Chef's Choice 290 Knife Sharpeners AngleSelect Hybrid 15 and 20-Degree Diamond Hone, 3-Stage, Black

I have tried so many manual sharpeners that didn't do the trick (and wasted money in the process). I am not confident that I could do a good job with a stone. It is very easy to use and takes no time at all to renew the blade to a perfect edge.My cousin recommended this to me and I am thrilled. My knives are happy again! And they now cut like when I first bought them. I have European and Asian knives. This worked great for both. Even my serrated knives are now sharp.I would recommend this to everyone.

works well

This brand sells about 30 different electric knife sharpeners. I spent many hours comparing them before I picked this one to buy. Most models sharpen at either 15 degrees or 20 degrees, but not both. Older US or European kitchen, pocket or hunting knifes are 20 degrees. Asian knifes are 15 degrees. Practically all newer kitchen knifes are 15 degrees. I wanted the ability to sharpen both. This model, the Chef's Choice 290 does both 15 and 20 degrees and does it very well. I have a set of 8 Victorinox knifes. Some have been used a lot and needed sharpening while a 10 inch Chef's knife and a 6 inch filleting knife have never been used. Victorinox is known for their knives sharpness. In only a minute or two each I was able to make the worn knifes and as sharp as the new ones. They sliced a sheet of paper like a razor blade. If you purchase this sharpener I'm certain you will be more than pleased with it.

Finally all my knifes sharp . Working great. Easy to use. Very durable, my permanents own the same one for years. Very affordable,light weight, looking good.

I used it on some cheap Henckels that I have had for years. It quickly sharpened them. It is really easy to use and does a great job. I am not sure why I didn't buy one sooner.
