Chef’s Choice 120 Diamond Hone 3-Stage Professional Knife Sharpener, White Cheap PriceI have a new model 120 and have had excellent results for kitchen cutlery. The device takes about a few practice knives to get used to, but once you become accustomed to how much pressure to exert on knives when sharpening, how far toward the hilt or back of blade to insert the knife, and the action of each stage, you will be able to produce razor-sharp kitchen blades, this includes serrated knives and Santoku blades.

I purchase a series of new Cuisinart kitchen knives that were dull; in fact, the blade steel had a burr on it, a sign of an unfinished sharpening process. The knives are made well and use good quality steel, but the company’s sharpening process was sorely lacking. No problem, thanks to the model 120. I sharpened several paring knives, two Santoku blades, Chef’s, long meat slicing, serrated bread, and a serrated fruit/veggie knives with exceptional results. The blades were able to slice through paper after the process, much like a quality sports knife. No need to spend more for an exceptional sharpener.

I even restored the edges on three knives that a previous sharpener, the CC Trizor XV, had ‘butchered.’ The Trizor XV puts a 15-degree edge on knife blades. I found the device took too much material of the blade and produced unacceptable edges, not all of which were evenly ground and sharp. The 120 is doing a far better job of sharpening. The CC120 did an excellent job of restoring those blades, making them, too, razor sharp and once again useful. This is a product that is worth the money. At about .00 to .00 to have each knife professionally sharpened, two more sharpening sessions and the CC120 will have paid for itself. For kitchen knives, this is a great product. And to hone the blades between sharpening sessions, stage three can be used to hone knives. Take the time to read the instructions and you’ll save time on new-product R&D and better understand the rationale for each of the three stages.

Not of Pocket Knives
The manufacturer’s instruction says that one can use this to sharpen pocket knives. Don’t! I tried sharpening a couple of pocket knives and they did come out as one might expect. They were sharp with razor-like edges; however, it’s easy to grind some of the guard on the hilt of the blade. One has to be very careful not to include the leading edge of the hilt. But, with pocket knives we try to sharpen the entire blade, from tip to the end of the cutting edge. This is best done by a manual sharpening system, such as a Lansky.
