Congratulations on your selection
of the Chef’sChoice® Hybrid®
Diamond Hone® Models 220!
The Hybrid® Diamond Hone® Model 220 is manufactured by Chef’sChoice®, the
world’s leader in cutting edge technology. This sharpener combines advanced
electric and manual sharpening techniques to create an exceptionally effective
cutting edge on virtually all of your knives. The cutting edge is finely honed to extreme
sharpness but retains strong microscopic teeth that gives it a highly effective bite for
all your food prep needs and especially for fibrous materials. The edge is surprisingly
durable yet can be resharpened quickly whenever necessary. Commonly the edge
can be resharpened in Stage 2 without the need to turn on the electrical power.
You will be pleased to see how easy the Hybrid
perform. Read and follow the instruction carefully. Keep the sharpener close at hand
so that you can enjoy the pleasure of sharp knives every day.
DESCRIPTION OF THE
CHEF’SCHOICE HYBRID® DIAMOND HONE KNIFE SHARPENER
The Hybrid® has two sharpening Stages, a first sharpening Stage that is motor driven,
followed by a honing Stage that is entirely manual in operation. The sharpening Stage
1 is motor driven, has two slots (the two slots on the left) to sharpen alternately the left
and right side of the blade’s edge. Always follow an alternating pattern of sharpening
in right and left slots when using Stage 1. This dual-slot stage quickly establishes a
sharp edge that is then honed and finished in the manual second stage which uses
only a single slot (far right slot) that hones both sides of the edge simultaneously.
USING THE HYBRID® SHARPENER
Note: Always clean your knife before sharpening in the Hybrid®! For your safety, keep
your fingers clear of the blade edge at all times.
You will find that the Hybrid
effective edge on all your conventional fine edge and serrated cutlery. The primary
edge facets are each formed in Stage 1 at a nominal 20 degrees on each side of the
edge, which results in a total primary edge of 40 degrees. Stage 2 creates a second
bevel at a slightly larger angle leaving a strong double beveled edge structure that
will stay sharp longer. Always use the sharpener with the stage numbers 1 and 2,
facing you.

STAGE 1
To sharpen, place the sharpener on the table gripping it securely with your left hand.
Push on the power switch. Insert the knife blade, Figure 1, near its handle, into the
far left slot of Stage #1 and allow the left face of the blade to rest on the left face
of the slot as you pull the knife toward you. The knife edge should be in sustained
moving contact with the internal diamond coated disk. Only light downward force will
be necessary as you pull the blade toward you. Listen carefully to insure your knife
maintains good contact with the diamond disk. Take about 5 seconds to make each
pull if you have a six inch (6”) long blade. Increase the time of each pull for longer
blades or decrease the time for shorter blades.
Make one pull of the blade in the left slot as described above and then repeat the
same procedure in the adjacent (right) slot of Stage 1. As you pull the knife thru the
right slot, (see Figure 3), allow the right side of the knife to rest on the right face of
the slot. If your knife, before sharpening, is not very dull you will find that only about
5 pairs of pulls, alternating in the left and right slots of Stage 1, will be sufficient to
put a keen edge on the blade. However, if the knife is initially very dull you may find
that 10 or more alternating pairs of pulls in the left and right slots of Stage 1 will be
needed the first time as you reshape and sharpen the old edge. In Stage 1 always
pull the blade toward you. Never push the blade away from you when using Stage 1.
Before leaving Stage 1 it is important to examine the knife edge to insure there is a
small burr along one side of the edge.
Figure 2 illustrates how to check for the burr. Proceed as follows: If your last sharpening pull was in the right slot there should be a small burr on the right side of the
blade edge. If the last pull was in the left slot there should be a small burr along the
left side of the edge. If there is no burr make another pair of pulls and again check for
Figure 1. Inserting the blade in the left slot of
the Stage 1. Alternate individual pulls in left and
right slots.
Figure 2. Develop a distinct burr along knife edge
before honing in Stage 2. Burr can be detected by
sliding finger across and away from the edge.
Caution! See text.

a burr. Repeat making pairs of alternating right and left pulls until you create a small
burr along the edge. (Sometimes it is easier to create the burr if you pull the blade
slower.) Make another single pull and confirm there is a burr along the edge after
each pull. Only then are you are ready to hone in Stage 2.
STAGE 2
Since Stage 2 is a manual honing stage you can turn off the power switch. If the knife
is fully sharpened in Stage 1 only 4-5 back and forth strokes will be needed in the
single slot of Stage 2 (the far right slot, see Figure 4) to hone a small second bevel
along the edge which will be exceedingly sharp and effective. It should cut paper
smoothly allowing you to make straight or curved cuts easily.
For optimum results in Stage 2 center the blade within the slot width and keep the
length of the blade aligned with the center line of the slot as you move the blade back
and forth in the slot without lifting. Apply only a light downward pressure, about 3-4
pounds, on the blade as you sharpen in Stage 2. For optimum results make smooth
consistent strokes while maintaining the light downward pressure to insure that the
two disks rotate as you move the blade back and forth. The finished edge will be very
sharp and burr free.
RESHARPENING THE KNIFE EDGE
To resharpen follow the procedure for Stage 2 described above, making two to
three (2-3) complete back and forth stroke pairs while maintaining recommended
downward pressure. Listen to confirm the sharpening disks are turning. Then test the
edge for sharpness. If
necessary resharpen again but first use Stage 1 followed by two to three (2-3) back
and forth pairs of strokes in Stage 2. Generally you should be able to resharpen
several times using only Stage 2 before having to resharpen in Stage 1.

Stage 1. Alternate pulls in left and right slots.

sharpening strokes with modest downward
pressure. See text.

SERRATED BLADES
Serrated blades can be sharpened in Stage 2 (see Figure 5). Center the blade in the
slot of Stage 2 and make five (5) back and forth pairs of strokes. Examine the edge
and if necessary make another 5 full stroke pairs. Test the blade for sharpness. If the
blade to be sharpened is very dull, first make two fast but full pairs of pulls — alternating right and left slots in Stage 1 and then make five (5) paired strokes (back and
forth) in Stage 2. Because of its nature, a serrated knife will not ever appear as sharp
or cut as smoothly as a straight edged blade. Caution: Do not make many strokes in
Stage 1, or you will remove too much metal from the teeth of the serrated edge.
ASIAN BLADES
The Hybrid® which sharpens at a primary angle of 20 degrees, can sharpen double
faceted Asian blades such as the Santoku which is traditionally sharpened at 15º.
However, for optimum results with all Asian blades we recommend a 15º sharpener such
as the Chef’sChoice
Asian style blades.
Do not sharpen in the Hybrid
®
Electric Models 15XV or 1520 as the preferred choice for all
®
any single sided, single faceted Asian Kataba knives,
such as the traditional sashimi styled blade that is commonly used to prepare ultra
thin sashimi. Stage 2 sharpens simultaneously both sides of the cutting edge while
the sashimi knives are designed to be sharpened only on one side of the blade.
The Chef’sChoice electric sharpeners listed in the previous paragraph will correctly
sharpen these single sided knives.

CERAMIC KNIVES
The Hybrid® is not recommended for ceramic knives.
SCISSORS
Do not attempt to use the Hybrid® to sharpen scissors. EdgeCraft does manufacture
special sharpeners designed just for scissors.
BRANDS OF KNIVES
The Hybrid® will put an excellent edge on all conventional metal Euro/American
and Santoku style knives regardless of brands, including Henckels, Wüsthof,
Sabatier, Lamson and Goodnow, Global, Russell Harrington, Forshner, Chef’sChoice,
Messermeisser, Mundial, Cuisinart, Kitchen Aid, Shun and many, many more.
TEST FOR SHARPNESS
To test for sharpness and cutting ability of your fine edge knives, hold a sheet of
paper vertically by its upper edge and carefully cut down through the sheet a small
(but safe) distance from your fingers. A sharp edge (on a straight edge blade) will cut
smoothly without tearing the paper.
Alternatively try cutting a tomato. The knife should penetrate the skin of the tomato
and cut through it on the first pull without applying significant force to the knife.
MAINTENANCE
