A long time ago I bought a set of Wusthof classic knives and have added to my collection over the years, but the edges have grown dull. Though Wusthof offered professional sharpening at times, taking advantage of the offers would have meant sending my knives away, something impossible for anyone who actually uses them daily. I have read many reviews of the Chef's Choice electric sharpener, most of them very good, and now I add my accolades for this product. My knives are even sharper than when new--good knives that I can keep sharp with the Chef's Choice Pro sharpener.

I value the investment that I've made in knives. I have a knife suitable for any kitchen task from butcher knives to boning, slicing to paring....all are good quality. Over the years, I have wondered how best to keep them sharp. I have various manual sharpeners, but they just don't bring the knife back to its original edge. I have briefly thought about sending them out to be sharpened, but fear that I might lose one. I've investigated a variety of sharpeners and am very pleased with the quality of this sharper. . It is important to read the directions and you will be most pleased with the results

I have a real good set of Asian Knives, and I could never get them sharp as the day I purchased them. So I ordered the Chef's Choice Sharpening Station. It is easy to use, the instructions were easy to read, and it performs great. My knives are as sharp as the day I bought them.

This is the best sharpening tool I have ever owned. I sharpened all my knives as soon as I received the shipment, wow, my knives are sharper than they have ever been, and a simple touch on the station will keep them sharp. I love it!!!

In the past 14 years, I had tried several "sharpeners" recommended to me.
None of them could tackle a Japanese hi-carbon steel blade. This one did as well as putting a terriffic edge on my other knives.
Great product.

Wow! What can I say. This has been one of my better investments for the kitchen! I've been working outside the home for the past 30+ years 8 and 10 hour days so I don't have a lot of time to cook for my family of an evening. This forces me to do quite a bit of pre-cooking on the weekends. Everything I have ever read always advises that you have good quality knives that are sharp. I always thought I took pretty good care of my various knives, but they didn't get sharpened but once every 3 or 4 years. Needless to say I really appreciated them after they were sharpened. I finally decided I should invest in a good quality sharpening station and boy am I glad. I can sharpen just about every knife I have. And while I understand it will work on serrated knives, I've yet to try it. This is a great investment and one I wish I had purchased many years ago. But I have it now and I won't be returning it!

Tried it on all my kitchen knifes and it did an excellent job of getting them extremely sharp. Previously I sharpened all my knifes with a three-step stone. Took forever for each knife. This machine accomplished the same thing in just a couple of swipes.

This item is a true beauty. It will sharpen most any kind of knife or scissors. I only wish it came with a DVD to answer questions about all of the different knives available today.
My wife loves it but my guess my pruning shears will not be allowed near it.

After years of struggling to sharpen my knives the "old fashioned way" and never really getting a truly sharp edge, I decided to get the Professional Sharpening Station, #132. What a difference that decision has made for me! My chopping and cutting sessions needed for home cooking have not only cut down kitchen time, but also made the process safer. After all, it has been said that a dull knife is a dangerous one and that is one my fingers used to prove. Not any more!!!!!! Oh, and it sharpens all knives from kitchen, pocket and serrated - and probably even ones I don't have!

I am rather obsessed with having sharp knives and now for the first time ever I do. I took one of my Mother's old, rusted, steel knives that I had for years used in the garden and ran it through the Professional Knife Sharpening Station 130LE and voila, sharp as new. The reason I am not giving a 5 star rating is that it is not recommended for Asian knives though I suspect I will anyway.

The station we received did not sharpen knives; it dulled them. Even our super high quality knives were dulled. After several tries, all with bad results, we packed it up for return, and went back to manual sharpening.

Sharpener does not work as well as I expected.
Each knife took much longer to sharpen than
indicated in instructions--serrated knives never
really became sharp. Regular knives are also hard
to sharpen--I expected much more than this machine
delivers.

I have had several electric knife sharpeners which were always disappointing in that a really good cutting edge was difficult to obtain. I finally returned to sharpening my knives with sharpening stones and a hand held steel.
The 130LE Professional Sharpening Station lives up to the advertisement; the knife edges produced are sharp enough to thinly slice tomatoes.
I sharpened 5 dull rounded blades to superb cutting edges in the time that it would have taken to sharpen one blade with stone and steel.
I will recommend the 130LE to all of my cooking friends who appreciate sharp functional knives.
