This is my second chefs Choice Knife Sharpener in 40 years. I love the Asian knifes and thus I needed to upgrade to the newer sharpener model. But I did pass my old one onto a newly married couple and they were very pleased to get it. This is a quality product and I enjoy sharpe knives in my kitchen.

The 1520 knife sharpener dose what the ad says what it will do. I have both Asian and European knives, both of high quality. As they get older it is harder and harder to keep a quality edge by hand. I was able to bring all my knives back to new cutting edges in about a half hour. I sharpened 16 knives in that time. I se that I will be using the stropping part of the sharpener on a regular bacis, however; I see me using the main sharpener once or twice a year and still it is well worth the price.

Bought this for Christmas and have sharpen all kitchen knives. This does a great job with little effort and is small enough to hide away when not in use. I would recommend this to all who are tired of sharpening your knives by hand.

I got the Chef's Choice AngleSelect Sharpener as a Christmas gift. I own several good quality German and Asian knives, so I love that this product can sharpen both. I had stopped using some of my German knives because I could not get them sharp enough with just a hand held honer. I was totally amazed at how super sharp this wonderful machine got them! Knives that had been relegated to the back of the drawer are again taking part in my everyday meal prep, preforming even better than when new. The instructions are very detailed and also provide a substantial education on the difference between Asian and European/American knives. I highly recomment this sharpener for anyone who appreciates having an "edge" in the kitchen!
Pros: easy to use

I gave this sharpener to my boyfriend for Christmas and it has already paid for itself as he has sharpened four sets of knives within a matter of days (we had a lot of family to visit). I love that it gives you detailed instructions and explains exactly how the machine works, as well as why asian and european knives have different angles. This information, along with super sharp knives will certainly improve my time in the kitchen. I highly recomend this product to anyone who suffers from dull knives - it makes prep time fun again!

What I like best about this machine is it's stability. It holds itself inplace even when placing pressure (I'm sure it was more than the manufacuturer recommends because I'm a newbie) when drawing a knife through it. I didn't have to hold it in place and could concentrate on the one thing that was important - sharpening! I sharpened three different knife types - A Japanese santoku, a well used serrated bread knife and a standard german made chef's knife. All of them now nearly razor sharp. After sharpening a few more knives (I've got plenty rattling around in the drawer) to earn my stripes, I think the razor sharpness will be there on a regular basis. A good, solid piece of kitchen equipment.

I use knives daily, and in the cold weather months I cut a considerable amount of meat to grind for making sausage. This device has made my meat cutting sessions so much easier. I especially appreciate the stropping feature. It is worth the cost for sure....

The sharpest knives ever!

I've had stones and sharpening machines and have never been happy with the results. Since buying some Japanese knives it's gotten worse due to the different edge angle.
After receiving this sharpener I ran through all my kitchen knives in a half hour and am ecstatic with the results. Even my ancient Chicago Cutlery knives have razor edges. Also, I converted all my paring knives to the 15 degree Japanese angle and they are sharper than when they were new!
This sharpener ain't cheap, but it's worth every cent.

I bought this for my husband as a Christmas gift. He was very happy and immediately went to sharpen some knives. The sharpener did a fabulous job. I used to take our knives, to be sharpened, to cooking store about 30 miles away. The price was very good but it was inconvenient because they needed a week turn around. Now we don't have to be without our knives.

I didn't realize that my partner had been 'eyeing" this very model and was planning to buy it and I decided to give it to him for Christmas.
He is thrilled and I am happy to have sharp knives in the house.
This unit sharpens all of our knives perfectly.

Finally, an electric sharpener that actually does what it's supposed to. I ran all my knives -- hunting, caping, butchering, fillet and Japanese sushi -- through this baby and they all came out super-sharp. Well worth the money.

We love to cook in our house and my wife is a part time caterer. We've got about 20 knives that we use fairly regularly, both Asian and European style, of every size and shape (Chef's, Santoku, Boning, Paring, Slicing, Nakiri, and a couple of single-bevel carbon steel Sashimi knives. Keeping our knives maintained was an inconvenient, sometimes expensive proposition and the last straw was when we took a few of our beautiful Shun knives in for a touch up and the shop leaned on them on the wheel, seriously marring the Damascus finish.
The Chef's Choice AngleSelect handles ALL our knives, when we need them. The edge it puts on is durable ad VERY sharp. The sharpening wheels only touch the edge, so no more buffing away the finish on our Shuns!.
I love that after obtaining the edge I want, just a 10 second touch up is all I need to restore it to razor sharpness.
CHEFs included a manual scissor sharpener with the order, which we used on all our scissors. Nice.
Pros: Value for Money, easy to use, multi-purpose, construction, Performs Well, easy to store, Functional/Useful

1520 knife sharpener

PostedAugust 4, 2011

This is easily the best electric knife sharpener I've ever used. And my chef's and fillet knives and I go back a long ways. The edge the diamond wheel put on was very sharp. I didn't realize how dull some of my boning knives were - it took alot more than 5 passes to bring some of them back to spec. But it got the job done w/o overheating. Then stropping wheel finished things off beautifully. I have a manual knife sharpening kit that also puts on a perfect edge, but it is such a time consuming process, esp when I've been lazt and have to tackle a dozen or so knives. The other reason I like the 1520 is because it can sharpen my Wusthof serrated knives. I was skeptical about running a $130 knife thru an electric sharpener, but not anymore. The 1520 is fast, easy to learn and made my kitchen knives a pleasure to use.
Pros: quality, Material, Warranty, easy to use, construction, size, Performs Well
