Review on πŸ”ͺ Chef's Choice Hybrid Diamond Hone Knife: Electric and Manual Sharpening for Straight and Serrated 20-Degree Knives, 3-Stage Whitening System by Lonnie Batch

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Highly recommended!

The test of this machine came when I pulled out two of my favorite 8 inch chef's knives that I've had for a little over twenty years and have never been sharpened. I regularly use steel before use (which was a hopeless case because the notches on the edges were too deep) and once a few years ago there was a futile attempt to use a wet stone to recreate the edge. What a disgusting attempt. Fail! After several passes of the most damaged of the two through the car, the end result was nothing short of amazing. The nicked areas have been removed and the finishing touches were wonderful to say the least. I then sharpened a second knife, which luckily only had a few minor nicks on the blade. After spending a few minutes on each knife, it's clear that these two little ones have been given new life and are now better than when they bought them. They live a resurrected life with beautiful, razor sharp edges. Fabulous! Can I recommend the Chef's Choice Diamond Hone Sharpener 270? Absolutely! This turned out to be one of the best kitchen investments I've ever made. this is maybe the BEST! It's possible to get by in the kitchen with less than optimal quality tools, but a perfectly sharpened knife blade, I've just discovered, isn't one of them.

Pros
  • Feels good
Cons
  • Not the best
