Chef's Choice4643 Pronto Pro Manual Diamond Hone Knife Sharpener NEW

A no fuss , simple but very effective sharpener. Restored brilliantly my very good kitchen knives which i had not taken care of for a few years.

I have had various makes of manual wheel sharpeners including Minosharp & Kitchen devils. This is by far the best. I am concerned about the longevity of the wheels but after sharpening 8 different knives, including Global & Robert Welch, I am extremely impressed by how sharp they all are. On first use it is clear that the diamond abrasive is really working hard and it quickly grinds the edge back to remove a few years worth of damage. It is a bit expensive but since it really works well I believe it still represents the best value.

I bought this item to use with a set of European 20 degree ice hardened Japanese steel kitchen knives. Unfortunately it flexes and creaks if the knife isnt exactly horizontal. Not the best build quality for what is a very expensive manual knife sharpener. I expected better for £65 but I could live with it if it works well. I set about sharpening my knives in slot 2. It sharpened them very well but after I had sharpened the knives i noticed scratches the full length of every knife on the left hand side. Not small scratches along the cutting edge of the knife which i could live with but scratches 1 cm wide. Very noticeable scratching. It sharpens very well but it has marked the blades in a good quality set of kitchen knives that cost around £300. I suspect i have a faulty item rather than it meant to be like that so its being returned. I would buy another to check as it sharpens so well. As a Sharpener, brilliant but build quality could be better.

Sharpens very well. Both 20 and 15 deg knives

Sharpens knives great and easy to use

I’ve just used thi for the first time and I put one of my zelite kitchen knives through it and it has actually lost a piece of the high carbon steel, so I have a ultra sharp part but also a part that I can’t soon t sharpen,? Hopefully a fault with the blade which I hope/think has a lifetime guarantee

I know you get more control over the edge you want with a Whetstone, and probably a lot sharper blade if you know what you are doing.But for a home sharpener this does the business, puts a good edge on your knives and keeps them sharp enough to cut and dice food with ease, even sharp enough to slice through bits of paper if that's your thing.

I soon acquired a fine cutting edge on one of my kitchen knives but am still working on the other. Why this is taking so long I am unsure and, likewise, unsure if it is the fault of the sharpener, me or the hardness of the steel used in the blade. On this I will reserve judgement. As for price, although very sturdy and solidly built, I do believe it is not competitively priced.

So easy to use and works really well. My knives were shockingly dull. After reading a Consumers Report review, I decided this was worth getting. And after working my knives through five or six of the recommended sharpenings, I finally can slice paper cleanly. And the knives stay sharp - just an occasional touch up needed.There are a couple of other reviews I recommend you read (especially one from Richard JS) - about how important it is to keep the knife upright while sharpening and do not wobble.

Evde atıl olan bıçakları dahi çok güzel biledi ve kullanıma kattı harika bir ürün.

Japanische Klingenschmiede bevorzugen seit langem Kochmesser mit ultraschlanken Klingen, d. h. mit einem Schliff von etwa 15 Grad auf jeder Seite der Klinge - und das aus gutem Grund: Diese Klingen sind nicht nur dünn und leicht, sondern haben auch eine besonders schmale Schneide, die sie rasiermesserscharf macht. Auch wir bevorzugen eine dünnere Schneide.Dieser Messerschärfer bietet sowohl 15Grad und 20Grad Winkel zum Schärfen aller Messer asiatischer und europäischer . Das Problem ist wer weiß, welche Grade für welches Messer.Daher Schleife ich alle guten Messer auf 15 Grad um, mit diesem Gerät kein Problem.Es liegt gut in der Hand, ist leicht und schützt den Benutzer.Mehrmalige Bewegungen 5-8 mal vor und zurück mit wenig Druck und anschließend in den Feinschliffe und schon sind die Messer wieder traumhaft scharf.Nie mehr Kochen mit stumpfen Messern

Funziona beneE fa un ottimo lavoro

Excelente calidad, tengo unos cuchillos japoneses que compré en Japón hace unos años, siempre tuve miedo de afilarlos con algo más que no fuera la piedra, pero necesitaba algo más rápido. Compré este afilador después de ver reseñas en internet y se pudieron afilar perfecto sin ningún rayón o abolladura. 100% recomendado.
