Amazon.com Review:
It may seem like a contradiction, but sharp knives are the safest. With a clean edge, a knife is more predictable and easier to control. If you've purchased a top-of-the-line knife, maintaining the quality of the blade ensures maximum value from your investment. This Chef's Choice knife sharpener performs professional-quality sharpening on any knife, from gourmet knives to hunting knives--even serrated knives can be sharpened with this machine. For top-quality edges, there are two sharpening and honing stages, which use 100 percent diamond abrasives, and a final polishing stage. Each stage uses precision angle guides to create a unique Trizor-Plus edge for maximum sharpness and durability, while a magnetic pad collects residue so the machine is easy to clean and maintain. While a sharp knife is indeed a safe knife, it's wise to use caution with your newly sharpened knives, as they'll be sharper than you expect. --Laura Cuthbert

From the Manufacturer

For all fine-edge knives, and even serrated knives (as demonstrated in the image), the Chef's Choice 120 three-stage diamond hone professional sharpener lets you select the edge to match the need. It allows you to enjoy incredibly sharp edges that stay sharp longer for all knives. And the Chef's Choice 120 is easy to use and lightning fast.

For Gourmet Knives

Edges for the ultimate in effortless food preparation and presentation
Ultra-sharp, smooth, nonserrated edges produced by unique stropping and polishing disk of stage 3
Safe for quality cutlery

For Butcher-Type Knives

Select the right edge "bite" for fibrous foods
Edges stay sharp longer, even under the most challenging cutting tasks
No job too tough for the Trizor-Plus edge

For Sporting/Hunting Knives

There's never been a better edge for field-dressing game or filleting fish

Multi-beveled edges with micro-fluted facets stay sharp much longer

Perfect edges for woodworking, paper products, carpets, and more

For Serrated Knives

The Three Stages

Stage 1

Use for excessively dull or damaged knives or for maximum edge "bite." Diamond abrasives create first facet.

Stage 2
Use for routine sharpening. Finer-grit diamonds create a second bevel.

Stage 3
Patented material creates third micro bevel, and polished micro-flute cutters along the super-sharp edge.

- Great Product
I bought this product 2 years ago and couldn't be happier with it. It performs exactly as described. It's very easy to use and becasue of that I keep my knives sharp and that makes cooking much more enjoyable and much easier. I had one problem, the palstic guide on the front of the device failed but the company honored the three year warrenty and fixed it quickly and returned it to me. I highly reccommend this product.

- Stirring Sharpener Story
I've read the reviews both good and bad on this sharpener and for the life of me could not reconcile the two. So, based on the majority of the reviews being good, I bought it here from Amazon.

The end result, the sharpener is quite good, but the manual is somewhat misleading and if you follow the instructions in the manual exactly, it will not produce the results that you want. I read and re-read the manual before sharpening, did a practice test run before putting the knives through, so imagine my surprise when my Henckels Four Stars were not sharpening. However, when I passed ... Read More

- Easy and quick sharpener
I used to sharpen my knives with many different hand sharpening tools. They would do a good job on them, but they always took planning and a fair amount of work. That led to knives not getting sharpened nearly as often as they should have. I finally got tired of dull knives and got this.

At first I thought I would just sharpen my cheaper knives with it and do the better ones the old way. I found out it does a very good job on all knives and haven't sharpened any knife with anything else for a very long time. It's quick and does a very good job of sharpening. What more could you ask ... Read More

- Confusing Image Different Than Product Description
This product is advertised as a M130 but the picture is NOT the 130, but a previous model 120. The M130 is shown elsewhere at $149; so this is very confusing. Why offer a M130 at $130 w/a picture of the M120 and in another place offer a M130 at $149 w/the correct picture??? Tells me that if you order the $130 one, thinking you're ordering the M130, you may instead get the M120 model!! TOO confusing if you are specifically trying to order the EXACT thing! Picture should be accurate!!

- Scratches blades!
I purchased this model based on the positive reviews here, and the recommendation from Cook's Illustrated, but I haven't had the same positive experience. It puts long fine scratches on the sides of the blades. I know it's just cosmetic, but I just can't subject my Wusthofs to it. I rated it 1 star, because hopefully it will get the attention of people for whom this might be a determining factor in their purchasing decision. Most of the reviews don't mention this problem, and many of the reviews that mention it, still have a high rating, so it may be overlooked by someone looking for critical ... Read More
