Chef's Choice 250 Diamond Hone Hybrid Knife Sharpener, White

After being really disappointed in the local knife sharpening availability and asking all my friends who they use (turns out most of them are not as concerned about sharp knives as I am) I turned to electric sharpeners after a friend mentioned he uses one in his business for blade cutters. I started researching, wanted to purchase the model 220 but with little availability, I decided on the 250. I am very happy with this unit. First off, I watched a number of You Tube videos about using electric sharpeners, very helpful. I carefully read the instruction manual, also, very helpful. There is a slight learning curve, but after sharpening 4 chefs knives, I was able to cut paper easily but most incredible was the ability to slice tomatoes to a very thin less than 1/4 inch cut. There are a couple of limitations to the unit. Can't use it on ceramic (I don't own any) and you won't get as great a result with Japanese style knives, but there are other models that will do the trick. My Victornox and Henkels are wonderfully sharp. Again, watch the videos, take your time, read the instuctions. A great product, assembled in the U.S.

I don't sharpen good kitchen knives as a career, so the big expensive sharpeners were not for me. My interest was a good sharpener that did not ruin my very good German, French & Japanese blades. The really cheap sharpeners would grind my knives down quickly yes, exactly what the local guy with the old grindstone did when given a cheap test knife. This CC 250 sharpener fit my requirements fair price, good sharpener. And if it hadn't or wears out too quickly, then my investment in this sharpener was not high enough to cry over. As always, Amazon shipped & delivered quickly. The sharpener has proved itself with all my blades & it's a keeper. The only downside is that the CC people will replace it with a new model with is not as good as this but will come in different colors & will be advertised as improved because colored sharpeners work better.

Good product, does what it says it will do and does it well.

I must admit that I, personally, am very stingy with 5-star ratings.

A 4-star is usually about as high as I will go unless the product is exceptionally great.

If I could have I would have given this item a 4 1/2 but, obviously, that is not possible.

This is one of those items that you buy, try it out once and then try fo find something better. I actually have a non-electric hand held version of this and they both sharpen part of the blade. This electric one didn't have enough power to keep the stones turning when the knife approached the tip of the blade. I used this on a variety of blade types and found that on the larger blades, it didn't sharpen about an inch of the blade nearest the handle. It might be a "Chef's Choice" but it's not mine.
