Diamond Sharpener for Asian Knives

The Chef'sChoice #316 is designed to put a durable, razor sharp edge on virtually all double beveled Asian style knives such as Santoku, as well as Asian cleavers and single bevel traditional Japanese Sashimi knives. You can even create the Asian type edge on your American or European cutlery! The #316 sharpener has two stages that sharpen at 15 degrees. Stage 1 hones each side of the edge with fine 100% abrasives. Stage 2 polishes the edge using 100% ultra-fine diamond abrasives. In both stages, each side of the blade is sharpened separately, allowing you to hone and polish the single traditional Japanese blade. Or you can sharpen both sides of the blade to produce razor sharp contemporary Asian edges. Patented elastomeric springs hold knives securely against precision guides, ensuring the perfect angle every time. Whether preparing elaborate dishes of sushi or sashimi or filleting the catch of the day, the #316 sharpener for Asian knives will give you the perfect edge for the task!
