Chef's Choice Professional Sharpening Station:
The newest breakthrough in sharpening technology, the M130, presents all your sharpening options in one compact appliance. It professionally sharpens, steels or strops all brands and types of knives; straight edge or serrated, kitchen, Asian style, sports and pocket knives in seconds. Three stages make it possible to obtain a "better than factory" edge quickly and effortlessly. Stage 1, using 100% diamond abrasives, sharpens the edge. Stage 2 is a super-hardened miniature steel that develops a shaving sharp edge with ultra-sharp microscopic teeth, providing a superior edge "bite". In stage 3, a revolutionary flexible stropping disk polishes the edge to hair-splitting sharpness. Using these stages in different combinations produces custom edges, suited to a particular cutting task. Built-in, high precision, user friendly elastomeric angle guides guarantee fool-proof sharpening.
by DENNY (Bloomington, IN) 2 reviews This works fine for non-serated metal knives holding the angle well. Some handles will prevent sharpening near the blade's heel due to clearance. The middle station is just a steel which seems a waste. Not for scissors. Pocket-knives too short.
by Mary (Santee, CA) 4 reviews I got it because it was recommended by Cooks Illustrated/America's Test Kitchen and they did not steer me wrong. I have kitchen knives that I have had for over 30 years. This sharpener is easy to use and has made the edges like new. It is expensive; no doubt about it, but it is worth it.
by Ronald (Omak, WA) 1 review Sharpen was easy to use and put a better edge than the original one back on the knives. Spouse stated the knives were the sharpest she ever used. Sure beats the stone I used for years.
by brian (phoenix, AZ) 1 review Used it tonight for the first time. So far I am impressed with the results. Put a great edge on several Knifes. Maybe an onine video would make it easier for some to use it.
