Collection: Chef's Choice

Chef's Choice is a knife sharpening brand. Hospitality Connect lists 5 Chef's Choice products, made up of knife sharpeners and honing steels for commercial kitchens, butchers and catering operations.

Sharpening removes metal to cut a new edge on a dull or damaged blade, and is done occasionally. Honing with a steel realigns an edge that is still sharp and is done frequently, often several times through a single shift.

Diamond is harder than the steel used in kitchen knives, so a diamond abrasive cuts the blade rather than wearing away against it. That makes it effective on hard, high carbon and stainless blades, and it keeps working over many sharpenings.

Yes. European style knives are usually ground at a wider angle than Japanese and other Asian style blades. Sharpening a knife at the wrong angle regrinds the edge, so match the sharpener to the knives your kitchen actually runs.

Frequency depends on use rather than a fixed schedule. Knives are honed on a steel through the shift to keep the edge true, and sharpened when honing no longer restores the cut. A butchery or high volume prep bench needs both far more often.
