Side 1/2

In each, the ﬁrst and second stage, both

sides of the edge are sharpened simultane-

ously by two precision diamond coated conical

honing disks. The orientation of the disks is

such that by sharpening in both stages the

entire length of the edge is sharpened.

Small rubber feet secure the Pronto

® to

any dry clean surface. The soft touch handle

further reduces the opportunity for slippage

while sharpening.

USING PRONTO®

Note: Always clean your knife before sharpen

ing in the Pronto®!

You will ﬁnd that the Pronto

can create and

maintain an exceedingly sharp and 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 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.

Safety: Keep your ﬁngers clear of the

blade edge at all times. Hold the handle with

your left hand making certain that all your

ﬁngers and thumb remain safely behind the

partition wall where the handle attaches to

the sharpening stage.

STAGE 1

To sharpen, hold the sharpener on the table

with your left hand. Insert the knife blade into

the slot of Stage 1. Press down to bring the

knife edge into ﬁrm sustained contact with

both of the two internal diamond coated disks

and slide the blade back and forth in a sawing-

like motion. For optimum results center the

blade left to right in the slot and avoid rubbing

against the walls of the slot. Apply a downward

force of about 4-5* pounds as you move the

blade. Listen carefully to the disks to insure

they are rotating when you move the blade.

Sharpening will not be as effective if you press

too lightly while sharpening.

If your knife, before sharpening, is not very

dull you may ﬁnd that only about 10 or less

back and forth stroke pairs in Stage 1 (with

recommended downward pressure) will be

sufﬁcient to put a keen edge on the blade.

However, if the knife starts out very dull you

may ﬁnd that 20 or more back and forth paired

strokes will be needed the ﬁrst time as you

reshape and sharpen the old edge. Before

leaving Stage 1 check the edge for sharp-

ness by slicing a piece of paper. It should cut

paper readily with only a slight roughness to

the cutting action.

* 4 to 5 pounds is about the weight of a 2 inch thick

telephone book

STAGE 2

If the knife is correctly sharpened in Stage 1

only 2-3 back and forth stroke pairs in Stage

2 will complete the small second bevel and

the edge will be very sharp and effective. It

should cut paper smoothly allowing you to

make straight or curved cuts easily.

For optimum results center the blade

(left and right) within the slot and keep the

Congratulations!!

The Pronto® Diamond Hone® manufactured

by Chef’sChoice®, the worlds leader in cutting

edge technology, is an exceedingly fast manual

sharpener that will create an exceptionally

effective cutting edge on all of your conven-

tional household cutlery. 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.

You will be pleased to see how easy the

Pronto® is to use and how well your knives

perform. Read and follow the instructions

carefully. Keep the sharpener close at hand

so that you can enjoy the pleasure of sharp

knives every day.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PRONTO®

You will appreciate that the soft touch ergo-

nomical handle of the Pronto® is extremely

comfortable providing a secure grip. There

are two slots, the ﬁrst (#1) uses ﬁne diamond

abrasives to create and hone a sharp primary

edge and a second slot (#2) where that edge

is ultrahoned at a slightly larger angle with

micron size diamonds to its ﬁnal sharpness.

length of the blade aligned with the center

line of the slot as you sharpen. Apply about

4-5 pounds downward force in Stage 1 and

a little less – about 3-4 pounds pressure on

the blade in Stage 2. Make smooth consistent

strokes while maintaining recommended

downward pressure and make certain the

disks are turning.

RESHARPENING THE KNIFE EDGE

Follow the procedure for Stage 2 described

above for “Using Pronto®”, making two to

three (2-3) pairs of strokes while maintaining

recommended downward pressure. Listen

to conﬁrm the sharpening disks are turning.

Test edge for sharpness and if necessary

make four (4) back and forth pairs of strokes

in Stage 1 followed by two to three (2-3)

pairs in Stage 2.

Generally you should be able to resharpen

several times using only Stage 2.

SERRATED BLADES

Serrated blades can be sharpened in Stage

2. Center the blade in the slot of Stage 2 and

make ﬁve (5) forward and back stroke pairs.

Examine the edge and if necessary make

another 5 full strokes. Examine blade. If the

blade to be sharpened is very dull, ﬁrst make

two full strokes (forward and back pairs)

in Stage 1 and then make ﬁve (5) paired

strokes in Stage 2. Because of its nature, a

serrated knife will never appear as sharp or

cut as smoothly as a straight edged blade.

Caution: Do not make many strokes in Stage

1, which can quickly remove metal from a

serrated edge.

ASIAN BLADES

The Pronto®

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 we recommend a 15º

sharpener such as the Chef’sChoice

Electric

Models 15XV or 1520 as the preferred choice

for all Asian style blades.

Do not sharpen in the Pronto

® any single

sided, single faceted Asian Kataba knives,

such as the traditional sashimi styled blade

that is commonly used to prepare ultra thin

sashimi. The Pronto® sharpens simultane-

ously both sides of the cutting edge while the

sashimi knives are designed to be sharpened

only on one side of the blade. The previously

mentioned Chef’sChoice electric sharpeners

will also correctly sharpen these single

sided knives.

CERAMIC KNIVES

The Pronto® is not recommended for ceramic

knives.

SCISSORS

Do not attempt to use the Pronto

to sharpen

scissors. EdgeCraft does manufacture both

electric and manual scissor sharpeners.

BRANDS OF KNIVES

The Pronto® will put an excellent edge on

all of conventional metal Euro/American and

Santoku style knives regardless of brands,

including Henckels, Wüsthof, Sabatier, Lamson

and Goodnow, Global, Russell Harrington,

Chef’sChoice, Messermeisser, Forshner,

Mundial, Cuisinart, Kitchen Aid, Shun and

many, many more.

TEST FOR SHARPNESS

To test for sharpness and cutting ability of

your knife, 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.
