Chef'sChoice Knife Sharpener

Yes, this unit is designed to accommodate serrated edges. The flexible polishing discs are specifically engineered to hone the serrations without grinding down the teeth, maintaining the blade's original cutting profile.

No manual adjustment is required. The sharpener features automated guide slots that automatically position your blade at the correct angle, ensuring consistent results regardless of the knife type.

While this model is excellent for standard kitchen and outdoor cutlery, it uses diamond abrasives that may be too aggressive for very thin, brittle Japanese steel. If you own high-end Japanese knives with a specific 15-degree edge, check your knife manufacturer's recommendations before using an electric sharpener.

For a standard kitchen knife that has lost its edge, you can expect a full restoration to professional sharpness in about one minute. Quick touch-ups for blades that are still relatively sharp take even less time.

No, this is a dry sharpening system. The diamond abrasives and polishing discs are designed to work effectively without the need for lubricants, making the process cleaner and easier to manage on your countertop.
