The Chef’sChoice Pronto #463 applies flawless and durable 15 degree edge in seconds and will put a better than factory edge on your 15 degree class knives!
Since all knives dull with use, it's important to protect your cutlery investments with the right maintenance tools. A knife's long-term performance depends on how it is resharpened.
Knives made of the finest steel will hold an edge longer, but even the best of knives dull with use- and the initial factory edge only lasts for the first few days or weeks of use.
Than for more than 99% of a knife's useful life, it's edge performance depends on how it is resharpened. Replicating the initial factory edge is not particularly relevant, especially since today's modern sharpeners can apply a better factory edge on every knife.

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.
