Product Description
A dull knife is a dangerous knife, far more likely than a honed blade to slide off the food and slice your finger. This electric sharpener realigns the cutting edge easily and quickly.
Amazon.com Review
The Chef's Choice Diamond Hone sharpener uses high-speed orbiting diamond-coated plates to maintain razor-sharp edges on your kitchen, pocket, and filet knives. Powerful magnets hold the blade at the proper angle while you pull the blade through the grooves. Sharpening is a quick two-step process: The first stage sharpens the blade by putting the correct angle on the edge. The second hones it smooth and even. While grinding wheels can destroy a blade's temper by generating a lot of heat, the blades stay cool with this sharpener. Do a whole drawer of knives in less time than it takes to drive to and from a professional knife sharpener's shop. This sharpener cleans up with a damp cloth and doesn't need lubrication or other maintenance. I--Dale Steinke/I

The Chef's Choice 310 is an outstanding home knife sharpener for its price. Very good value. My wife's knife are sharper now than they were when she bought them. Be sure to follow instructions on first time sharpening so the blade angles can be set.
Fast, easy, very good results! May 24, 2004

I have been sharpening knives for over 45 years and this is the fastest, easiest way to get an excellent multi-angle edge on ALL of your knives. I orginally purchased a Model 300 about 12 years ago. The 310 is much better because it sharpens all of the way to the handle, a big issue with small blade pocket knives. brIf you like sharp knives and either do not have the skill or the time to do it by hand get yourself one of these.
Not as good as a professional sharpening or by hand but... February 12, 2001

Even though I normally use a diamond sharpening block and know how to check the angles of the bevel, I have to admit, this device is quick and easy.pIt gives an acceptable edge as long as you use it according to directions. It is convenient, as it can sit on your counter or be pulled out of the cupboard in a jiffy. So you tend to keep your knives sharp. The problem with hand sharpening is that it is finicky work that takes time. This is faster and easier, so you tend to do it oftener. pA sharp knife is actually a safer knife as it cuts easily. If you force a dull knife, it can slip and make a nasty cut. (The worst cut I ever saw was with a knife too dull to cut wax. It had no edge, but made a nasty, torn gash. The user was forcing the dull edge through wax and got injured.) So keep your knives sharp and in a block and use them with respect. This sharpener will certainly help you do that.
It does the job just fine December 8, 2000

I have had this sharpener for several years and am quite satisfied with it. When you sharpen your knives for the first time, it takes many repetitions with both wheels, but you get a very sharp edge. After setting up your knives with the first sharpening, you'll find it fairly easy and quick to resharpen every few months. I'd recommend it if you want to get good sharp edges but don't want to spend the extra $ for the top of the line sharpeners.
 Waste of time and money September 14, 2000

I spent 45 minutes with this thing after reading the instructions twice. Now I'm not stupid, I'm 45 and a handyman. The first four knives I got fairly sharp (except the ends which this thing will never be able to sharpen) and after that it never sharpened another knife no matter how many times I drew the blade through the grooves. Its noisy, and just doesn't get the job done. If a Chef actually tried to use this to sharpen his knives they'd fire him for wasting time. My recommendation is to try something else because this just doesn't cut it. I'm returning it ASAP!
