this is the first sharpener that actually worked. I highly recommend it. Worth the money

I needed a sharpener for totally dull knives. Stage one and three performed satisfactorily,but stage two was a disappointment. I followed the instruction manual but could not see where stage two was doing anything.For the price,I feel it was a bit of a let down.
  Broght our J.A. Henkels Pro S back to Pro Sharpness March 4, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Our J.A. Henkels Pro S knives started out being very sharp. Sharp enough to cut tomatoes effortlessly. And to keep them sharp we bought the J.A. Henkels Twinsharp Knife Sharpener. But over time we have noticed the edge becoming rough and not nearly as sharp or easy to use. Not to mention the "nails on a chalkboard" feeling every time you pull a knife through the sharpener.
So I read the reviews here and decided on the Chef's Choice M130 Platinum.
We got it today, and I read the instructions, which some called not so great, and easily and effortlessly returned our J.A. Henkels Pro S to professional sharpness! They may even be better than the originally were!
I even sharpened my Gerber multi-tool knife which has a 2" blade. It is now razor sharp, better than new.
We are VERY satisfied with this sharpener and highly recommend it.

Excellent product; sharpened all the knives I own in minimal amount of time. Only problem was with bigger knives going through the stage two section as the guard had to be removed. Amazon shipping is ridiculously slow and you are taxed also.....

You hear a lot of comments on risking your good knives to an electric sharpener. Not willing to send mine out and without a convenient location nearby (unless I trusted some kid at the mall cutlery store), I went with one that even Cooks recommends. Sorry Alton.
My knives are all Wusthof Classics, so, a mistake here would have been costly. Even though I steel my knives all the time, three years of use had taken the edge off. I was building up calluses from cutting and using excess force, so something had to be done.
This thing worked wonders. My knives slice tomatoes again with no force. Amazing. I took this thing in to work to sharpen my co-workers blades. All of their knives of various quality (Chicago Cutlery, Henckel, farberware) all could cut soft tomatoes again.
Downsides, which really aren't... Really cheap stamped knives are going to get eaten by any grinder. Although you can strop serrated blades, you aren't putting a grind on them. Then again, serrated blades don't lose their edges in the crescents like your regular knives. My wusthofs have a heel on them that can prevent the new edge from going to the end. Wusthof has a new line that doesn't have this issue. My Wusthof santoku also doesn't have this issue. This isn't the sharpeners fault. It's big. No kidding.
