Review: love it - works well Review: Great sharpener for both 15 and 20 degree edge knives and very easy to use - 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.
