  • Two-stage sharpening and honing creates longer-lasting sharpness

  • Engineered and assembled in the U.S.A. with 90-day warranty

Purpose-built for Asian blades

The Chef'sChoice 435 Diamond Hone sharpener is engineered specifically for Santoku and other double-edged Asian style knives. It uses 100% diamond abrasives to sharpen any alloy quickly and durably. Precision roller guides lock the edge angle at 15 degrees for consistent results. The manual two-stage process sharpens then hones for a longer-lasting edge.

Right- or left-handed users wanting guided

This tool suits cooks who want a simple, guided way to maintain Asian knives at the correct angle without freehand skill. It works equally well in either hand. Buyers who need to sharpen single-bevel Japanese knives or western blades with a different angle should look at other models. It also does not serve serrated edges or heavy reprofiling of damaged tips.

Two-stage capacity for regular maintenance

Stage one uses diamond abrasives to set a fresh 15-degree edge on dull blades. Stage two hones that edge to a polished finish that holds sharpness longer. The compact 9.5-inch depth fits most drawers. The 90-day limited warranty covers defects. Very thick spines or heavily chipped blades may exceed the sharpener's material removal capacity.

Questions about this item

Do I need a specific angle guide to sharpen my Santoku knives with the 435 model?

The built-in precision roller guides automatically hold the blade at a 15-degree angle per side, so no separate guide is required.

Will the diamond abrasives damage the softer steel of my older European chef's knife if I use the same sharpener?

The 100% diamond abrasives sharpen any alloy, but the fixed 15-degree angle is optimised for Asian-style blades and may not suit wider Western edges.

How can I verify the sharpener is producing the correct 15-degree edge after I finish the two stages?

A properly sharpened blade will slice paper cleanly and shave arm hair with little pressure, confirming the roller guides held the precise 15-degree angle throughout.
