Product Review

Asian style knives differ from European/American style knives in that the blades often have a thinner cross section where the edge facets are formed. Additionally, each cutting edge facet is often set at a smaller angle. The Chef's Choice Sharpener for Asian knives, Model 315S, features advanced precision spring guides that are designed for the thinnest to the thickest of Asian blades, resulting in a double bevel facet edges each at approximately 15 degrees. The sharpener features a 2 stage sharpening process. The first stage hones each side of the edge with fine 100% diamond abrasives. The second stage polishes the edge with ultra fine flexible stropping abrasives for a razor sharp finish.

5.0 out of 5 stars razor edge in the kitchen, August 26, 2009

I purposely bought this sharpener that grinds the finer 15 degree edge for all of my knives.
It takes a bit of time to initially change the existing 25 degree edge on some knives but after you are done using this sharpener you will have the sharpest kitchen knife you ever used.

I was dreading sending my Shuns and my Globals back to the factory for sharpening. I also didn't trust the local shops. I have a set of stones from in Razor Edge Systems in Minnesota, but I was worried I wouldn't be able to get the exact 15 degree angle. So I made the leap on this sharpener. I have run all my Asian style knives through it, and the result was a razor sharp edge - and no ugly scratches up the body of the blade behind the edge (I saw that in one review). MAKE SURE YOU READ THE INSTRUCTIONS. THAT WILL BE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SUCCESS AND FAILURE!!!

Best thing since "sliced "bread. We changed all our knives to the Asian standards. This is one of those tools that actually works as well as advertised. Because we are vegetarian, chopping veggies is a daily chore that requires a sharp tool. This sharpener does the job quickly and efficiently. A good buy.
