It quickly sharpens all brands and types of knives, including straightedge and serrated and contemporary double-bevel or single-bevel traditional Asian-style knives. The three-stage unit combines ultra-sharp 15-degree edge technology with the strength and durability of the triple-bevel arch-shaped Trizor edge, which resists dulling longer than conventionally sharpened hollow-ground or V-shaped edges. Simply pull the blade through the slots to obtain the desired level of sharpness–the machine accommodates the thickest and thinnest knife blades and adjusts for the proper angle automatically thanks to its flexible spring guides. The first stage features conical disks with diamond abrasives that create extremely fine micro-grooves and the first major bevel of the arch-shaped edge. The second stage uses even finer diamond abrasives on conical disks to shape the second, smaller bevel with finer microgrooves. The third stage uses patented, flexible, abrasive stropping disks that create a microscopically smooth, sharp edge with minimal metal removal, helping to extend the life of fine knives. Even more, it produces the third and final bevel while polishing the micro-grooves formed in the first two stages. Stage three can also be used to straighten and sharpen each tooth of serrated knives. Use the three stages in different combinations to create a custom edge. Other highlights include a simple front-access on/off switch, four stabilizing feet for secure operation, and durable construction for long-lasting performance. Assembled in the USA, the knife-sharpening station measures approximately 6-1/5 by 12 by 6-2/5 inches and carries a three-year limited warranty.
Chef’s Choice 300 Diamond Hone Knife Sharpener , White (Kitchen) The concept is appealing: a small electric sharpener with magnetic sides that help guide the knife. The problem is that it is slow going when you first get it and it doesn’t work at all after a year or so. I guess the stones wear out or something. Anyway, mine is totally worn out and I am look ing for another solution.

It puts a professional-style edge on any kitchen or sporting knife (except serrated knives). Because magnetic guides hold a blade at the proper angles, no guesswork is involved. You simply grip your knife loosely and pull it lightly through the sharpener’s slots with out pressing down. Key to this knife sharpener’s performance is the two different stages: the sharpening stage and the second honing stage, which polishes the blade to a razor edge. Those two stages create different bevels, putting a ‘shoulder’ on an edge instead of sharpening with a single bevel. The shoulder strengthens the edge so it lasts longer. For each stage there is a pair of slots, and the slots use 100 percent diamond abrasives for hardness. The sharpener measures 7 inches long, 4-1/4 inches high, and 3-3/4 inches deep and carries a two-year warranty against defects. –Fred Brack

Chef’s Choice 300 Diamond Hone Knife Sharp ener, White (Kitchen) Like all other one star reviews I cannot get a sharp edge on our knives with this. I read the instructions carefully and used the technique as stated in the manual. It does take a while to get the hang of it. Just doesn’t work. The edges are really ragged and uneven and do not last. I think the ‘sharp’ I am feeling is just a bur the sharpener creates along the edge which is quickly flattened during use. I have a few knives it just simply won’t put an edge on at all. Period. And I’m talking with about 20 passes on each side. Very disappointed.

Wusthof Precision Edge 4 Stage Knife Sharp ener (Kitchen) I’m surprised anyone gets excited about this sharpner. It is no better than the $7 carbide sharpeners and a small hand-held ceramic stick from Wal-Mart. I really don’t know what I expected — diamond wheels, sharpening stones, whatever. I didn’t expect to get a carbide pull-through and a ceramic pull-through. At least with the hand-held sharpeners from Wal-Mart you can lay the knife edge upwards and pull the sharpener over the knife with a high degree of accuracy in pressure and location. This thing is hard to hold still and the carbide blades are very rough-feeling.This is not a case of getting what you pay for. Go to any sporting goods or discount store and buy the hand-held sharpeners and a crock stick.06/21/2011 — Update. After sharpening 9 knives with this tool, it suddenly began sharpening just one side of the blade. I made sure I was using the correct angle and it still basically ruined one knife. Definitely not worth the money.

Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Sharp Duo Knife Sharp ener (Kitchen) I suppose everybody gets slightly different results based on exactly what type and brand of knives you are sharpening and how good you are as a knife shapener. I sharpen mostly plain edge tactical and hunting knives. Over the years I have used many of the the more expensive sharpening kits with so/so results. For a long time I sharpened with Arkansas stones. All of these methods did sharpen but it took more time than I wanted to spend. I received this Twin Sharp ener a couple of weeks back and sharpened 4-5 tactical knives with blades running between 3-5 inches long. Most of the blades are stainless. On all the blades, I took about 12 swipes thru the number 1 course slot and then another 30-40 swipes thru the number 2 fine slot. Don’t use heavy pressure… Let the blade glide thru. In all cases you can feel the edge getting sharper with less drag as you pull it thru the slots. Finally, on the fine slot, the blade will glide with no resistance and no grinding sound. Now slice it thru paper and you will see a very very sharp knife. I don’t know if it is ‘scary sharp’ but it is extremely sharp… like in ‘Be Careful Sharp ‘. I would imagine that a lot of people who love to sharpen knives won’t like any kind of sharpener if it isn’t a sharpening stone or steel rod. I say ‘Have at it’. Personally I like a sharp knife but would rather be using it rather than spending time sharpening it. I don’t know how long it will take for this sharpener to wear out as some less expensive ceramic rods/bars wear pretty quickly. But as of right now, I highly recommend this sharpener.

The stainless-steel sharpener comprises two modules, which are marked on the sharpener. The first module features steel wheels for coarse sharpening and presharpening, and the second module uses ceramic wheels for fine sharpening and smoothing. This sharpener works well for both right- and left-handed people, features rubber feet so it won’t skid on the countertop, and measures approximately 8 inches across and 3 inches tall, so you can store it in a drawer or display it in a small space. To use, place the knife sharpener on a flat surface, pressing down slightly with one hand. Draw the knife blade with a little pressure towards yourself, repeating up to five times for the dullest blades. For very blunt knives, use the first module and then the second. Knives with a bit of bluntness may require only the first module to bring back the original sharpness. Check the results by cutting into a sheet of paper.
Chef’s Choice 300 Diamond Hone Knife Sharp ener, White (Kitchen) Get the Presto Pro instead of this junk. I had to throw this one away because one of the wheels stopped working. It never impressed me when it worked. I got the Presto Pro and was blown away at how much better it was than the Chef’s Choice , and it was almost half the price. Go with the Presto Pro…you will be happy you did.

Presto 08810 Professional Electric Knife Sharpener (Kitchen) I purchased the Presto 08810 after looking at several different sharpeners. I had a few kitchen knives and a Browning pocket knife that needed sharpening. For the first attempt using the Presto 08810, I decided to start with the pocket knife. I must mention that you need to read the instructions before you use this machine or you can do some damage to your knives. I started on stage 3 because my knife was not overly dull, it’s edge just needed to be touched up so to speak. I was very impressed with my first attempt. The knife is super sharp, and it just took a couple passes to get it there. The other knives I sharpened were both inexpensive chopping knives, a 7 inch, and 9 inch. I started on stage 2 because they were both somewhat dull, but could still chop. I made 3 passes, alternating sides after each pass. I repeated the same procedure on stage 3. Wow! They are really sharp now! I don’t know why I waited so long to purchase a knife sharpener because a knife is something most people use everyday. This is a must have type of item, in my opinion, and this Presto 08810 did just fine.
