“ I had a Chef's Choice 130 electric sharpener for several years and bought the Smith's Adjustable Edge Pro Electric Knife Sharpener (SAEP) several months ago because it allowed you to manually adjust the sharpening angle for the style of the knife you wanted to sharpen (chef's, santoku, paring, utility, boning, fillet, pocket knife, hunting/outdoor knife, etc). The owners/user manual lists...” --JimA

“ I've owned a couple of Chef's Choice Sharpeners over the years. I used to schlepp them with me when I taught cooking and knife skills classes (for charity). And even though I learned to sharpen my knives on bench stones more than forty years ago, and still use them as my primary sharpening system, for more than a year -- when between bench stone kits -- I used a model 110 as my primary...” --boar_d_laze

It was very reasonably priced, restored the edge perfectly and effortlessly. As you would with a...” --kaneohegirlinaz
“I've only sharpened a couple of knives with this sharpener thus far, but have been satisfied with the results. I have a block set of inexpensive knives that never have been sharp enough. This particular knife design has a wider edge at the back of the heel, which doesn't work well with this sharpener, but I am able to sharpen all but the last inch or so near the heel. With knives that don't...” --gobblygook
“ It is a great steel for use with all your knives. Its length is longer than most standard steels that come with your kitchen box sets. This might make storage a little harder. Again, it will work great on honing all of your kitchen knives. The main draw back is only its generic plastic handle. You don't need and shouldn't expect some sort of impressive handles on steels, but if I had to...” --BenRias
“The Edgeware, Edge Grip 2-Stage Knife Sharpener, is designed and manufactured by Smith's--a leading sharpener manufacturer. The Edge Grip works on a flat surface, but was designed to be placed on the edge of a table, or any other square edge. This stabilizes the unit while sharpening. Carbide blades and crossed ceramic rods feature pre-set sharpening angles that provide the proper quick...” --madcowcutlery
There are few things in the kitchen that we rely upon more than our cutlery. Whether we’re preparing or serving. Whether it’s a late night cheese snack, mom’s favorite stir-fry or carving the thanksgiving turkey, our cutlery must perform well. Low quality knives dull easily, strain our wrists, endanger our hands and fingers and make preparing and serving an unpleasant chore....
