Chef'sChoice Sharpening Station

Yes, the Chef’s Choice 130 is designed to handle straight-edge knives, serrated blades, and scissors. Its three-stage system allows you to maintain the specific edge geometry required for each type.

No, this unit operates completely dry. It uses diamond-fused disks and flexible abrasive disks to sharpen and polish without the need for messy lubricants or cooling agents.

Each stage serves a specific function: Stage 1 uses diamond abrasives for initial sharpening, Stage 2 features a steeling rod to realign the blade edge, and Stage 3 uses flexible disks to polish the edge for a refined finish.

No, the device features patented built-in guide systems that automatically hold your knife at the precise 20-degree angle. This ensures consistent results without the need for manual clamping or guesswork.

While it is versatile, the 20-degree angle is standard for most Western-style knives. If your Japanese knives are ground to a much steeper, thinner angle, this sharpener may alter that geometry over time.

Yes, the Model 130 is built with durable materials and a powerful motor designed to withstand the demands of both home kitchens and professional culinary environments.
