Chef'sChoice 1520 Angle Select Knife Sharpener

Yes. The 1520 model is specifically designed with two distinct sharpening stages to accommodate the 15-degree angle typical of Asian-style knives and the 20-degree angle common for German-style blades.

Absolutely. The third stage of the sharpener is designed to hone serrated blades, effectively realigning the teeth without damaging the edge geometry.

The first two stages use diamond abrasives to sharpen the blade at either a 15-degree or 20-degree angle depending on your knife type. The third stage uses a flexible polishing disk to refine the edge and remove any remaining burrs for a razor-sharp finish.

Yes, this model is compatible with single-bevel blades. It provides the precision necessary to maintain the unique edge profile required for these specialized knives.

The brushed stainless steel housing is very low-maintenance. You can simply wipe it down with a damp cloth to remove any metal dust or kitchen residue after use.

Because it uses a guided system with diamond abrasives, it removes only a microscopic amount of metal to restore the edge. It is much more conservative than manual sharpening stones or pull-through sharpeners that can cause uneven wear.
