After reading the glowing comments from Cook’s Illustrated about this model, as well as the great reviews at Amazon, I was certain that I’d ordered the best electric sharpener on the market. But after only two strokes in the #1 slot, it made several long scratches on both sides of my 8″ Wusthof Chef’s Knife running from heel to tip.

Although the scratches are only cosmetic, I find it completely unacceptable that the only way it can sharpen is to simultaneously scratch up the sides of your knife as you’re drawing it through the machine. I ordered a new knife (cost, $110. 00) to replace the one that got scratched. Thanks a lot Chef’s Choice!

The Chef’s Choice M130 Professional Knife-Sharpening Station is probably not worth even 13 cents and it certainly is NOT worth $130. 00. Don’t waste your money on this over-hyped and worthless product. Most of the positive reviews are from employees of the company. It is cheaply built, noisy, and DOES NOT WORK. Anyone who gives this product a rating above over-priced junk is obviously being paid to do so.

this product just does not do what it was intended to do as well as the cost should make it do.

i am certainly not happy with the outcome.

I’ve been a tool maker for 50 years.
Thought this woud make sharpening easier and better.
Wrong! Silliest 130 bucks I ever spent. Item is, in my oonion, worth nothing. Can’t even do a pocket knife.
