This compact 3-stage electric knife sharpener for kitchen knives sharpens straight-edge and serrated knives, and is so easy to use, anyone can put astonishingly sharp, long-lasting edges on knives in seconds. You can select extremely sharp hair-splitting edges that slide smoothly and effortlessly through delicate foods like smoked salmon and prosciutto, or alternately, edges with varying amounts of “bite” for more demanding jobs, like cutting tough fibrous foods and meats. 100% 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 2 bevels form sharp cutting flutes that enhance the cutting action on both sides of the edge. Built-in high-precision elastomeric angle guides eliminate guesswork and ensure hair-splitting sharpness time after time. This compact unit measures approximately 10 by 4 by 4 inches. Resilient elastomer feet hold the unit securely to the work surface. This model requires no sharpening oils or liquids.

Title: The Gold Standard in sharpeners
Review: Where's the 6th star?? This is an EXCEPTIONAL product, worth a PERFECT rating. I am a tough grader, but this thing is just wonderful:1. It just works, very little skill or time required.2. No water, no significant maintenance, no mess no fuss.3. Compact, space efficient4. FAST (maybe a minute or less per knife)5. SAFE - - the abrasive wheels are spring-loaded, so you can't easily make a big "ding" in the edge of a blade.My wife loves it, I love it, we're throwing out all of our other miserably ineffective sharpening tools. I have no idea about longevity of the abrasive wheels -- but I suspect, with the spring-loaded design, that they will not suffer premature wear-out (because you can't press the knife into them too hard). Time will tell.Read the instructions well and follow them closely, for the best initial results. But honestly even if you don't you'll get sharp knives. Just draw the blade fairly smoothly through the slot (no pauses). I did notice that the edges produced by this system do not have the razor-sharp "feel" on fingertips that I am accustomed to with hand-sharpening, but they ARE SHARP and they CUT VERY WELL. I attribute this to the dual-bevel structure of the way the 3-stage (really 2-stage) process works. Another thing I was concerned about was getting the blade sharp all the way down to the hilt. No worries, the design of the machine allows the wheels to contact the blade down to within about 1/8" of the hilt.I have a 30x magnifier, which I used to examine the process and nature of the new cutting edge. This is a very useful method to understand what's happening with the sharpener and with your knife blades. I highly recommend a 10x or 20x magnifier (jeweler's loupe), they're cheap and you can really see what's going on with your fine knives.I don't normally rave on and on about any products, but this puppy is a gem and I've never been happier with a purchase.

Title: I would give 10 stars if I could
Review: This is by far the best knife sharpener I have ever used which has covered a span of 50 years. This last purchase is my 6th one, (I have given 4 away as presents). I gave one to a good friend that owns a restaurant . He also thinks it's the best he has seen . He ordered two more for his chefs. The sharpener puts a razor edge on knives. After the first sharpening which sets the blade able the sharpening process there after takes about one minute to get back to razor sharp. The BEST !

Title: Not cheap, but an excellent value
Review: The three stage strategy works very well. I've used many non-powered techniques over the years with mixed success. Rods, stones, gizmos... Most work fine under limited circumstances, but all fall short in either the time and effort involved or their ability to do a particular stage of the sharpening.I have a mixed bag of knives, ranging from Chef's Choice trizor and Sabatier au carbone to no-name stamped junk. Of course, this sharpener had no problem bringing them back to an extremely fine edge, but the interesting thing to me, was how differently these knives progress through the different stages of the sharpening. This may account for some of the different sounding reviews here.The manual has good tips, read it!I also have a knife that has primarily been used for construction tasks including sheet metal, sheet rock and digging. Needless to say, this knife was a mess. The 1st stage of the sharpener reshaped the edge in no time.Once your knives are in good shape, it takes very little time to touch them up with the last two stages. Stage 3 is for straightening and polishing the blade, and stage 2 is a very light sharpening. Someone else here mentioned using a steel between sharpenings which is always a good idea. It's also a lot quicker/easier to pull out and put away, and for some softer knives, I think I get a somewhat sharper edge. (BTW this is an F. Dick 12" fine oval steel)There was also a comment about not having much success with serrated knives that I have to echo. It can help true an already sharp edge but it can't sharpen a dull serrated blade.Overall, I've had great results. Both in the quality of the edge it produces and the ease of use.

Review: What can I say it works great, easy to maintain and definitely faster than hand sharpening.

Review: Ich bin passionierter Hobbykoch und lege Wert auf scharfe Messer. Bisher hat das professionelle Messerschärfen einiges an Geld gekostet. 15 € für ein Kochmesser waren keine Seltenheit. Alle eigenen Versuche mit Schleifstein oder anderen Pseudoschärfern machten eher die Klingen kaputt als die Messer scharf. Nach langer Suche bin ich auf dieses Gerät gestoßen und war vom ersten Versuch an begeistert. Selbst die ausgebrochenen Klingen alter „Gartenmesser“ konnten wieder hergestellt werden. Der Hinweis, dass die Messer nach dem Schärfen schärfer sind, als sie sich anfühlen, sollte ernst genommen werden. Die Messer sind rasiermesserscharf und schneiden wie Cuttermesser. Für Wellenschliff gibt es ebenfalls eine gute Möglichkeit zum Schärfen. Besonders gelungen finde ich auch die Reinigungsoption für die Abziehscheibe und den Auffangbehälter für den Abrieb. Die Geräte werden auch durch die Fa. Graef vertrieben und sind baugleich. Fazit: Wer einen professionellen Messerschärfer sucht, kommt an diesem Gerät nicht vorbei, alles andere ist Murks.

Review: Gran prodotto! Caro ma se valutiamo i costi continui per affilare i coltelli da cucina presso un qualsiasi arrotino in qualche mese si ammortizza ampiamente. Facile ed intuitivo da usare. Usato anche con pugnali da campeggio e altri. Una volta acquisita l'esperienza di utilizzo l'affilatura risulta ottima!!

Review: Vraiment un très bon appareil, avec un peu de pratique on parvient à aiguiser les couteaux aussi bien que la plupart des pros le font. J'ai même pu récupérer des couteaux office qui étaient dentés et bons à jeter.Pour certains couteaux il faut absolument utiliser la meule n°1 afin de leur faire prendre le bon angle. Il est très important de faire le test décrit dans le mode d'emploi et de s'assurer que le fil du couteau a des bavures avant de passer à la meule suivante. Ensuite ils s'aiguiseront uniquement sur les meules 2 et 3 sans aucun problème.Il faut aussi tenir compte de la qualité des couteaux, certains ont un acier inox très dur alors que d'autres sont nettement plus "mous" et faciles à aiguiser.Bref ça demande un peu de pratique et puis c'est vraiment super.Il vaut mieux s'exercer un peu sur de vieux couteaux et surtout lire le mode d'emploi avant d'essayer.

Review: 小さな刃こぼれが複数箇所ある包丁に対して、購入したばかりの初心者でも簡単に復元することができました。所要時間は5分程度で、十分切れ味のいい包丁になりました。
