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.

This review is short. This product works great! I bought it on Cooks Illustrated advice. The instruction manual alone is worth the price of admission. It explains knife sharpening in exact detail without being wordy. It reminded me of miltary instruction. Exact, economical and correct. I couldn't believe the edge of a sharp knife actually folds over, but I followed the instructions exactly and actually could feel the fold. Polished it just as instructed. Knives I've literally had for 20 years that I've sharpened sort of with a whetstone, well, they slice paper now.

And the built-in dressing stone (the middle station) is fantastic. Chef Ramsey might be able to whip an edge back into alignment by hand, but I've been amazed that a slightly dull knife dressed a few times really must be straightening the edge because the knife goes back to razor sharp performance.

Pricey, but every time you cut something, you go oooooh yeah baby.
