Chef's Choice 320 Diamond Hone Knife Sharpener, White

I did quite a lot of research on electric knife sharpeners, on the merits of 2 stage versus 3 stage, read professional reviews as well as customer reviews, on line reviews etc... before settling on the Chef's Choice Diamond honed two-stage rotary sharpener, Model 320.It was the right choice, compact yet with a powerful motor and whether sharpening expensive high carbon Wusthof, Global knives or something you bought from your local supermarket or hardware (or which I have all) ; I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to used and really impressed with how sharp the knives were afterwards - especially on my cheaper knives. I can highly recommend this model.A point of information - on the Amazon UK website, it indicated that it is 110volt (obviously for North American Customer). The model which arrived was 230v, 50hz which is perfect for all European customers. In my case with a 3 pin 13 amp UK style plug, which is what I wanted.

Now I have very sharp kitchen knives. Very good product !

Very easy to get a crazy-sharp edge on your knives with this sharpener. It's too big and ugly to sit on the worktop full-time, but unlike the crappy hand sharpeners, you don't need to use this every time you use a knife. In truth, I've only used this sharpener once to sharpen all seven of my knives, but that was almost two months ago - I cook five or six days a week, and I'm only just starting to think that it's almost time to get the sharpener out the cupboard again. That, to me, says that this sharpener is a solid investment.Update just over two years later... I've settled down to using this sharpener every five or six months. After sharpening, my knives feel like they're pulling themselves through fruit, vegetables and meat - barely any effort required.Hands down the best kitchen gadget I've ever owned.

Cracking piece of kit. Its almost foolproof but just to be sure I took time to read the manual (which looks bigger than it is due to the multi languages). It was a good call as I learned a few useful things.I then set about sharpening my knives. I don't have hugely expensive knives but they are Sabatier types and I keep a reasonable edge on them, I thought. Well it seems I was wrong. The steel is consigned to the draw of 'odds and sods' and won't be seeing the light of day again I suspect. This device took less than 10 minutes to sharpen all 7. When I did the sheet of paper 'edge cutting test' the knives all fell through the paper with the tiniest of help from me. Very impressive indeed.This is not a cheap piece of kit but it is certainly worth every penny to me and I would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone. Excellent results and good value for money so I give it 5 stars

You must read the instructions before you start using it. Takes a while to get the correct action but worth it in the end. You might want to try on an old knife first before you start on your best knives. Worth it in the end though. We now have very sharp knives again.
