Product Description
The newest breakthrough in sharpening technology, the 130, presents most of your sharpening options in one compact appliance. It professionally sharpens, steels or strops most brands and types of knives; straight edge or serrated, kitchen, sports and pocket knives in seconds. Three stages make it possible to obtain a “better than factory” edge quickly and effortlessly. Stage 1, using 100% diamond abrasives, sharpens the edge. Stage 2 is a super-hardened miniature steel that develops a shaving sharp edge with ultra-sharp microscopic teeth, providing a superior edge “bite”. In stage 3, a revolutionary flexible stropping disk polishes the edge to hair-splitting sharpness. Using these stages in different combinations produces custom edges, suited to a particular cutting task. Built-in, high precision, user friendly elastomeric angle guides guarantee fool-proof sharpening. Assembled in the U.S.A. Limited 3 year warranty. UL approved

I am an Executive Chef and have worked in a kitchen for over 25 years. I purchased this sharpener about a month ago and so far I am very satisfied. If you read the manual, it is very easy to use. I was at first worried about taking too much metal off of my kinves. As long as you don’t over use the first stage that should not be a problem.
It put a good edge on my knives quickly and easily. I have a 10 inch wusthof that is my main kitchen knife. I put an edge on it with stage 1 over a month ago and it has remanined very sharp since. All you have to do is run it through stage 2 ( which is just like a steel) every once and a while and it maintains it’s sharpness.
So far I am very satisfied.
We got the platinum model about three years ago, and it sharpened long-dull knives nicely. I eventually threw the receipt away. A few months ago, the blades didn’t turn anymore. I sent it Edgecraft, and asked for a quote to repair it. They sent it back about a month later, repaired at no cost. Nice! Now it sharpens again nicely, and I don’t have to landfill yet another impossible-to-repair small appliance.
I love this knife sharpener! It helps keep my knives with a great edge, and since I do lots of slicing, cutting, de-boning, paring and chopping in my kitchen on a daily basis it really helps to have knives in good shape. So much easier and quicker than using the hand held sharpeners. this is a must have for a busy kitchen.
