Chef's Choice 0250100 Knife Sharpener, Diamond Hone, 3 Stage, White

3-Stage sharpening and our advanced Hybrid® technology are combined in this compact, easy to use sharpener that features both electric and manual stages and 100% diamond abrasives to quickly apply a super sharp, arch shaped edge.

Ideal for all quality knives including fine edge and serrated, kitchen and household as well as sports and pocket knives, the M250 creates a triple bevel edge using three successive stages. The first and second stages are electric and use 100% diamond abrasives for shaping and sharpening the first two edge bevels. Stage 3 hones and polishes the third bevel using ultra fine diamonds for a razor sharp, arch-shaped, professional edge that is stronger and more durable than conventional V-shaped or hollow ground edges. Since it is the manual stage, Stage 3 can be used anytime, and anywhere without power! It also sharpens serrated edges.

FAQ's:

• The price of the Chef'sChoice® Model 310 is high, why should I pay so much for this sharpener?
• Chef'sChoice® sharpeners are precision machines designed to deliver unsurpassed sharpening satisfaction and manufactured to last a long, long time. They will do a much better job of sharpening than a steel (cost $30-$40), stones (cost $30-$70) or professional sharpening services. (The average home has about 10 knives and professional sharpening services can charge $10.00 per knife). Chef'sChoice® sharpeners are the only electric knife sharpeners recommended by cutlery experts and leading professional chefs for sharpening quality cutlery. They are the best sharpeners on the market.
  Less expensive sharpeners do not work, can harm knives or leave dull knives. The Model 310 incorporates 100% diamond abrasives in all three sharpening stages to create the unique, patented Trizor® edge. There is no sharpener that will do as fine a job as a Chef'sChoice.

The abrasives, however, should last a long time with normal household use.
