I love using this to sharpen my knives. Before this I would just buy new knives and still had a drawer full of dull knives. Now my knives are sharp and can cut a tomato without squashing it. Looks great, wonderful quality, easy to store or you can leave it on your countertop.

The ChefsChoice M120 sharpens worderfully and saves so much time. Prior to buying the the M120, I sharpened my knives using a honing stone and oil. It takes little more than thrity minutes to sharpen all my kitchen knives. I purchased the M120 to save time, which it did; it now takes about five minutes to sharpen all my knives. The unexpected benefit was the knives are so much sharper than before; I have used honing stones for years and never achieved sharpness like this.

Sharp Knives Again

I received this as a Christmas gift -- and it is fantastic. I've had my knives for about 5 years and no matter how regularly I attempted to sharpen them, there was no way I could achieve the original edge. With the Chefs Choice Edge Select, it took less than an hour to have them as sharp as new. I should have purchased it at the same time as my knives.

Birthday Request

My husband had been wanting an electric knife sharpener to sharpen his very nice Hinkle Knives. He researched for days and finally decided on the Chefs Choice Pro M120 . This was the only birthday request he made. Since his birthday in February of this year, we have very sharp knives and he has invited everyone he knows to bring their dull knives so that he can use his new sharpener. He is a very happy camper with alot of sharp knives. A good product.

When I found out that the store that sharpens my knives closed, I was thankful I remembered that Cooks Illustrated had recommended this model as a best buy and I can see why. While I am not a professional, I appreciate a sharp knife and this does the job. I was able to easily use it straight out of the box and was very happy with the results. The directions are easy to follow, the edge of the blade is very sharp; trying it out on an apple yielded that lovely "shush" sound you get when slicking cleaning through a hard object. This morning I sent out an email to my girlfriends offering my sharpener up for their holiday preparations and I hope they take me up on it.

This product has well earned its top rating in "Consumer Reports". It is an absolute pleasure having a drawer full of well honed knives. If one takes the time to follow the instructions, this sharpener actually extends the useable life of your knives.
Food preparation is much easier with properly prepared tools. I would recomend this sharpener over taking your knives to a professional. Professionals charge by the piece. With this tool in your home, you can put a great edge on those knoves that you would never bother taking to a pro.

For more years than I care to own up to, I've been struggling to sharpen my knives.......with limited success. Then I saw this product used at my daughter's house and knew I had finally found the solution. Not only are my knives SHARP, but I'm able to do it in record time. This is a product that will never disappoint!

Bought it as a gift but I don't want to give it up

I have a bag full of dull knives that have been dull since I used up the original sharp edge. I have used a flat stone, ceramic files and other manual sharpening methods that basically wasted my time with knives that would'nt cut a piece of twine. My son and I hunt, fish and farm so having sharp pocket, fillet, and skinning knives are a necessity. After buying the Chef's Choice Edge Select Pro electric sharpener M120 we have put hair splitting edges on all our knives, even my old pocket knife that I burned divots in while jumping the tractor's corroded leads and terminals. It took all 3 stages of the sharpener while our favorite fillet knife took one run through stage 2 and a polish from stage 3. I would recommend this sharpener to anyone having a problem getting a really sharp edge on most any type blade. The instructions are to the point and the three year waranty are a plus.
Pros: Easy to Clean/Wash, balanced, Value for Money, quality, Material, Warranty, easy to use, multi-purpose, construction, size, Appearance/ Design /Style, Performs Well, easy to store, durability, Functional/Useful, Long-lasting, Weight, easy to follow instructions

Sharp knives quickly

fromSpring Branch, TX
We have owned Henckel kitchen knives for 20+ years. the manual sharpener that came with the knife set worked well for most of those years, although it was a slow process. It became difficult to get a good edge so I tried one from a "national big book store"--it was a huge disappointment. I thought about going to a knife store but there are none close to us. From Google I located a great deal from Chef's Catalog for the Model 120 Chef's Choice and within 5 minutes had the best cutting edge on 6 knives we have had since they were new. I plan to sharpen my brother in law's knives and my sisters on our next visit. I love the edge you get with this knife sharpener!
Pros: Value for Money, quality, easy to use, construction, Performs Well, durability, Long-lasting

WOW!! That pretty much says it all. After pondering the many selections you offer, I ordered this model. Upon receiving it, I held my breath and gave it a try. Again, WOW!!
It did not let me down and it managed to exceed my expectations. So very easy to use and the process leaves you with wonderfully sharpened knives. I had a blast gathering all my knives and then making them sharper than what they've been in years using the other sharpeners I had.
Great product!!

THE best sharpener EVER

fromGulf Coast Florida
Purchased a previous model from Chefs back in the 70's, even used it semi commercially as a volunteer Chef for a total of 6.5 years where it sharpened ALL of their dull knives. The motor died in 2003 after 33+ years of use. UNBELIEVABLE SERVICE!
After stumbling around with semi-sharp knives since it was time to come back to the fold,after purchasing and using for the last week or so, I again have knives I can shave with. Simply put, this is the ULTIMATE knife sharpener, best ever made, and at 62 this puppy will outlast me and be handed down. Kudo's to Chefs Choice for such an OUTSTANDING product. Buy with confidence!

This was a Christmas present for my husband and I'm so happy with my sharp knives. Getting knives sharpened in this locality was not an easy thing to do. One store across town only sharpens them on a Thursday so you have to take them in advance and it takes days to get them back. The other hardware store has a hit or miss guy that comes in to sharpen knives on an unscheduled basis. The reviews were correct on this model which is easy to use with quick results.
