Chef’sChoice 290 Knife Sharpeners for Home Use, 3-Stage, Black

The Chef's Choice Hybrid Angle Select Diamond Hone 290 knife sharpener represents Edge Craft's most sophisticated Hybrid technology, designed to deliver remarkably sharp edges for your 15 and 20-degree class knives. This versatile tool is ideal for sharpening both traditional European and American household knives, which typically have a 20-degree angle, as well as Asian-style knives and other 15-degree knives.

Whether you're working with straight-edge blades, serrated edges, light sports knives, or pocket knives, the Hybrid 290 offers an affordable and efficient solution. It utilizes angle guides and features 100% diamond abrasives across all three sharpening stages. This approach results in extremely sharp edges that are not only finely shaped but also possess enhanced strength and durability.

At the heart of the Hybrid 290 is its innovative Criss-Cross sharpening technology. This advanced system ensures that the diamond abrasive wheels sharpen the knives effectively, both “into” and “out-of” the edge, thereby producing a superior, burr-free finish. The sharpening process is divided into three distinct stages to cater to various types of knives. The first two stages operate electrically: Stage 1 focuses on knives with a 15-degree edge, while Stage 2 is tailored for 20-degree knives. Finally, Stage 3 serves as a polishing stage for both knife types and is also effective for sharpening serrated blades.

Safety and ease of use are paramount with the Hybrid 290. It is designed to be safe for all high-quality knives, allowing users to sharpen their blades quickly without any need for guesswork, even if the knives are extremely dull. Its easy-to-understand operation means that anyone can achieve a professional sharpening result at home.

In addition to its remarkable functionality, the Hybrid 290 is aesthetically pleasing and serves as a stylish accessory for any kitchen. Its elegant, brushed stainless steel cover is both durable and visually appealing, complementing a modern home environment.

In summary, the Hybrid Angle Select technology of the Chef's Choice Hybrid 290 knife sharpener makes it suitable for all knife types, including the various European and American knives with a 20-degree angle, as well as Asian-style knives with a 15-degree angle. The hybrid sharpening mechanism, combining both electric and manual features, delivers a uniquely strong and durable arch-shaped edge. Employing advanced sharpening techniques with diamond abrasive wheels, this sharpener ensures effective performance by creating an incredibly sharp, burr-free edge.

With precise angle guides included, achieving the desired sharpness has never been easier. The sleek design and durable stainless steel finish contribute to both functionality and style, making the Hybrid 290 a valuable addition to any culinary setup.
