Diamond abrasives hone blades to razor sharpness Magnetic guides keep blades at proper angle, eliminating guesswork Two-step process sharpens, then hones entire blade length Works on kitchen, pocket, and filet knives Suction-cup feet hold the compact unit in place on countertop Product Review The Chef's Choice Diamond Hone sharpener uses high-speed orbiting diamond-coated plates to maintain razor-sharp edges on your kitchen, pocket, and filet knives. Powerful magnets hold the blade at the proper angle while you pull the blade through the grooves. Sharpening is a quick two-step process: The first stage sharpens the blade by putting the correct angle on the edge. The second hones it smooth and even. While grinding wheels can destroy a blade's temper by generating a lot of heat, the blades stay cool with this sharpener. Do a whole drawer of knives in less time than it takes to drive to and from a professional knife sharpener 's shop. This sharpener cleans up with a damp cloth and doesn't need lubrication or other maintenance. --Dale Steinke Product Description A dull knife is a dangerous knife, far more likely than a honed blade to slide off the food and slice your finger. This electric sharpener realigns the cutting edge easily and quickly. Product Reviews If you're anything like us, you probably spent a lot of money on your knives a while back but secretly ask yourself "why did I bother?" because they just don't special anymore. That's because they've never been as sharp as when you bought them - something this gizmo can DEFINITELY change. This is a superb knife sharpener - Cooks Magazine rated the Chefs Choice absolutely the best electric model. It puts the kind of edge on your old knives that makes you realize you'd forgotten the true meaning of "sharp". There's only one flaw in their basic model, though. If your knives have gotten very dull, or you want to be a hero once in a while and put a better-than-new edge on a friend's knives, buy the model 110 instead. That model adds a heavier "grinder" blade (seen on the far left of sharpener in the picture) that can take off more metal quicly while creating the basic, third bevel on their "trizor" edge. Once you have that 3-beveled edge, touch-ups with the lighter grinding wheels seem to keep the knife sharp indefinitely. You never need this more than once for all but the most neglected knife, but when you do it's nice to have. I've used it to sharpen a cheap fish fileting knife we bought while camping that turned out to be so thick and dull you could barely cut cheese. Now you could shave with it...
