Features - Three-stage precision sharpening - Works for gourmet chef knives, butcher knives, sporting knives - 100% diamond abrasive will never detemper - Unique "Trizor-Plus" edge for greater sharpness and durability - Two-year household warranty Product Description Chef's Choice Multi Stage Diamond Hone No. 110. This professional electric knife sharpener safely and quickly gives kitchen, sports, and pocket knives an incredibly sharp, longer lasting edge with no guesswork. Patented 3 stage process, 100% diamond abras Amazon.com Review It may seem like a contradiction, but sharp knives are the safest. With a clean edge, a knife is more predicable and easier to control. If you've purchased a top-of-the-line knife, maintaining the quality of the blade ensures maximum value from your investment. This Chef's Choice knife sharpener performs professional-quality sharpening on any knife, from gourmet knives to hunting knives--even the tips of serrated knives can be improved with this machine (for a complete sharpening of serrated knives, however, Chef's Choice recommends models 120 and 320). For top-quality edges, there are two sharpening and honing stages, which use 100% diamond abrasives, and a final polishing stage. Each stage uses precision angle guides to create a unique "Trizor-Plus" edge for maximum sharpness and durability, while a magnetic pad collects residue so the machine is easy to clean and maintain. While a sharp knife is indeed a safe knife, it's wise to use caution with your newly sharpened knives, as they'll be sharper than you expect. --Laura Cuthbert Customer Reviews Spectacular results Date: 2000-05-03 | Rating: 5 Cooks Illustrated gave this sharpener a very strong review (their best-of-class as I recall) and I reluctantly laid down my trusty sharpening steel to give it a try. Once I got this special 3-beveled edge on our knives I never regretted the decision to switch. What's particularly nice is that the edge returns so easily with a quick touch-up on the finest setting.I've also notice virtually no obvious loss of metal on the knives after many touch-ups, a problem with other sharpeners that can quickly consume your blades. If you want an edge that makes you feel more like a surgeon than a chef, this will deliver.[The only downside is that it's no good for serrated knives, but their newer model 120 will handle them too.] Wonderful! Date: 2000-11-20 | Rating: 5 This is a wonderful knife sharpener; I'm very impressed. I've been a stickler for sharp knives all my life, yet had fallen by the wayside due to the "no time!" syndrome.A few minutes per knife with this thing returned them all to razor sharpness, and 60 seconds per knife keeps them sharp. It even made our one cheapo knive, normally relegated to the back of the drawer, masquerade as a surgical instrument ready to tackle tough-skinned tomatoes.Highly recommended. best sharpener I've ever had Date: 2005-08-19 | Rating: 5 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! A must for every kitchen - you can't cook with dull knives Date: 2006-04-08 | Rating: 5 This little 'gadget' will transmogrify the dullest, bluntest knives in your drawer into razor sharp slicers and dicers. I didn't believe it really could; I bought it because I was ready to try anything cleaner than oil and stones - even my diamond hone could not refurbish abused blades to my satisfaction. This machine fixes the problems of those ratty sharpeners on the backs of can openers, the messy and oily hones, the ineffective and tiring ceramic 'V' contraptions - and the user errors. The slots align the blade to the correct angle and keep it that way - the user just stabilizes the knife handle and keeps the blade from running through too quickly. It is that easy! The stages run from coarse grit (for horribly dull blades that you used to cut branches in the garden last summer) to extra fine (to finish the edge or re-align the blade edge after use). Even my cleaver is sharp enough to cut joints instead of bludgeoning the entire beast into submission. Best of all, it sharpens quickly; it is no longer a messy, all day chore to get sharp knives. The only down side is that the sharpener is hard to use on short blades or scissors - although it can touch up the tips of straight-edged snippers. Once you get your blades in shape, keep this machine handy so you can maintain those desirably sharp edges. You can do it! Ideal Electric Sharpener Date: 2007-10-07 | Rating: 5 This is my first electric sharpener. I saw the brand in a Cook's Illustrated review and was persuaded by that and the comments of others here. There is a new, more expensive model but I feel that this one is ideal for my use. The instructions are good and explain the sharpening technique well. I picked up the knack of letting the magnet guide the knife and managed to get the pull speed right too. The result is very sharp knives. The unit is sturdy and sits firmly on the kitchen surface. There is noise from the motor - a whir - and the grating sound as the knife is sharpened. Neither are excessive or troublesome. Highly recommended.
