Because serrated blades are saw-like structures, the edges will never appear to be as "sharp"
as the edge on a straight edge knife. However, their tooth-like structure will, at times, help break
the skin on hard crusty foods and penetrate other materials such as cardboard.

STAGE 3 DRESS TOOL: CLEANING/ DRESSING OF STROPPING/ POLISHING DISKS—STAGE 3:
The Chef'sChoice
®
Model 120 is equipped with a built-in accessory to manually clean/ dress
the honing disks in Stage 3. In the event these disks become glazed with grease, food or sharp-
ening debris, they can be cleaned and reshaped by actuating the manual lever on the rear of
the sharpener. This lever is located within a recess as shown in Figure 13 on the left lower
corner as you face the rear of the Model 120.

corner as you face the rear of the Model 120.
To actuate the cleaning/dressing tool, simply press the small lever in the recess to the right
or left and hold for 3 seconds. Then press the lever in the opposite direction and hold for 3
seconds. When the lever is moved in one direction, the dressing tool cleans and reshapes the
active surface of one stropping/polishing disk. By moving it in the opposite direction, you clean
the other disk.

Use this clean/dress accessory only if and when Stage 3 no longer appears to be sharpening
well or when it takes too many pulls to obtain a razor sharp edge. Using this tool removes mate-
rial from the surface of the Stage 3 disks and, hence, if used excessively, will unnecessarily
remove too much of the abrasive surface - wearing the disks out prematurely. If that should
occur, factory replacement of the disks will become necessary.

If you clean knives regularly before sharpening, you will need to clean or dress the Stage 3 disks
only about once a year or even less frequently

Resharpening: (See Sections above.)
Resharpen straight edge knives whenever practical using Stage 3. When that fails to quickly
resharpen, return to Stage 2 and make one or two pairs of alternating pulls. Then return to Stage
3 where only one to two alternating pairs of pulls will be adequate to put a new razor-like edge
on the knife. Use Stage 1 as a first step in resharpening only if you wish to have more "bite"
along the edge or if the knife has been dulled excessively.
