This knife sharpener was bought as a Christmas gift. The one receiving enters B-B-Q cook-offs.
I purchased this product because it easy to handle, takes up little space and is efficient. The price was reasonable.
At 90 years of age I feel my judgment of products is good. Experience is the best teacher.

I gave up long ago on using motor-driven knife sharpeners. They break easily, and the knife fails to get as sharp as I require for my use. A sharp knife is a safe knife.
This is the first unit of this type I have used. My other sharpeners (German) are excellent, but the Chef'sChoice Pronto Manual Diamond Hone Knife Sharpener #464
has the feature of pulling and pushing the blade through the honing slots.
I plan to standardize on this device for all of my knives.
Pros: Full tang, balanced, Value for Money, quality, easy to use, construction, Appearance/ Design /Style, Performs Well, Ergonomic handle, Functional/Useful, sharpens all knife types!

I had a similar sharpener (with only one sharpening slot) by the manufacturer of my high-end knives. It sharpened okay, but seemed kind of low-quality, and I thought I could do better.
This Chef's Choice sharpener is similarly compact and easy to use (fits in the drawer) and the mechanism looks better-made. It puts a nice sharp edge on my knives, so it is doing what I wanted it to do, and doing it well.
A bit high priced for the apparent quality though. It's a little bit cheap and plastic-y, like much of the stuff we buy these days.
Pros: easy to use, Performs Well, easy to store, Functional/Useful
Cons: Expensive/ Price

I purchased this hoping it might give a better edge to my expensive knives than the one I have been getting on the honing stick. Wow did it! I had no idea I could ever use my large chef's knife to slice straight through a tomato as though it were a serrated tomato knife! This purchase was a last-ditch effort before trying a totally different set of knives. Nope, it wasn't the knives!

I have tried many knife sharpeners over the year and have never found one that i truely liked. The Pronto knife sharpener is the best I have ever used. Well designed, easy to use, and the fact that it can be used on almost all types of knives makes this item a winner. Well done Chefs!!!
