TBH, I have stones, and as much as I enjoy sharpening my knives by hand, this is so much easier. Supposedly, the wear on the knifes are higher with this device, but, I am no chef, and I doubt the knives will wear out in my lifetime.

I ordered this yesterday when I saw it returned in stock and here's why: A few years ago I bought one from Amazon, tried on a few knives and returned it, thinking it wasn't much better than the cheap $30 Presto one I have been using. Fast forward to last week, and I pulled out a cheap Mercer knife I have as a backup that was sharpened with the Chef's Choice and it was way sharper than my Victorinox sharpened with the Presto. The difference was obvious. I have wet stones and other manual sharpeners, but I was pretty surprised how sharp that $15 knife was after using this.

Chef'sChoice Model 1520 is an electric knife sharpener that stands out for fast, very sharp results with far less hassle than stones or manual systems. It is described as easier and safer to use than some belt sharpeners, and long term use has kept everyday kitchen knives, including Japanese blades, in good shape. The main drawback is that the bolster can block full blade contact near the heel, especially on chef's knives, and the 15 degree setup can require a lot of grinding when converting thicker edges. It is a convenient home sharpening tool if you can work around that heel issue.

  • Long-term ownership reports very sharp results without visible knife damage over years of use.

  • The device can be convenient for quick home touch-ups when pulling out stones is impractical.

  • The sharpener can produce noticeably sharper edges than other electric sharpeners on comparable knives.

  • The system can feel less intimidating and safer to use than a Work Sharp setup.

  • The bolster can block full blade contact near the heel, which makes rocking chef's knives difficult.

  • The multi-step process can remove a lot of metal if the first step is used for normal sharpening instead of only addressing major nicks.

  • Converting non-15° knives to a 15° edge can require heavy grinding and can become harder to maintain as blades wear.

  • Using the sharpener on a machete can wear out the sharpener quickly.

You can buy the Work Sharp MK2 Professional Electric Knife and Tool Sharpener for $90 and it is 100X better than this and so EASY. Just practice on a cheap knife. any electric sharpener can take a lot of metal if you are not careful
I have the MK2 and unless i have half an hour dedicated to sharpening knives which i never do nor want too it's just too much hassle. It makes a mess with metal shavings so you need to sharpen in the garage, and have a few knives selected for sharpening because swapping belts for 1 or 2 knives is not worth the effort of setting everything up. Because of that i rather get this electrical sharpener, all youtube reviews point to this one as one of the best for kitchen knives.

This is a great deal. I've owned one for years, and it's great. I probably wouldn't have gotten it for myself (I already owned a manual one) but this was a Christmas gift. The only trick is to always hold the knives steady and horizontal. Possibly my favorite small appliance!

I've had this for 5+ years and love it. I've tried a lot of sharpening methods including whetstones and random Instagram purchases and this is the best. if it is indeed damaging my knives then I honestly can't tell- i've been sharpening my same set of chef's knives (primary being a nice Japanese one) and they all seem completely fine and super sharp. I remember being hesitant to buy it before because folks had said it would damage my knives, but want to let you know I have not seen this

Aren't these suppose to be really bad for your knives?
Do you plan to keep your knives and pass them down to the next generation?

I have several knives worth over $100 each, and while I prefer using a belt or stone wheel, that isn't practical for a home setting. Sometimes I am just too lazy to pull out my sharpening stones, so I use this sharpener instead because it's quick and convenient. Now, I mostly reserve my stones for super expensive knives to show off to guests.

I've been using this device and the older model for 15 years. My knives are still in great shape, and I haven't noticed any significant metal reduction. I did use it to sharpen a machete once, but I wouldn't do that again, as it wears out the sharpener too quickly.
