Just the Best   Review Date: December 14, 2009 Reviewer: Wilbur C. Andrews, USA I have been sharpening knives for more than 60 years. I require my knives to be sharp enough to shave my arm. This sharpener has done that with every knife I own. I own a Gerber Chef's knife. It is no longer made. The Gerber food knives had the hardest steel and were a devil to sharpen. Because it was so hard, I could not get this knife sharp so it just sat in the knife safe. In less than five minutes, this sharpener made my old Gerber sharp enough to shave my arm. It is now my only Chef's knife. The final sharpening stones work like a fine sharpening steel. It makes the edge straight and perfect. A few passes on this final stage keeps the knives sharp. After getting the knife sharp the first time, you should use this stage many times before you need to use the more aggresive first stage. You must be careful. Knives sharpened with this sharpener will cut you -- I did it twice, and I know how to use a knife. My wife did it once. You must get used to sharp knives. The advanced mode of using either 15 or 20 degree sharpening is great for me since I have one of those oriental knives that want 15 degrees. It is quiet and fast. If you want it sharp. This is the one; Wil Pretty Sharp !   Review Date: January 30, 2010 Reviewer: Denisduffy, Upper Saint Clair, Pa. This does a very nice job on all my knives. I used an oil stone for many years. The difference is quite obvious. I have rescued some very old knives and it does take time, but they are as good as new now. If you have a small amount of knives, it is a bit pricey. I have over thirty kitchen knives and the sharpener is a real time saver. Very happy with it. works great!   Review Date: February 5, 2009 Reviewer: Adrienne J. Burfield, We've gone through lots of sharpeners and this one is the best. Finally, sharp steak knives! Works on double and single sided blades. Great for Asian type Blades   Review Date: May 17, 2010 Reviewer: John W. Laughrige, Bowie, MD If you have knives that require the 15 degree angle, this sharpener is for you. It gets blades extremely sharp.It is very easy to get the hang of sharpening and blades are razor sharp in seconds. If you don't use Asian type knives, get the 120 or 130 which offer more sharpening options for Western type blades as they have three slots as opposed to 2 on the angle select. Works so well, my two neighbors are buying one too!   Review Date: March 27, 2010 Reviewer: L. Tanji, I have Henckel knives in both the American/European and Japanese knife angle and after reading Cook's Illustrated review of knife sharpeners, I decided on this recommended model. The instructions were easy to understand, my knives are sharper than the results of my previous handheld sharper and my neighbors all agree: if you like to cook, this is a essential product to own. It even sharpened a rustic cleaver that my DH, darling husband, brought back from Thailand over 20 years ago that collected dust in my drawer because it was so dull. At the same time of this purchase, I bought the scissor sharper Chef's Choice ScissorPro Diamond Hone also by Chef's Choice and I couldn't be more pleased with the two purchases. If you made an investment in quality kitchen tools, this product will maintain their quality, with little effort.
