Chef's Choice Professional. Heavy Duty Diamond Hone Sharpener. Electric Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)THE GOOD: For only a little extra money, this knife sharpener adds a "pre-sharpen" stage that quickly puts a straight, coarse edge on large or small knives. Works very well, and minimizes wear on diamond pads used for later fine edge-sharpening. IMHO, the knife after just pre-sharpening is actually perfect for cutting fruits, vegetables, other foods that cut better with slightly serrated blades. Using all three sharpening stages with this rig produces a top-quality knife edge which lasts as long as the metal will allow and cuts beautifully through meats or other food.

THE BAD: Noisy, and vibrates a bit during normal use. The four little rubber feet do stabilize the machine (on clean dry surfaces) but might not last "forever" in kitchens where a portable electric sharpener gets thrashed excessively. Removable plastic cover for first-stage pre-sharpen slot is a bit flimsy and can easily get lost (a hinged or SLIDING cover would be better). Reminder: the diamond pads in modern sharpeners can and do wear out (buy a few extra spares); replace them when your dull knives "laugh in the face of danger."

Only complaint = even with helpful magnetic grippers, the second- and third-stage sharpen and hone slots require a firm knife grip (especially with small knives), careful aim, and control of angle and knife motion. In other words, this sharpener is not "automatic"; it's fast and precise, but only if the user is slow and methodical. Practice with your cheap old knives before working on the high-class cutlery.

Chef's Choice Diamond Hone Commercial Knife Sharpener Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The 2100 is the top-end commercial version of the Chef's Choice electric sharpeners. According to the manufacturer (EdgeCraft) it is intended for "busy commercial kitchens." It is a bit larger (about an inch in each dimension) and heavier than the consumer models but still compactenough to leave on the counter top. The sharpening module is removable. It can be run through a dishwasher; therefore, if you sharpen a dirty knife, you can clean the sharpener. You can also purchase replacement sharpening modules.

I purchased this for home use, so I will compare it to the consumer models and comment on the price.

The 2100 uses a 3-stage sharpening system. The first two stages use diamond abrasives and the third stage uses flexible stropping disks. You can achieve several edge configurations by using or skipping certain stages. There is good information available on the Chef's Choice Web site ([...]) that I won't repeat here.

The sharpening unit itself appears to be about the same size as the consumer versions. The sharpening stages are like those on the M120 consumer model. Both have 2 sharpening stages and a stropping stage. (By comparison, the M130 has one sharpening stage, a stropping stage, and a steeling stage.)

The 2100, like the other Chef's Choice sharpeners does a very good job of sharpening knives. In terms of results, you just can't beat manual sharpening -- that is, if you have the right equipment, you know how to use it, and you do use it. I have a good manual sharpening system, but it is a bit time consuming to set up, so I tend to do it only when I have several knives that need sharpening. The result is that at any given time, I may pick up a knife that is not quite as sharp as I would like. With an electric sharpener on the counter top, I can give a knife a quick touch up whenever it needs it. The result is that all my knives stay very sharp all the time.

The real question, I think, is whether the extra cost is justified for home use. Roughly speaking, the 2100 is four times the price of the M120 or M130. In fact, the cost of a replacement sharpening module for the 2100 is only slightly less than the cost of a new M120. I expect that the abrasives in the consumer units should last about as well as the sharpening module in the 2100, which is rated at 5000 sharpening cycles. If you sharpen 20 knives a week, that's about 5 years. I'd guess most people are more likely to sharpen 5-10 knives (or less) per week. That translates to 10-20 years. From an economic standpoint, it makes better sense to buy an M120 or M130 and send it back to EdgeCraft for refurbishment when the abrasives wear out or just buy a new one.

Of course, there are those pesky non-economic factors. I am often willing to spend more money for something that will take more use and abuse and which is likely to last at least as long as I will. I am very happy with the 2100 as long as I don't think about how much I paid for it.

Chef's Choice 110 Professional Diamond Hone Sharpener Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Cooks Illustrated gave this sharpener a very strong review (their best-of-class as I recall) and I reluctantly laid down my trusty sharpeningsteel to give it a try.Once I got this special 3-beveled edge on ourknives I never regretted the decision to switch.What's particularly niceis that the edge returns so easily with a quick touch-up on the finestsetting.
I've also notice virtually no obvious loss of metal on theknives after many touch-ups, a problem with other sharpeners that canquickly consume your blades.If you want an edge that makes you feel morelike a surgeon than a chef, this will deliver.
[The only downside is thatit's no good for serrated knives, but their newer model 120 will handlethem too.]

Chef's Choice 130 Professional Sharpening Station, Brushed Metal Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a very good electric knife sharpener. The operation is incredibly easy. One literally just needs to pass the knife a few times through the machine, and the edge is nicely sharpened. The result is not surgical-knife sharp, but for regular kitchen chores, it is perfect. It even accept the hugely thick chopping knife. The only minor problem I ever had was with a cheap serrated blade, which was just too soft to hold a nice edge, but I don't consider it a fault of this machine.
