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.

This was purchased as a Christmas gift to replace the same model that wore out after several years of heavy duty use. It is a great product.

The 1520 can do it all. Once you get the process of sharpening the different knives you can fly with this device. Works on everything and very stylish.

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!

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!

This knife sharpener works very well. It was easy to use and very effective. It's a joy to have really sharp knives again something I really value in the tools I use . Best of all it can be used on the newer foreign knives as well as on the domestic ones, a plus since I have both kinds.

My knives were 7 years old and had never been sharpened when I bought this machine. Now I feel like I have brand new knives after using this! It is worth the investment. It is very easy to use... Almost fool proof.

AngleSelect Knife Sharpener
PostedJanuary 21, 2013
First, I like the product and it does what I bought it for. However, I thought each knife went through all three slots to sharpen. Turns out that the first slot is for Asian knives that have one angle and the second slot is for European knives (what most of us would refer to as a "regular" knife). The third slot is the stropping one and all knives finish the process there. I thought there might be a switch or some mechanism to switch between the two types of knives. It's not a problem but buyers should be aware of how the product works before buying so as to understand what to expect when you receive it and use it for the first time.
The buyer/end-user MUST read the instructions before using it. Using this product is more than just pulling a knife through a slot or series of slots.
I recommend using a knife that you care less about on your first use. You could damage a knife if you don't use the product properly. I think it takes a few tries to get a feel for how to pull the blades through the slots properly. Thicker blades do respond a bit differently from thinner blades. At least I thought so.
Overall, a good product. Sharp knives make a lot of difference in cutting vegetables and carving meats (either prepping to cook or after they're cooked). I like not have to use a serrated blade to slide tomatoes.

It is a great tool to put that edge on your knifes. Then it is a breeze to keep them sharp. I sharpened everything that I could find and it did a great job from hunting to steak.

Well performing, fast & stable knife sharpener

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.

I am so happy that I purchased this product. My knives are sharper now than they were brand new. The instructions are great and it is really easy to use. Having really sharp knives makes slicing, dicing and mincing a joy. An excellent investment.
