Title: Best Home Sharpener for Kitchen Knives Ever!!!
Review: Kitchen newbies to experienced cooks will love this sharpener. I have a large collection of European (Henckels & Wustof) and Asian (MAC) kitchen knives and want them very sharp for ease of use and safety. I also have a large collection of manual and electric knife sharpeners that I never use because: 1) they don't make knives wicked sharp 2) they take lots of time and skill to use 3) they don't work on both Asian and European knives, and 4) .they are big and stored away in a closet.I have tried the manual stones, CrockStick, Accusharp, Chantry, Fiskars Rollsharp and at least 3 earlier Chef's Choice manual and electric models spanning 25+ years and this one works as fast and more easily than all of them. Plus it is 1/3 the price of some of the electrics and it works on both Asian & European knives.The latest Chef's Choice I have is Model 120 and is works well on my Euro knives but you have to be quick with the coarsest grinding stages otherwise you will grind in a divot near the bolster. And, the 120 only works on Euros. I recently fell in love with MAC knives from Japan which are so hard they stay sharp longer than my Henckels, but the Rollsharp recommended by MAC wasn't able to remove microchipping of the edge created after several years of use. Instead of buying a dedicated electric Asian or a Asian/Euro model from Chef's Choice I did some reasearch about this model and other brands and bought one as a gift for a relative setting up her kitchen. I tried it out at Christmas and loved it, she tried it and loved it, her Mom tried it and loved it. Since then I have given four more as gifts or as recommendations to friends and family whose knives I sharpen annually at Thanksgiving or Christmas on my electric Model 120. Only rave reviews so far.I've now sharpened about 50 knives with my Model 4643, including several Shun's and carbon steel chinese cleavers and it still restores a hair popping edges on my heavily used MAC 8 1/2" chefs knife. I can now cut ripe tomatoes and crusty bread without a serrated knife because the blade is so sharp. So small, it stores in a drawer for handy access. Sharpens both sides of the blade on both forward and backward strokes.It is easy to use, but please read and follow the instructions. Unlike some sharpeners, a moderate amount of pressure is recommended (3 tp 5 lbs, use you kitchen scale to get a feel for it). If your blade is curved, rotate the handle up or down to keep the portion of the edge in the sharpener parallel to the table, otherwise you may cut into the plastic body and undo your sharpening.A reviewer of the Asian only Model 463 said they liked the Minosharp ceramic roller sharpener much better because the Chef's Choice because it uses flat diamond plates instead of double-sided rollling cones like the Minosharp. Older and less expenisve Chef's Choice manual sharpeners do use flat diamond coated plates but the Models 4643, 463 and 464 all use double sided-cones like the Minosharp and Rollsharp, but, the Chef's Choice cones are diamond coated metal instead of ceramic.The only cons I find with this manual model is that it takes longer than an electric to sharpen a very dull knife, that said, it has eventually sharpened every knife I have tried, no matter how dull, wicked sharp. Just keep sharpening in the first stage until it shreds paper, then finish in the second stage. Not suitable for thick bladed Japanese knives sharpened only on one face.Chef's Choice sells over a dozen manual sharpeners, the older ones cost less, but they don't work nearly as well as the Model 4643, 463 or 464.

Title: Very easy to keep your knives sharp
Review: Lots of sharpeners out there but if you want something EASY and effective this is it. Very simple to use. I run a couple of swipes on knives every few uses. Just follow the instructions and you will have a razor sharp edge on your knives. Couldn't be simpler.

Title: Great for touch-ups and maintenance sharpening on User knives
Review: This device is great for USER knives that need touch-ups or maintenance sharpening. If you have designer knives or expect your bevel surfaces to be museum pristine condition after use - than this is not the device for you.Also, don't expect this device to reset your bevels from the factory if you have your knife is extremely obtuse or uneven edges on both sides - you will dull your edge - until you spend the correct amount of time to thin down your bevels so that the edge is finally apexed. This is a touch-up or maintenance sharpening tool, not a re-beveler or reprofiling device. If you have chunks of metal missing on your edge, don't expect this device to smooth out your edge, that is a complete reset of the bevel which this device is not designed to complete. If you are meal prepping for 20 mouths, 24/7, again - this device isn't for you. It may say "professional" but it's for personal home touch-up/maintenance use, not to run a side hu$tle.I've resharpened over the past 24 months:*4 different branded folder knives*1 spyderco z cut*2 generic sub-$100 santokusFor knives that I have already reset bevels or knives with extremely factory even bevels, this device has replaced my Spyderco Sharpmaker for touch-ups. Even though the Chef'sChoice 4643 takes off a lot more steel than the Sharpmaker, it's at least as fast or faster. Since there is no setup time compared to the Sharpmaker (which only takes about 60 seconds), touch ups are almost instantaneous. This is great for AIRBNB knife rescues when you think it might be safety issue when the edge doesn't bite enough. But again - if you run into a knife that is duller than a spoon, this device isn't for you. And no, this will not sharpen a cleaver (I checked for science).Cons: It's difficult to keep the wheels clean. The cleaner they are, the less chance of accidental marring on the knife sides and the easier it is for the wheels to touch up the edge.

Title: Knife Sharpener
Review: I have been told in the past to sharpen my knife after every use. I received the Chef's Choice sharpener yesterday. I used the sharpener today on several knives I really like the results. My knives are much sharper and will be even sharper as I learn to use the product.

Review: So easy to use and works really well. My knives were shockingly dull. After reading a Consumers Report review, I decided this was worth getting. And after working my knives through five or six of the recommended sharpenings, I finally can slice paper cleanly. And the knives stay sharp - just an occasional touch up needed.There are a couple of other reviews I recommend you read (especially one from Richard JS) - about how important it is to keep the knife upright while sharpening and do not wobble.

Review: Japanische Klingenschmiede bevorzugen seit langem Kochmesser mit ultraschlanken Klingen, d. h. mit einem Schliff von etwa 15 Grad auf jeder Seite der Klinge - und das aus gutem Grund: Diese Klingen sind nicht nur dünn und leicht, sondern haben auch eine besonders schmale Schneide, die sie rasiermesserscharf macht. Auch wir bevorzugen eine dünnere Schneide.Dieser Messerschärfer bietet sowohl 15Grad und 20Grad Winkel zum Schärfen aller Messer asiatischer und europäischer . Das Problem ist wer weiß, welche Grade für welches Messer.Daher Schleife ich alle guten Messer auf 15 Grad um, mit diesem Gerät kein Problem.Es liegt gut in der Hand, ist leicht und schützt den Benutzer.Mehrmalige Bewegungen 5-8 mal vor und zurück mit wenig Druck und anschließend in den Feinschliffe und schon sind die Messer wieder traumhaft scharf.Nie mehr Kochen mit stumpfen Messern
