SteelPro® Model 470 Series
SteelPro® Congratulations! As an owner of the Chef’sChoice® SteelPro® Model 470, you will be able to experience for the first time the pleasure of cutting and slicing with perfectly steeled edges. The SteelPro® creates a unique cutting edge much superior to that obtainable with conventional steels. The SteelPro® edge will consistently have a good “bite” and will, uniquely, stay very sharp as you continue to use the SteelPro®. No skill is required and even a first time user will find it easy to use.
Description of SteelPro® The SteelPro® is designed to be used either right or left handed (Figure 1 and 2). The soft-touch handle is shaped and sized for a comfortable hold. The SteelPro® can be hung by the metal ring attached to the handle or stored flat in a drawer or on a shelf. The SteelPro® contains two unique rods made of a special high carbon steel hardened to about Rockwell C-65, which is much harder than any commercially available cutlery.
Because of the consistent angular relationship between the individual facets on each side of the knife edge and the steel rods, the SteelPro® simultaneously maintains a shaving sharp edge while it creates the uniform row of microscopic serrations along the edge. If the edge is damaged when used for cutting, the SteelPro® will restore the edge micro-serrations while maintaining the sharpness of the edge. This type of edge conditioning is unique to the SteelPro®.
Using the SteelPro® You will find the SteelPro® can maintain an exceedingly effective razor sharp edge on all of your cutlery. While it is extremely simple to use, we urge you to read the instructions in order to optimize your results. Knife manufacturers have for years suggested steeling as a good way to maintain the knife edge.
If your knife is freshly sharpened (at about 40 total degrees) prior to using the SteelPro®, you need make only about 10 pairs of alternating pulls to develop a good edge. Making another 10 pairs of alternating pulls will further refine the edge and remove virtually all remnants of the burr left from pre-sharpening. You will find now that the knife cuts exceedingly well.
