Product Review

Designed especially for Asian Style knives, the Chef's Choice 316 sharpener creates an Asian type factory edge known for its thin profile and razor sharpness. Asian chef's recognize this as the ideal edge for all brands of Santuko and other Asian cutlery whether you are preparing elaborate dishes of sushi or sashimi or filleting the catch of the day. Stage 1: Sharpening/Honing: 100% diamond abrasives sharpen and hone the knife's edge, creating the first facet. Diamonds make it fast and easy and will never detemper your knife. Stage 2: Stropping and polishing: Ultra fine diamonds strop and polish, creating highly polished micro facets along the super sharp edge. Precision guides, patented elastomeric springs hold knives securely against precision guides for accurate control of sharpening angles.

This review is from: Chef's Choice 316 Diamond Sharpener for Asian Knives, Red (Kitchen)
I've had this sharpener for about a week. I've used it on my Global knives and it really does not produce a very sharp knife. Maybe I'm not using it correctly, however, I've read the manual and used it according to the directions.

4.0 out of 5 stars Works great for sharpening, not sure if it is better than other model for Western knives, January 12, 2009

This review is from: Chef's Choice 316 Diamond Sharpener for Asian Knives, Red (Kitchen)
This is excellent tool to keep your knives sharp and in good shape, unless you really know what you are doing. It is very easy to use as well. I also have the western knife sharpener from Chef's Choice (equally recommended) but I am not sure I see a great difference between the two when I sharpen my Japanese knives. Maybe using the western knife sharpener altered the blade (European knives have a 20deg blade, Japanese a 15 deg one - maybe mine ended up with a 20deg blade?).
