The Chef'sChoice AngleSelect Model 4623 is engineered to restore and recreate super sharp edges on both 15 and 20 degree class knives and will apply either a 15 or 20 degree double beveled edge angle.

Ideal for the budget conscious who seeks the Chef’sChoice brand commitment to quality and advanced technology, this manual knife sharpener will quickly and easily sharpen virtually all quality cutlery including American, European or Asian style household knives; fine edge or serrated blades.

How It Works: The 4623 combines bevel angle control with three stages—two sharpening stages, one designated for applying a 15 degree and the other for a 20 degree edge; and a honing stage, with all three stages using Chef’sChoice signature diamond abrasives.

Sharpening all the way from the blade tip to bolster or handle, the 4623 creates the acclaimed double bevel edge recognized for astonishing sharpness and durability.

This arch-shaped edge structure is known to be stronger and longer lasting than hollow ground or conventional “V” type edges.

For 15 Degree Edges: To sharpen Asian style knives or contemporary Euro/American style knives at a 15 degree angle, Stage One and Stage Three are used.

For 20 Degree Edges: To sharpen traditional Euro/American style knives at the original factory edge of 20 degrees, Stages Two and Three are used. The initial stages sharpen and hone the edge using 100% diamond abrasives while Stage Three hones the edge with a finer diamond grit.

Stage Three: is also used to sharpen serrated knives. The result is a symmetrical, arch-shaped knife-edge that is sharper and resists dulling longer.

The extremely versatile Model 4623 sharpens a broad range of straight edge and serrated knives, including kitchen cutlery and household knives as well as hunting knives, pocket and fish fillet knives.

It’s compact, portable and lightweight, requires no electricity, no lubrication and is ideal for use in the home, vacation cottage or trailer. It is equally at home on the kitchen counter or workbench, in a knapsack or in the tackle box. Works for right handed or left handed sharpening. Engineered and assembled in the U.S.
