharper than they were when I purchased them! This product is so easy to use. I no longer use my big electric sharpener--this is handier and easier!

I purchased a diamond head 463 sharpener because of a review I read in cook's choice Mag. in the hope that I finally would get one that did the job as advertised. I have gone through 3 or 4 others plus a stone that I couldn't master. None did the job! My wife is not a nag but she did nag me about dull knives until I used the 463. It is ergonomically satisfactory.It is very stable on the work surface and creates a very fine edge,also quick and easy to resharpen. With just a few strokes on the second stage it is as good as new. No more torn unsliced bread or shreaded chicken breastes. Very good product at the righr price.
