The Most Versatile Electric Knife Sharpener on the Market Sharpens Knives with 15 or 20 Degree Angles

Sharpen Western And Asian Style Knives

Named the Best 15/20 - Degree Hybrid Knife Sharpener by Cook's Illustrated Magazine, the Chef's Choice 1520 AngleSelect Knife Sharpener is designed to sharpen Asian, European and American style knives. Unlike other electric sharpeners, it can sharpen the 15 degree angles on your Asian style knives and the more traditional 20 degree angles on your European and American style knives. This sharpener eliminates the need for multiple sharpening gadgets, and provides a compact appliance that is fast and effective. The knife guides automatically position the knife at the proper angle for ease of use. The multi-stage Model 1520 features 100% diamond abrasives and patented flexible stropping/polishing discs that create an sharp and durable edge. It will quickly and easily sharpen virtually all quality cutlery including American, European or Asian style household knives; fine edge or serrated blades; Santoku and traditional Japanese style single bevel edges including the thicker Deba style blades; as well as sports knives and pocket knives.

Different Stages for Different Angles

Stage 1 - Using 100% diamond abrasives, sharpens the edge for Asian (15 degree) knives.

Stage 2 - Also using 100% diamond abrasives, sharpens the edge for American/European (20 degree) knives.

Stage 3 - A revolutionary flexible stropping disk polishes both 15 and 20 degree edges to hair-splitting sharpness.

Built-in, user-friendly newer styled Advanced Spring Technology precision angle guides guarantee you can maintain the constant angle for proper sharpening. No honing oils or water required. Three-year limited warranty. Sharpener measures 9-1/2"x 4" x 4". Engineered and assembled in the USA.

Q. How do the Chef’s Choice knife sharpeners compare to other knife sharpening options available?

A. Chef’s Choice Knife Sharpeners are high-quality electric sharpeners that can put an extremely sharp edge on just about any knife in 15-30 seconds. They are not a gimmick like many other sharpeners on the market today. There are two other quality alternatives available for knife sharpening that will give you a similar razor-sharp edge. The first is sharpening stones. While this is the preferred method for many, it is often less practical and more time consuming than using the Chef’s Choice Sharpeners. The second method of sharpening that we recommend is sending your knives out to be sharpened by a professional. While this method may provide you with a sharp knife, it has two major drawbacks, cost and time. Most professionals charge between $5 and $10 per knife. If you have 5-10 knives in your kitchen, that can mean a cost of between $25-$100 approximately every six months depending on your knife usage. The Chef’s Choice Sharpeners allow you to quickly and easily sharpen the knives yourself on a regular basis ensuring you always have a sharp cutting edge.

Q. Are there any tips for using a Chef’s Choice Electric Knife Sharpener?

A. Chef’s Choice Sharpeners are easy to use, however the tips below along with the instruction manual, will provide you with everything you need to know to operate the sharpener. A) Unless you have special blades designed to be sharpened primarily on one side (such as Japanese Kataba blades), you should sharpen equally on both sides of your knife. You can do this by alternating the strokes through the left and right slots of each stage. B) Never operate the sharpener from the backside. C) Use just enough downward pressure to insure uniform and consistent contact of the blade with the abrasive disks on each stroke.
