DESCRIPTION OF THE GRAEF HYBRID® DIAMOND HONE® KNIFE
SHARPENER CC80
The Hybrid® has two sharpening Stages, a first sharpening Stage that is motor driven,
followed by a honing Stage that is entirely manual in operation. The sharpening Stage
1 is motor driven, has two slots (the two slots on the left) to sharpen alternately the left
and right side of the blade's edge. Always follow an alternating pattern of sharpening
in right and left slots when using Stage 1. This dual-slot stage quickly establishes a
sharp edge that is then honed and finished in the manual second stage which uses only
a single slot (far right slot) that hones both sides of the edge simultaneously.
USING THE HYBRID® SHARPENER
Note: Always clean your knife before sharpening in the Hybrid®! For your safety,
keep your fingers clear of the blade edge at all times. You will find that the Hybrid®
can create and maintain an exceedingly sharp and effective edge on all your con-
ventional fine edge and serrated cutlery. The primary edge facets are each formed
in Stage 1 at a nominal 20 degrees on each side of the edge, 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.
STAGE 1
To sharpen, place the sharpener on the table gripping it securely with your left hand.
Push on the power switch. Insert the knife blade, Figure 1, near its handle, into the far left
slot of Stage #1 and allow the left face of the blade to rest on the left face of the slot
as you pull the knife toward you. The knife edge should be in sustained moving contact
with the internal diamond coated disk. Only light downward force will be necessary
as you pull the blade toward you. Listen carefully to insure your knife maintains good
contact with the diamond disk. Take about 5 seconds to make each pull if you have a
six inch (6") long blade. Increase the time of each pull for longer blades or decrease
the time for shorter blades. Make one pull of the blade in the left slot as described
above and then repeat the same procedure in the adjacent (right) slot of Stage 1. As
you pull the knife thru the right slot, (see Figure 3), allow the right side of the knife to rest
on the right face of the slot. If your knife, before sharpening, is not very dull you will
find that only about 5 pairs of pulls, alternating in the left and right slots of Stage 1, will
be sufficient to put a keen edge on the blade. However, if the knife is initially very dull
