Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Chef's Choice 440 2-Stage Manual Sharpener
Customer Review: Terrific product
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased an expensive electric knife sharpener that didn't do a very good job. The only reason I bought this was because of the reviews, and they are right on target. This sharpener is fabulous. My knives are really sharp for the first time in years. What a joy!Customer Review: Great product
Summary: 5 Stars
Unbeatable for the price. Easy to use. Doesn't give true razor edge results, but close to it.Customer Review: Works as advertised

Summary: 4 Stars
I have always sharpened my knives with a ceramic rod sharpener, but it seemed to not be working so well anymore. Cooks Illustrated recommended Chef's Choice M130 Professional Knife-Sharpening Station, Platinum, but I was not going to spend $150 to keep my knives sharp! Luckily, this one works fine. I found it a little difficult to keep the angle right to keep the indicator disks spinning through the whole length of the knife, but it sharpened them fairly quickly -- only about 10 strokes needed per slot. Like I said, I have kept my knives reasonably sharp already, so they needed less work. And I have only used the sharpener on my Wusthof and Henkels knives, which are better to start with than what others might have. But keeping that in mind, this is a good bet for the home cook.Customer Review: Good Sharpener
Summary: 4 Stars
I generally sharpen my knives on an old, two-sided oil-stone then trim them up with a steel. This little feller sits in my kitchen drawer and really redoes the the edges. I would stick with the advice to use little force; it may take a bit longer but you will get the edge you want. The edge looked straighter than before sharpening.
