Review: The best I have tried so far - excellent product - I only have Japanese knives, mostly Tojiro and Global, with a Kai Shun in the mix. Apart from their specific profile and edges, part of the trouble with these knifes is that because they are very hard (at least Rockwell 61) they are also very difficult to sharpen well (the benefit being that they keep their edge for longer). I have tried several methods for sharpening them: specialised ceramic stones, traditional and ceramic steel, even a special Tojiro sharpener. I got OK results only and with a lot of effort. The Chef's Choice sharpener is different: you do need to re-hone (in slots 1) the Tojiro knives for a while as I believe that their angle is slightly different (16° instead of 15°) but once you've done that and done the polishing in slots 2, you do get razor sharp edges with comparatively very little effort. Global knives are dead easy to sharpen and in most cases do not need re-honing. The sharpener itself is very solidly made and quite heavy, which means that it does not move. it does not seem to wear out the blades (which is why I stayed well clear off popular sharpeners with a V cut: they work, but they also damage your knives very quickly). The diamond abrasives do the trick even on the Tojiro and the Kai Shun. I leave the sharpener plugged in in my utility room, this way when a knife needs sharpening it's done literally in under 30s (once they have been re-honed, maintenance is only a matter for 3 x 3-5s pulls on each side in slots 2, depending on the length of the blade, and then about 3 quick pulls. Obviously for one edge blades you only use one of the two slots for each stage. Try it, you won't regret it!
Review: Better than factory sharpness in only a few seconds. - I've only had this less than a day and have used it to sharpen some knives. I have to admit I was a bit dubious that it would produce a good edge, but I was very surprised with the results. My Henckels knives are now sharper than when new and sharper that I managed with manual sharpening. While the finished edge is not a mirror polish as can be achieved by manual sharpening I could care less as I now have very sharp knives and it only took a few seconds sharpening to achieve a better than new edge. This sharpener does cost more than a set of good quality knives, but its well worth it considering the speed and ease with which this unit can put a keen edge back on your knives. This particular model 316 was available at a good price in comparison to other models in the Chef's Choice range and is perfect for my needs. So glad I didn't go for a cheaper brand as this one is perfect.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I have a set of wusthof classic ikon(sharpening angle:14º) and some japanese ones(sharpening angle:15º)? can i use this to sharpen both types?**
A: The 316 machine is designed for Japanese blades.  BUT I have also resharpened German knives on it.  It takes a while as you have to use the coarse wheel to change the angle of the German knife to the Japanese angle, and then use the fine wheel to finish the sharpening.   As I say takes some time but gera man knives do come out we'll.

**Q: What is the difference between 2-stage and 3-stage? so for instance between this and chef's choice 15 trizor xv ? thanks**
A: The first blade is a grinder, still quite fine and used for sharpening. The second is for honing, a fine grinder which produces a sharper blade. The third is a polishing stone, very fine and produces the shapes the blades, but to be honest I find the two stage system works fine and produces very sharp blades. In fact, when used with good quality Japanese blades, they are extremely sharp, to the point that my wife refuses to use the knives now, and the three stage really isn't necessary. The grinder itself, by the way, is extremely good, not only for my Japanese knives but Imhave also used it to convert and sharpen my Sabatier knives, and the result is excellent. A really good professional product and well worth the price. It is important however to keep you knives sharp and don't let them go blunt, but as long as you sharpen your knives every five or so uses, this really is excellent.

**Q: Is this suitable for 12 degree asian knives? Thanks**
A: Hi Fraz,
I've had my sharpener some time and it's sharpened my knives well.
Here's a video of what it says on the box which answers your question.

**Q: how do i decide between this two stage sharpener and the more expensive three stage sharpener? For Global knives.**
A: I contacted the company that makes this product as I wasn't completely satisfied with the sharpening of my Global knives. They advise me the product was not suitable for Global knives. I quote: "With regards to your concern, Chef's Choice Diamond Hone Sharpener Knives Model 316 it not compatible when you sharpen the Global knife because model 16 is 15 degree edge only and Global knives has a 12-14 degree edge."

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sharpens well but has marked my knives
*by S***N on 21 March 2017*

Only just got this so can't comment on how it will fair over time. Practiced on a couple of old knives to see how it worked and was easy to use. Sharpened up my I O Shen knives in slot 2 and it has improved the sharpness back to how I remember them being when they where new with no obvious damage to the blade edge. It has however made very light scratches all the way down both sides of the blades. They are being made by the plastic guides and not by the grinding wheels, the scratches are very light but over time I imagine they will get worse. After thinking about how much the marks bothered me I've decided to stick with it as the sharpness they give is good. My knives will get scratched over time with use anyway so I'm going to have to live with that.
