Chefs Choice Sharpeners

[BJones]

I would like opinions on these type of knife sharpeners. I saw an article in Tactical Knives magazine that says they are pretty good.

Amazon.com: Chef's Choice 250 Diamond Hone Hybrid Knife Sharpener, White: Kitchen & Dining

Thanks for your thoughts.

The do a decent job for those who are NOT knife aficionados. What they lack are those final touch ups that make an edge go from good to superb. I use one on a few knives I have that only need to be good. The same with the Accu-sharp. The Accu-sharp is nice to have for quick touch ups when butchering or when you are using a knife and need to touch up often.

How thick of a knife blade can it handle? Those slots look kind of narrow for a 1/4" thick blade (some of my knives are that thick).

Ive got one, don't use it since I got my Wicked Edge. They put an edge on blade for sure, but its not really smooth or polished. May be good for quick touch up on inexpensive kitchen knives, Im really thinking of selling mine
