Product Description
Product Description
The 316 Asian Knife Sharpener is unique in that it is designed to sharpen Asian Knives with a 15 Deg blade angle. It will work effectively on double edged knives eg Santoku, single edged knives eg Sashimi and thicker balded knives eg Deba. The advanced spring precision angle guides ensure the perfect sharpening of all Asian knives. 100% diamond abrasive throughout guarantees against the detempering (softening) of blades as no heat is generated and prevents burring.
Product Description
This new sharpener is designed to put a factory sharp, precision edge on all contemporary Asian style knives, Chinese style cleavers and the thinner, traditional single-bevel or double bevel style Japanese blades

Perfect sharpening made easy,

This review is from: Chef's Choice 316 Asian Electric Knife Sharpener (Kitchen & Home)
There's not really a lot to say. What's the point of having brilliant blades costing £100s of pounds and then ruining them with a bad sharpener? This products will resharpen blunted knives, though it might take a bit of a while to do this for a really badly abused knife. When resharpened, we find that with decent Japanese knives, used regularly, we need to re-sharpen about once every two months or so, and hone once a week to keep a perfect cutting edge.Although it's designed for "Asian" (ie Japanese) profiled knives, because with their harder steel, they can be sharpened to 15 degrees on each side, it can perfectly well re-profile and sharpen the more obtuse angled western knives (normally sharpened to 20 degrees. However if the steel isn't good enough to take it, they will need more frequent re-sharpening. In fact Chef's choice also make sharpeners for 20degree knives and even multi-angled sharpeners, though these are a lot more expensive. The really impressive thing about this tool is that it is so quick and easy to use, when used to maintain an edge on sharp sian knives. A couple of strokes once a week and the knife is like new again. WELL worth the cost, which is more or less comparable with that of one decent Japanese knife.

Good concept, poor execution,
By Ken Iisaka "kiisaka" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Chef's Choice 316 Asian Electric Knife Sharpener (Kitchen & Home)
The secret to ultra sharp Asian knives is out, and I was thrilled to see a model that gives you a 15-degree bevel.However, the grit for the finer disc is still plain too coarse. To get the razor-sharp result, you need the polishing disc to be in the range of 4000-6000 grit. It seems like the disc is only about 1000 grit, which I consider to be medium. This concept would be far better executed if it would have three discs: coarse disc for getting the chips out, then a 1000-grit disc at 10-15 degrees for sharpening and a 4000-6000 grit at 15-17.5 degrees for final sharpening. 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful:

Amazing Sharpener,
By Sylva M. Smith "wantsagoodbook" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Chef's Choice 316 Asian Electric Knife Sharpener (Kitchen & Home)
I bought this as a Christmas present for my son who is a chef. He's used it hard for the past year and a half and it is still sharpening all his knives (and mine) to make them like new. He has all different types and sizes and this one sharpener does them all. Even his ceramic ones. I hesitated at the price at first, but it has paid for itself many times over. The price of good knives today make this product invaluable.
