## Overview

The Chef'sChoice 463 Pronto Hone is a compact, two-stage manual knife sharpener designed specifically for Asian-style knives with a precise 15-degree edge. Utilizing 100% diamond abrasive wheels and CrissCross technology, it delivers an ultra-sharp, durable edge quickly and safely. Its ergonomic design with rubber feet ensures stability during use, making it ideal for professionals and enthusiasts seeking fast, reliable sharpening at home. Made in the USA and highly rated, it’s the go-to tool for maintaining razor-sharp Santoku and serrated knives.

## Description

Chef'sChoice 463 Pronto manual Asian/Santoku sharpener is the fastest manual sharpener on the market. The 463 includes 2 stages, one for sharpening and a second for honing/polishing for a razor-sharp, arch-shaped edge that is strong and durable. 100-percent diamond abrasives are used in both stages 1 and 2, and the diamond abrasive wheels will hold their shape indefinitely (unlike ceramic wheels which lose shape over time). Crisscross sharpening technology creates an extremely sharp edge with lots of bite. Diamond abrasive wheels sharpen simultaneously in and out for a superior burr-free edge. Micron-size diamond abrasives in stage 2 leave your knife with a super-sharp, polished edge. The precise bevel angle control sharpens to an ultra-sharp, Asian-style, 15-degree edge. The Pronto is safe to use on straight-edge and serrated Santoku and other double-bevel Asian-style knives.

Review: From Dull to Dazzling Asian Knife Users Rejoice! The Secret Weapon for Razor-Sharp Asian Knives - As a huge fan of Shun Cutlery knives, I was looking for a way to maintain their razor-sharpness at home between trips to the Shun factory sharpening service. Many sharpening methods can be risky, so I wanted a user-friendly sharpener that wouldn't damage my blades. After using the Chef'sChoice 463 Pronto Hone for two years, here's my honest review: Sharpening Made Easy: This sharpener is incredibly easy to use, especially for beginners. There's no need for downward pressure; instead, you simply guide the knife through the slots with gentle pulls. This approach helps prevent accidental damage to the blade. Effective for Asian Knives: The Chef'sChoice 463 Pronto Hone is designed for 15-degree angled knives, which is perfect for many Asian-style blades. I've found it effective at restoring sharpness and removing minimal material when used correctly. It's important to follow the light, pulling motion to avoid removing too much metal, which can weaken the knife over time. Keep Your Favorite Pocket Steak Knives Sharp: The Chef'sChoice 463 Pronto Hone can help maintain the sharpness of your steak knives. Just remember that steak knives often have a slightly different sharpening angle (around 17-20 degrees) than this sharpener (15 degrees). With proper technique, you can still achieve a good level of sharpness for everyday use. User-Friendly Design: The handle is comfortable to grip, and the rubber feet keep the sharpener secure on your countertop while you work. These small details make the sharpening process even smoother. Made in the USA: For those who value American-made products, it's worth noting that the Chef'sChoice 463 Pronto Hone is manufactured in the USA. Things to Keep in Mind: Technique Matters: As mentioned earlier, using the correct pulling motion is crucial to avoid damaging your knives. Take your time and follow the instructions carefully. May Not Be for All Knives: This sharpener is best suited for 15-degree angled knives. If you have a different style of knife, you might need a different sharpening system. German blades, sharpened at 20-22 degrees, offer a super-durable edge that tackles chopping and prep with ease. The trade-off? Slightly less precision for fancy slicing. Overall: The Chef'sChoice 463 Pronto Hone is a great option for anyone who wants a user-friendly and effective way to sharpen their Asian-style knives. The easy pull-through motion, design features, and American-made quality make it a solid choice. Just remember to use proper technique to avoid damaging your knives.
Review: Perfect for my needs - There are two types of people looking at this knife sharpener: (1) people who just want to make their knife more usable in the kitchen, and (2) people who are nerding out about sharpening their knives, but have hesitation. This knife is the best option for (1). Last year I purchased a nice chef's knife for the first time. After a year of use it had grown dull. I needed to sharpen it, so I started researching how to sharpen knives. I watched videos about sharpening with stones, and reviews of electric and manual sharpeners. The type (2) people all recommend stones; they talked about how easy it is, how sharp you can get, etc. I wanted to take care of my knife because I want it to last a lifetime. These people were pushing me to join them in camp (2), but I ultimately realized I am in camp (1). Yes my knife is nice, but I don't need to sharpen with stones to take care if it. Now it was time to narrow down my decision between electric and manual. This was the only manual option I considered because it was recommended by America's test kitchen. They suggested electric options are better because they are easier to use and produce a sharper knife, but I feel like that guide is wrong for most people. Most home cooks are not looking for a razor sharp knife. You want your knife to slice through tomatoes without smushing them, but besides that who really cares? I guess the only legitimate downside of this device is it may scratch the sides of your knife slightly, but my knife is a tool, not a relic to be polished to perfection. This manual sharpener is cheap, stores nicely in my kitchen, was stupid easy to use, and brought my knife back to factory sharpness. Of course this device will not sharpen your knife as well as electric or stones, but I don't need that. As for price, there are cheaper options out there, but I trust America's test kitchen more than desertcart reviews. If you are brave you could try a cheaper option with a similar design, just make sure it uses diamonds for the grinder, has at least two finishing levels, and produces a 15 degree bevel. TL;DR This sharpener gets the job done for a home cook, it's cheap, and it doesn't take up much space in the kitchen.
