This machine is very convenient. I was tired of using the stone to sharpen my knives. Look no further, this will make the sharpening process a lot easier. And is very easy to use! I definitely recommend it !

What home cooks are saying
I've been sharpening my knifes by hand with a water stone, ugh!!! what a time consuming job. Since I have German and Japanese knifes this model (1520) is perfect for me. My knifes are very sharp and honed to the correct angle. This is a great machine.
Donald M. · Verified buyerSharpens very well. Very user friendly. Very safe to use.
Max L. · Verified buyerIf you want sharp knives American/European or Asian this is your tool. I have always sharpened by hand with a steel. My knives are far sharper now almost instantly and they're stropped.
Michael · Verified buyerWow! If you like sharp knifes, you need to purchase one of these. Finally, an electric sharpener that really works. Pricey, but well worth it.

Why Chef'sChoice
A sharper edge, without the guesswork.
100% diamond abrasives
Diamond is the hardest natural substance, so Chef'sChoice's patented abrasives sharpen faster and easier.
Precision angle guides
Guides hold the blade at a consistent angle along the whole edge, so there's no guesswork.
Straight and serrated
The same sharpener handles a chef's knife and a serrated bread knife.
A polished finish
On the electric models, patented stropping disks in the final stage polish the edge.
How the Chef'sChoice compares
Compared with a basic single-stage sharpener.
| Feature | Chef'sChoice | Basic single-stage sharpener |
|---|---|---|
| Abrasive | Diamond abrasives | Often carbide or ceramic |
| Stages | Multi-stage sharpening and honing | One stage |
| Serrated knives | Yes | Often straight-edge only |
Questions before you buy
Which Chef'sChoice is right for me?
Mostly Asian-style knives, or want a finer 15° edge on your Western knives: the Trizor 15XV. A mix of 15° and 20° knives: the AngleSelect 1520. Classic 20° Western knives: the Model 120.
What does converting to a 15° edge mean?
Most Western knives come with a 20° edge. The 15XV can convert that to a finer 15° edge for more precise slicing.
Why does the AngleSelect 1520 have two angles?
Western knives are typically sharpened at 20°, and many Asian-style knives at 15°. The AngleSelect 1520 does both, so one sharpener covers your whole set.
What is a triple-bevel edge?
The Model 120 sharpens in three stages to create a 20° edge with three bevels.
Do I need power for the manual sharpener?
No. The AngleSelect manual sharpener works by hand, so you can use it anywhere.
Does it sharpen serrated knives?
Yes. Every sharpener on this page handles both straight-edge and serrated knives.
How do I get the best results?
Follow the stage order in the manual, use light pressure, and let the angle guides hold the blade. Try it on an everyday knife first.
How fast does it ship?
Orders ship within 48 hours, and shipping is free on orders over $40.
