Knife sharpening machine that sharpens in 3 steps. Uses diamond metal discs for Step 1 and Step 2, and a special polishing disk for Step 3

The **Chef'sChoice Model 120** is a professional electric sharpener.
The machine has several stages. The first two stages have diamond metal discs and stage three has a special honing/polishing disc. With this machine, you can produce a really sharp edge on your normal and serrated knives in a short space of time. Its special resilient blade guides automatically ensure the correct sharpening angle, so guesswork is a thing of the past.


### Extra product information:


The Chef'sChoice model 120 knife sharpener is a specially designed precision device that will sharpen your valuable knives correctly and will also last a long time. The machine works significantly better than a normal honing steel or loose sharpening stones. An average household has an average of ten knives, and the services of a professional sharpening service can be quite expensive.
Unnamed electric knife sharpeners often do more harm than good, and can even dull or, worse, destroy your knives. Chef'sChoice machines are the only electric knife sharpeners recommended by sharpening specialists as well as leading professional chefs.




* The Model 120 safely sharpens both expensive and inexpensive knives, and has no problem handling even the hardest alloys.
  
  

* Stage 1 creates the correct sharpening angle, stage 2 refines the edge, and stage 3 polishes the edge. Although the ultra-fine, flexible disc in this last step removes very little material, this is the most important step in achieving the actual sharpness.

* Once you use a Chef'sChoice, you'll no longer need a honing steel, because the lack of any kind of guidance on a honing steel will actually make the new super-fine edge blunter rather than sharper.

* The sharpening discs will last for a very long time under normal household use, but should they become worn out after many years of service, they can be replaced. Some technical understanding is required to replace the sharpening discs. If you can't replace the discs yourself, you can send the machine to Chef'sChoice. They will fit the new sharpening discs, thereby safeguarding the quality of the machine. 

* The special honing/polishing discs in step 3 can be cleaned if they become dirty after a while and you find that their polishing effect has diminished.  

There is a special switch on the rear of the machine for this purpose.

* The Model 120 is designed to sharpen both normal and serrated knives.

* The Model 120 doesn't sharpen scissors - you need the 500 model for this.

* This Model 120 also sharpens folding and hunting knives, provided their blades fit snugly into the recesses in the machine.

* If your knives are truly blunt, sharpen them according to the instructions in the manual.

* The model 120 is very easy to use: after switching on the machine, all you have to do is pull the knives slowly through the slots. The special built-in plastic springs keep the blade pressed against the guides so that you always maintain the correct sharpening angle without having to guess.

The Model 120 is designed to sharpen both normal and serrated knives.
The machine realigns the serrations and sharpens the points in Step 3.
Tip: A knife with a normal edge that has been sharpened on the Model 120 will cut a tomato or a sandwich much more neatly than a serrated knife.


The Model 120 doesn't sharpen scissors - you need the 500 model for this.
It also uses diamond sharpening discs and similar technology, but positions them at a different angle, so it can sharpen a very sharp edge on a variety of scissors.


This Model 120 also sharpens folding and hunting knives, provided their blades fit snugly into the recesses in the machine.


If your knives are truly blunt, sharpen them according to the instructions in the manual.
In addition, you can use Step 3 on its own to maintain sharp knives, when they're not yet really dull, but are lacking their true sharpness.


The model 120 is very easy to use: after switching on the machine, all you have to do is pull the knives slowly through the slots. The special built-in plastic springs keep the blade pressed against the guides so that you always maintain the correct sharpening angle without having to guess.
