Frequently Asked Questions
What knife sharpeners does Zanduco US carry?
Two Chef'sChoice knife sharpeners are confirmed: the manual M4623 AngleSelect and the M220 Diamond Hone Hybrid. Both use 100 percent diamond abrasives, differing mainly in whether they run by hand or add electric power.
How do the two knife sharpeners differ?
Power is the main split. The M4623 is fully manual across three stages, while the M220 hybrid runs an electric sharpening stage first, then a manual honing stage. Both knife sharpeners handle straight and serrated edges.
Which knife sharpener suits Japanese knives?
For Asian style blades, the M4623 is built to set a 15 degree edge, and it also does a 20 degree edge for European and American knives. That dual angle makes it the more flexible of the two knife sharpeners for a mixed block.
Do these knife sharpeners work on serrated blades?
Yes, both do. The M4623 and the M220 are each rated to sharpen straight and serrated kitchen knives, along with sports and pocket knives. These knife sharpeners fit a varied drawer, from chef blades to seafood, poultry, and splitter knives.
Are electric knife sharpeners faster than manual ones?
Generally yes. The M220 hybrid uses an electric first stage to reset an edge quickly, then a manual stage to refine it, while the all-manual M4623 trades speed for control. Pick between the knife sharpeners by how much volume you run.
Is a diamond abrasive better in knife sharpeners?
Diamond is among the hardest abrasives, so it cuts steel fast and wears slowly. Both confirmed knife sharpeners use 100 percent diamond in every stage, which is why they reprofile worn edges more readily than cheaper ceramic wheels.
Should I choose a knife sharpener over a sharpening stone?
It depends on skill. Knife sharpeners guide the angle for you, which suits busy staff, while a stone offers more control for a trained hand. For blades like slicers, either can restore the edge.
