Know before you buy
Yes, the Chef'sChoice FlexHone/Strop is designed to accommodate both types. It uses precision angle guides to maintain the correct geometry for standard straight-edge knives and effectively hones the teeth of serrated blades.
The first stage uses 100% diamond abrasives to sharpen and create a new edge on dull blades. The second stage, the FlexHone/Strop, is used to refine and polish that edge, resulting in a smoother, razor-sharp finish.
This model is specifically calibrated for 20-degree edge knives. It is ideal for most standard kitchen cutlery, but it is not suitable for single-bevel Japanese knives or specialized blades that require a different sharpening angle.
Because it uses high-quality diamond abrasives, it is efficient at restoring edges without removing excessive metal. However, you should only use it when your knives have become noticeably dull to preserve the longevity of your blades.
No, the built-in precision angle guides take the guesswork out of the process. You simply pull the knife through the slots at a consistent speed, and the machine ensures the blade maintains the correct angle throughout.
