I really like this sharpener. I read an article at Cooks Illustrated and decided to buy one. The thing works great! My knives are sharper than they have ever been, and I am a very happy cook again.
Really sharp! September 6, 2008

Have not used the sharpener that much yet but it didn't take me 5 minutes
to sharpen my Swiss Army knife and then cut my hand requiring 3 stitches!
I have not personally used a sharpener that does this quick and
professional a job. It is amazing.
Wonderful Product July 12, 2008

I have owned a Chef's Choice knife sharpening system before but it was an old lesser model. It performed ok and made my knifes useable. I read a lot of reviews for this product and decided to get one for myself and I also sent one to a friend. I love to cook and I have a nice set of knifes that I was going to take out to have professionally sharpened. I got this system and was a little skeptical due to some of the negative reviews. I followed the directions and took my time with the sharpener. I was AMAZED with the results; it performed just as I hoped it might. I prefer a steeled edge so I followed the directions for a fine steeled edge using step one until I got a consistent burr on one edge. I then ran it through step two for 20 passes on each side and then did a very light and quick two passes through step 3. I got an amazingly good edge on my knifes and they cut through things so smoothly. This is a wonderful system but you have to take your time and pay attention to what you're doing. The biggest key is to let the system do the work and not force the blades through the steps. I will recommend this system to all of my friends and I will send one to my brother who owns a restaurant. This system makes a huge difference and for the person that likes to slice easily through food instead of sawing through it you will be pleased with the results.
Wow, very sharp! July 8, 2008

I sharpened my set of Henkels that are 6 years old. They couldn't cut your finger even if you tried.
Fast forward to the M130. Within 10 minutes, all my knives were sharpened. I opened up our brand new Global knife from Williams-Sonoma that we got as a wedding gift to compare.
I cut several oranges with the global knife and then with the Henkel's chef's knife. The difference is so minimal that you would hardly be able to tell unless you were doing an A/B comparison.
The $150 is a lot better than buying a new set of knives. Great thing is, I'm planning on helping my parents and in-laws sharpen theirs as well. Gots to get my $$'s worth!
 nearly excellent July 4, 2008

Performance is much improved over previous Chef's Choice models. Following initial use, it did not appear to sharpen serrated knives well - minimal increase in sharpness,if any. Otherwise, provided a rather rapid, foolproof means for maintaining sharp non-serrated knives.
