Chef’s Choice AngleSelect Sharpener, Model 1520

I never want to use the knives from my knife block for small jobs and have these cheapy go-to knives I use all the time and love. I’ll replace them when they go dull, so I have a drawer full of unused knives. I got this sharpener as a gift about a month ago and decided to test it out on one of the dull, Asian paring knives I have. After pulling the knife through both sides of the first slot, my knife was able to cut through a lime like butter! Love how easy it was to use too.

Sharpens precisely, quietly and consistently. To use correctly takes a bit of practice but is worth it. Read the directions!

Great for sharpening non fineness cheap knives. I have VG 10 blade knives that the metal is to soft for this grinder After sharpening it then polishing on a 8000 grit stone the knife,it still was micro rough Not recommend for high end knives.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This knife sharpener is amazing. It has helped to revive some of my dullest knives. Many of my knives are old and have become very dull over the years. I've tried a sharpening steel before but it would not adequately sharpen my knives and they would become more dull than before. I love that this knife sharpener is electric and motorized. It does a fantastic job at sharpening my old knives. It is important to read the manual to get the machine properly set up. The manual is helpful and easy to follow.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This sharpener is user friendly and gets the knives sharp with just a few swipes. Angle guides automatically hold your knife at the correct and constant sharpening angle. It can sharpen both 15- and 20-degree class knives and even serrated knives, something many other sharpeners can't do. It also has non-slip feet beneath to help keep the unit in place while you're using it. So far, my knives stay sharp for at least a couple of months after sharpening with this sharpener. I cannot speak to the longevity of the machine or how it holds up, since I've only used it once, but my first impressions are great.
