Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Chef's Choice 130 Professional Knife-Sharpening Station, Platinum
Customer Review: Sharpens as advertised.
Summary: 5 Stars
After years of using a handheld manual sharpener that made knives a little sharper than when I started on them, we decided to try this sharpener, mainly because of these reviews. Though some professional food artists may want more, I cannot imagine getting any sharper knives in less time with any less effort than this machine produces. Keep the bandaids handy until you adjust to the new edges, my wife has used two in the last 4 days. Looking at the rest of the Chef's Choice line, I am not too sure that one of the lower models would not do just as well as this unit.Customer Review: Best of the Best!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I used to think I was pretty good at hand sharpening my kitchen knives---I've been doing it for about 35 years now with good tools. But, this Chef's Choice machine has put me to shame. Without qualification, the edges I've put on my good and not so good kitchen knives with this sharpener since I received it a few weeks ago are the best I've ever made on any knife at any time by any other method. I like using the 1-2-3 sequence to end up with the Ultimate Edge---these edges do everything: Tomatoes, citrus, meat-raw and cooked, high-fiber, low-fiber, you name it.Customer Review: Average Knife Sharpener Over Priced
Summary: 2 Stars
The title say's it all, AVERAGE electric knife sharpener at OVER PRICE. I should have paid more attention to the other 3 star reviews of this product. I will KEEP this product only because my other electric sharpeners I have burned out and I don't have the time to research electric knife sharpeners. My advice to any one looking to purchase an electric knife sharpener is go to any discount store and buy any one of the many available off the shelf. Maybe someday soon a LASER sharpener will become available for home use.Customer Review: Outstanding Knife Sharpener
Summary: 5 Stars
I previously owned the M120 from Chef's Choice and was generally pleased with the results, but found you had to really follow the instructions and run multiple passes to achieve success. I also found the results inconsistent between knife and blade styles. Based on previous reports of this sharpener, I decided to upgrade. Bottom line: Simpler, faster, and better results. You can have hair shaving results in as little as six strokes from start to finish. Highly recommended if you are serious about sharp knives.Customer Review: Great Product
Summary: 5 Stars
I got one of these as a gift, and couldn't be happier with it. I am a knife nut, and have always kept my kitchen knives very sharp. But this sharpener now has them almost razor sharp.
Be sure to read the directions completely before you use it. The stages you use, and the order you use them in will determine what kind of edge you get on your knife. And, if you use Stage 2 (steeling the edge) be sure you give the knife sufficient "pulls" across the steel to get a very, very sharp edge.
