 best sharpener I've ever had August 19, 2005
15 out of 15 found this review helpful
I'm a hunter and a fisherman (mostly fisherman) and have had a devil of a time over the years keeping fillet knives sharp. In order to fillet a fish, a knife sharp is everything. I used the chef's choice sharpener on my fillet knives and it got them almost razor sharp. Encouraged, I went and sharpened all the kitchen knives and the box full of pocket knives that I have received for birthdays and so forth over the years. I have nothing but good things to say about this product. Highly recommended!

This sharpener does not work with a thick blade. However, it is fantastic for your thinner bladed knifes. Steak, pocket, paring, everyday chopping knifes come out very sharp.
The only complaint I have is, after going thru the initial sharpening stage; using the second and third wheels result in kicking out the blade about 3/4 way thru. Similar to a table saw kicking out lumber back at you. Mine is new and has only seen use once (all of my knifes), and I don't know if there's a "breaking in" period. It'll be awhile before I use it again because it works quite well. But for now I would recommend it.
Sharp knives, takes practice April 18, 2005

I've owned one for five years and my knives are razor sharp. It took me a little practice before I realized I was using it correctly, though. The directions could be better, and the machine doesn't provide any feedback to distinguish proper sharpening. _Cooks Illustrated_ magazine found that they could get knives sharper with this device than with the higher end models.
 Disappointing results. January 7, 2005

This machine is certainly way better than not sharpening your knives. In other words, it works okay. However, I have found that a $40 diamond-stone knife sharpening block (with no motor, just hand power) gets my knives far sharper in the same amount of time. I'm sorry that I spent more for a machine that makes more noise and does less. Now it sits in the back of the cabinet and I use the block instead.

This thing is a ...joke. Yes, I've tried everything suggested in the instuctions, including holding my hand just so. Curiously, it'll make a grocery store rubber paring knife about as sharp as it will make real carbon steel knives. My guess is, that was the design goal. If you want to sharpen your rubber knives, this is your machine. It does a lot of impressive vibrating and stuff but it doesn't really sharpen knives. If you want one of these, mine will be for sale soon on e-bay.
