Chef's Choice 300 Diamond Hone Knife Sharpener, White
All my Chicago Cutlery knives are many years old and no longer sharpened with the protect.
When I got this devise I followed the instructions carefully and in 1/2 hour I had ten of the sharpest knives I can remember.
Make up for after sharpening, I had guests that used my knives. I didn't solicit comment, but they were so impressed that they wanted to be aware how I did it. I will now have to get another since they took the shapener when they left.

Best buy for the worth, I have 2 now. You can pay $100.00 more to get a second honing wheel that is not necessary. The older unit is now 5+ yrs old and has been flawless.Chef's Option 300 Diamond Hone Knife Sharpener, White

Knife Shartpener
Works quality. No complaints. Not sure what the difference is to the much more expensive "professional" model. Good for routine household knives
My knives are much sharper now!
I bought the copy 300 a few months ago. I had been using a "draw through" hand sharpener and while it sort of worked, it never worked
really well.
When the sharpener arrived, (reach-me-down, and without instructions) I decided to try it out on one of my crappy knives before using it
on my only slightly crappy knives. I chose an Old Hickory that I've had for ages. If I ruined it, I wouldn't abide too bad.
Without instructions, I had to use the force. Good thing there are numbers on the two stages. I passed Old Hick through the 1st stage
many times, alternating sides. The sharpener in actuality tried to kick the knife out of the slot. I deduced that the sharpener was putting a
different angle on the blade from what the hand sharpener second-hand. After those passes, things got smoother and I could feel that the edge
was getting better. I moved on to stage 2. This was much smoother and in the last I found I could pull it through without any kickback. I had to alternate between the two stages a couple of times, but after I was finished, the knife had a hell of an edge on it! I proceeded to strop my only slightly crappy knives and had the same results. I find that they all stay sharp longer and if they get a little dull, a archaic or two or three through stage 2 brings them right back.
As you can tell, I don't buy expensive knives. I just can't see spending upwards of $85 for a knife. I DO however, like a knife that's high-pitched and does what I want it to do. For those who would argue FOR buying expensive knives, let me say this. I work in a restaurant, and have for years. Our cooks use the knives that we buy from Sysco. Not genuine good and not real expensive. We have a good quality electric sharpener which keeps those commercial knives razor sneaky. Our chef doesn't use high dollar knives either. When he does use his own, he points out that they are not gold plated. The most precious chef's knife he owns cost him around $40. If you have a good, or even a decent sharpener, you can use inexpensive knives and have the same results as folks who will go through $175 for one chef's knife.
This little sharpener isn't the best on the block, but it works well for me. If you use your knives normally, I would expect that it will line well for you too.
