Customer Reviews for Chef'sChoice - Diamond Hone Knife and Scissors Sharpener, 2-Stage - Black

This is my second one. The first I've had for about 6 years, and was starting to feel rough, so I got a new one. I think it works great for the money. If you have really expensive knives, maybe not so much, but for my average cutlery, it's fine. The only reason I mark it down is because it's listed as "Knife and Scissors Sharpener" but it says right on the package "not for use on scissors."
I would recommend this to a friend!

A real knife pro probably wouldn't like it, but it has been working fine for me. It also put a decent edge on a cheap old knife that was never sharp even when it was new.

Excellent sharpener

I bought this sharpener 7 years ago when I invested in some superior Victorinox knives. It has kept my knives in like-new sharpness with ease until just recently when the honing part didn't seem to be working. I took it apart and found the diamond abrasive had worn off the honing blades, yet was still ample on the coarser sharpening blades. I don't expect a sharpener to last forever, and feel that 7 years of excellence was definitely worth the price paid.
With it apart, I noticed a tiny bit of rust beginning to show on one sharpening blade, so in answer to the question about whether to immerse the sharpener in dishwater I would say "no". If it must be washed, I'd recommend drying it with a blow dryer afterwards. In fact, I'd suggest drying a knife before sharpening just to keep moisture out and discourage any rust. Still, 7 years and rust only begiinning is pretty decent.
I will be happy to buy another Chef's Choice 478 sharpener, and certainly recommend it!

Disappointing product. It does not hone a sharp edge even after several dozen swipes
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
