The Chef’s Choice 1520 Angle Select professional electric knife sharpener is the ideal solution for both 15 and 20-degree class knives. Using 100 percent diamonds, the hardest natural substance on earth, our patented abrasives sharpen edges faster and easier. This sharpener improves cutting performance by creating 2 distinct facets set at different angles that form a sharp, longer lasting, arch-sharped edge. The first stage sharpens 15-degree straight edge knives, while the second stage sharpens 20-degree straight edge knives. In the final stage, patented stropping disks create an unparalleled polished finish to both 15-degree & 20-degree knives. Precision angle guides ensure accurate sharpening throughout the entire blade length and eliminate any guesswork. This unit is designed to work with both straight-edge and serrated knives.
