Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Chef's Choice 120 Diamond Hone 3-Stage Professional Knife Sharpener, Black
Customer Review: Wished I had bought this the first time
Summary: 5 Stars
When I got married six years ago, we got a set of Chicago Cutlery knives. Up until then, I never knew what a pleasure using something other than cheap serrated steak knives could be. With time and experience, I have realized that they were on the cheaper end of knives but they worked just fine for my cooking skills. However, they eventually lost their edge and no amount of steeling them could bring them back. I bought a couple hand held sharpeners but none of them worked to bring them back to life. A couple years ago after reading many reviews on here, I bought a set of diamond honing blocks because that is what all the really "serious" cooks seem to say obtained the best results in the reviews. I'm sure they probably do work but it is very difficult to obtain the proper angle and I spend lots of time and remove lots of metal and still only end up with a knife that is slightly sharp. I needed something that was easier and most importantly, more consistent to use but had up until now, been scared of the cost of one of these electric sharpeners. After much searching and with much trepidation after reading some of the negative reviews, I bought the Chef's Choice 120. Since many reviews stated the importance of reading the manual, I did, every word. After doing so, it became clear as to why it is important to do so because it walks you through sharpening a knife in very easy to follow and specific directions and it takes all of five minutes to read cover to cover. Then I took out my dullest of my cheap Chicago Cutlery knives that we never use and went through the procedure. It came out razor sharp. Ten minutes later I had every knife in the house including three very dull pocket knives sharpened and couldn't believe how pleasurable they were to use again. This purchase has been one of the best I've made on here in awhile and certainly worth every penny. I just wished I had bought it first instead of wasting all that money on hand held gadgets that didn't work.
Description of Chef's Choice 120 Diamond Hone 3-Stage Professional Knife Sharpener, Black
Chef's Choice Diamond Hone Plus EdgeSelect knife sharpener Model 120: The lightning-fast professional home sharpener uses completely new technology to create, in seconds, the Trizor-Plus edge, which can be customized to suit each cutting task. Sharpening straight-edge and serrated knives, the Chef's Choice EdgeSelect has twice the power of any other home sharpener. It's extremely easy to use--anyone can put astonishingly sharp, long-lasting edges on knives in seconds. You can select extremely sharp, hairsplitting edges that slide smoothly and effortlessly through delicate foods like smoked salmon and prosciutto, or, alternatively, edges with "bite" for more demanding jobs, like cutting tough fibrous foods and meats. The 100 percent fine diamond-coated conical disks in stage 1 and stage 2 form the first and second bevels of a durable, arch-shaped edge. In stage 3, a revolutionary flexible stropping disk creates an ultra-sharp polished third bevel and cutting tip while polishing the first two bevels to form sharp cutting flutes that enhance the cutting action on both sides of the edge. Built-in high-precision elastomeric angle guides eliminate guesswork, ensure hairsplitting sharpness time after time. The new sharpener is so ruggedly built that it is backed by a limited three-year warranty. The unit is compact, and the resilient elastomer feet hold the unit securely to work surface. The Chef's Choice Diamond Hone Model 120 requires no sharpening oils or liquids. Made in the United States.With its three-stage, high-speed polishing system, this Chef?s Choice electric knife sharpener keeps all household blades hairsplitting sharp, honed, and polished. The machine quickly sharpens gourmet kitchen knives, butcher knives and cleavers, hunting and sporting knives--it even sharpens serrated knives. Using 100 percent diamond abrasives of differing grit, the sharpener creates two blade facets in the first two stages. The third stage strops and polishes, completing the sharpening with a micro bevel and micro-flute cutters. Together, these processes combine to create the Chef?s Choice patented Trizor-Plus edge.
A compact unit, the sharpener features three separate sharpening platforms with left and right slots and internal springs to guide knives securely. The weighted base and nonskid feet keep it stable when in use. The sharpener also includes a rocker power switch, durable housing, and a manually activated cleaning and dressing tool to clean the honing disks in stage 3. Measuring 9-3/4 inches by 4 inches by 4-1/4 inches, the sharpener carries a three-year warranty.
