Product Description
Create an incredibly like-new sharp edge with this electric multi-stage knife sharpener. Safe for use with high-quality knives, the unit can restore a 15-degree edge for Asian-style knives and a 20-degree edge for European- and American-style knives. It can also sharpen fine-edge or serrated blades, sports knives, pocket knives, and Santoku and traditional Japanese-style single-bevel edges, including the thicker Deba-style blades, as well as double-bevel blades. Its three-stage system produces a perfect edge. Precise knife guides automatically position the knife for foolproof operation, while 100-percent diamond abrasives and patented flexible stropping and polishing discs sharpen, hone, and deliver a microscopically polished edge. Other highlights include a simple on/off switch, stabilizing feet, and durable construction.

I read through the directions and found out how to check whether the knife is sharpened by feeling for the burr. I never saw that in the original instructions and always had to guess. The burr really works! I have a very nice set of knives and now an upgraded sharpener. If the longevity of this one is as good as the original, it will probably outlive me!
This sharpener really didn't make my blades ugly. Yes, it put a few light scratches on the right side of some blades. However, the paper I used to test the sharpness after using the product definitely did not survive. I have some excellent and beautiful knives. All 9 of the blades I sharpened on day 1 were at least razor sharp, including my single-bevel yanagiba. I was a bit concerned, because this was one of VERY few electric sharpeners available for Asian style blades. I definitely didn't have to settle. I really like this tool. While a wet stone is the traditional and "proper" way to sharpen Asian knives, this tool reduces the possibility for human error and enabled me to sharpen those 9 blades in about the time it would have taken me to do 1 or 2 on my stone. I would highly recommend it.
The 1520 worked wonders on the knives that I sharpened. Took about 30 minutes for 8 knives (after I had read through the instruction manual). I started out by trying to cut a piece of printer/copier paper - the Global G-46 knife which is about a year old and the massive Lamson-Goodnow knife were able to cut the paper. I also used a plum (no tomatoes). Only the G-46 was able to cut the thinnest slice off the plum. A couple of others could cut thicker slices and some couldn't cut through a plum without crushing it significantly! The goal with a very sharp knife is to get me a slice off a plum (or tomato) that is thinner than a sheet of paper. At the end of this first foray into knife sharpening every single knife I sharpened with the 1520 could cut the perfect slice off a plum.
A very good product with a minor issue! More about this at the bottom
The device is "assembled in U.S.A". Not sure if that is a euphemism for packaged in a box here in the states! Comes with a 3 year warranty
A couple of provisos: you CANNOT sharpen ceramic knives or scissors with this.
The instruction manual is well written and lucid - a rarity in our age. It may be available on their website (can't link to one for you - amazon deletes the link!).
There are six grooves, in three groups, that are available for sharpening knives. The first group is for Asian knives (like the Global G-46). The second is for American and European knives. The last group is for the final honing and polishing after you are done with group 1 or group 2.
Each group has two grooves. Think of each groove as a v shaped piece of plastic you put your knife into and pull through. Most knives have a left side of the blade and a right side. You alternate between the groove, first pulling through the left groove and then the right, within each group.
I took the Chicago cutlery knife (mentioned earlier) and decided to try and convert it into an Asian blade (If you look at a knife as you are cutting something, the very top of the blade is blunt and thick, the sharp edge forms the bottom and tapers. The taper is 15 degrees for most Asian knives. American and European knives have a 20 degree taper. Asian blades tend to be sharper but thinner because of the difference in the taper.) In about 5 minutes it was razor sharp and now had the 15 degree taper. I was frankly very surprised that I got the perfect edge where none had existed for over 14 years.
A negative: The grooves are plastic and I found that by the time the knives were on the honing wheel they were cutting into the plastic that forms the wall of the grooves. The actual sharpening occurs in the valley of the groove and there is no plastic there. Still I had to be careful when inserting the knives into the grooves so as not to keep cutting the plastic as I pulled it through.
You may want to do a search for Chef's choice 115 as well - not sure if it offers the two different knife type options (Asian & European).

Attendez vous pas à être capable d’affûter des lame de mauvaise qualité. Peut importe l’affûteur, si votre lame est « cheap », vous arriverez à rien.
En ce qui le concerne, je suis capable de me raser le poils de bras une fois affûter
Sometimes, the positioning of the blade on the stone is not always clear but once you get used to the sharpening motion, it is very smooth!
