This professional sharpening station by Chef's Choice is just as good as advertised. We have an excellent set of Wusthof chef's knives which we had purchased some time ago during our stay in Europe. So it was important to obtain a reliable sharpener to avoid the risk of ruining them. After reading the instructions carefully, it took no time at all to return them to OEM sharpness. My wife was thrilled and it put the fun back in food prep and cooking.

Out of the box, along with the instructions, there was a separate "Warning" about "caution after sharpening as the knives will be dangerously sharp". My first thought was congratulations to the marketing department ..... but after a few minutes of working on our Wusthof knives I was grateful for the warning. Previously, we had a Wusthof manual sharpener which was effective when new but seemed to have lost its ability to provide a sharp edge over the years of use. It seems that the ceramic cylinders were worn from use and this prevented the correct angle from being consistently ground onto the knife edge...... so the knives were not sharpened. We love to cook so I thought the investment in a powered rotary diamond sharpener would be justified. We are not disappointed with our early experience. The Model 130 allows for a 'steeled' edge or a smooth edge. The knives stay sharp and do not require constant attention ---- it's amazing how this small thing adds to the joy of the food preparation experience. This product once again demonstrates for me the high quality and excellence of Chef Catalog products ---- we have not been disappointed yet! Two bits of information if you are interested in spending this kind of $$$ on a sharpener. 1) consider a model that includes the ability to sharpen scissors, and 2) look at specifications carefully to get what you need / want; there are many products out there. All things considered, I would still buy the Model 130.

I have always prided my ability to sharpen knives and refused to use any mechanical tools. It was stone and steel only. I was talked into trying a Chef's Choice model 130. Not wanting to run a good knife I tried to sharpen an old blade that had not been sharpened in years. What a surprise to find out how easy it was to put a good working edge on the old blade. We have 2 complete blocks of knives we received as wedding gifts almost 50 yrs ago One Case block and one Cutco. They have processed a lot of game and fish over the years. With the 130 it will be much easier.

This is a gift for my son. I bought one a few months ago and couldn't be happier. I have many high end, expensive knives (of different brands) and this sharpener brings each one up to it's full potential quickly and easily. I always have small bald spots on my forearms from showing friends and family how razor sharp the knives are. The only trick is to draw the knife through the sharpener slower than the instructions call for. Too slow and you might burn the blade - too fast and you won't sharpen quickly. A small amount of experience will turn you into an expert. Highly recommended for all serious knife enthusiasts.

This was recommended by the folks at America's Test Kitchen. Works great, and I finally have a set of super sharp knives. My only (tiny) complaint is that it is a bit clumsy to store - has to be unplugged and put away somewhere, then brought back out to shartpen knives. However, it doesn't need to be used everyday, so it's not a huge problem.

This product has made my knives like new! What a difference a sharp knife makes. By far, the most dangerous piece of equipment in the kitchen is a dull knife. This sharpener took care of that. Would recommend this sharpener for the serious culinary expert to the newest kitchen novice. Great product!

This knife sharpener is the perfect gift for a home chef! Our knives were so dull that I almost thought we would have to replace them. We had taken them to several knife stores for sharpening and it would only help for a month or two.
My husband, the chef, loves how easy and accurate the Chef's Choice Pro Sharpening 130 Station has been. Our knives are like new again. And I don't have to leave the house to get them sharpened.
My order came quickly and was packaged wonderfully. Working with Chef's Choice has been very easy.

Pearl
fromPort Orchard, WA
For many, many years, my wonderful husband kept all of my knives sharp by using a sharpening steel. For some reason, I was never able to use a steel correctly. When he passed away, I was not only left with a broken heart, but also dull knives, so I invested in the Chef's Choice Pro Sharpening Station. Such a wise decision. My knives are all back in tip-top shape with very little effort. This has become my standard wedding gift as well. It's a winner!

Punkin
fromConcord Hill, MO
My husband and I received the Chef’s Choice knife sharpener for Christmas. We love it. Before my husband would never let me sharpen our knives because he was afraid I would ruin the edge. Not an experienced knife sharpener, I can use the Chef’s Choice without concern. It guides the knife for you through the magnetic sharpening stones at the perfect angle. There are three sharpening stones or steps. The first takes off chips or is more like a rough sharpen for those really bad knives. Then the second, adds that wonderfully sharp edge while the third step is a finish to the edge. My husband doesn't have any more concerns now. It is as easy as 1, 2, 3!

I have been using the Chefs Choice Pro Sharpening Station for 8 years. It is easy to use and keeps your knives sharp. I have purchased at least 10 sharpeners and given them as gifts to family members. I keep my sharpener on the counter and use it a few times a week. One of my favorite kitchen tools because it saves me time and works so well.

I purchased this electric shapener based upon a Cook's Illustrated evaluation. It was exactly as described--easy to use and saved me from buying new knives. My Wusthofs are now as good or better than new--even the serrated ones. I will be donating my manual sharpeners.

Once I got the feel in how to sharpen based on the information provided in the instruction manual, it was smooth sailing. I went through 8 knives, which included a pocket knife and tested each one by cutting paper and each knife passed the test with its razor sharp edge. Great product.

This sharpener does everything I wanted. Works great on ceramic knifes. Which are harder than steel. You will have to pull them thru a few times to get a good edge. Very happy with purchase.
