Editorial Review

This tenderizer not only hastens the cooking and marinating time of meats, fish, and poultry, it also significantly improves the flavor and texture of gamier meats such as venison or pheasant. In addition, the tenderizing process reduces shrinkage during cooking, so meat retains much of its original, pre-cooked size. 48, razor-sharp, stainless-steel prongs aligned in three rows of 16 blades each; pierce any cut of meat--including entire roasts, chickens, or turkeys. This tool can be used to prep food for any cooking method, whether it be grilling, baking, braising, broiling, or roasting. A rectangular-shaped, plastic handle and plastic cover safely contain the tool’s super-sharp blades during storage. For easy cleanup and hygienic safety, the tenderizer is dishwasher-safe. Deni’s parent company, Keystone Manufacturing Company, provides a two-year, limited warranty on this product. Read more

Great Product
I must admit. I was a little skeptical about what kind of quality I was going to get by spending over $20 for this thing. The quality far exceeded my expectaions, as it is a hefty, sturdy, well made product. It works well.

Tender at LAST!
I'm blown away! With 48 blades, this product really does the job quickly and quietly.No more BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! echoing off the walls which only produced a flat but still tough piece of meat.I'd gladly pay twice the cost for the Deni because it works!It's very sturdy, very sharp and easy to clean in the DW.I'm using cheaper cuts of meat sucessfully in recipes I had stored away because of toughness or price.Marinating is faster and more effective, cooking time can be reduced.Keep it away from kids.Protect your countertop.The best kitchen gadget I ever bought!!!

Excellent item, but.....
I use the tenderizer every time I grill meat.It really works like a charm.And you get a li'l work out in too.The only drawback is cleaning.I seem to remember reading that it is easy as tossing into dishwasher.Well, youwill find small pieces of meat stuck between the blades.Be careful with this since it is raw meat.It is easily disassenbled to be further cleaned.Or just use an old toothbrush to dislodge meat.Oh yeah.Blades are REALLY sharp.Be careful. ...

All kitchen and sporting knives, whether professional quality or inexpensive, need a blade tune-up now and then. This electric sharpener produces razor-sharp edges using the same rapidly rotating Sapphirite grinding wheels used by professional shops. A two-stage system allows knives to be ground and sharpened on the Stage 1 half of the machine, and then honed on the Stage 2 half. Blade guides hold the knife at the ideal sharpening angle for each side of the blade, as it is drawn slowly towards the user and kept parallel to the countertop. The sharpener is suitable for knives made of alloy, carbon, or stainless steel; it is perfectly normal for sparks to fly when knives of high carbon steel come in contact with the Sapphirite wheels. Non-electric serrated knives that are only serrated on one side can also be sharpened with this machine. Three suction cups on the bottom hold the sharpener securely on a table or countertop, and two receptacles underneath catch metal filings for disposal. The sharpener measures 8-1/4 by 5-3/4 by 4 inches, and is covered by a two-year warranty against defects. Read more

Features

• Electric sharpener produces razor-sharp knives in just minutes
• Uses professional grade sapphirite sharpening wheels
• Blade guides automatically hold knife at the ideal angle
• 2-stage system sharpens, then hones blades
• 8-1/4 by 5-3/4 by 4 inches; 2-year warranty

Dull
Well, I go by alot of reviews on Amazon here, but I disagree with the ones here now, maybe I bougth the lemon, I've had this for a couple of years and have never had a good sharp edge on my knives, I am sure both wheels are the same grit and the the sharpening looks the same on both wheels, I've gone back to using my file to sharpen and in 20 to 30 seconds I can sharpen my knives with a razor edge where this machine only takes the flat spots off.

Great Knife Sharpener
This sharpener puts a razor edge on knives. I had a draw of dull knives that I was going to throw out. After using this sharpener, these old dull knives are better than new.

Impressive
What a great tool.I've tried sharpening using a steel, and I find I don't have the talent to do it well.I've bought other sharpeners, like the Mouse magnet and the ones on the backs of can openers, but this sharpener is the best of them all.

Editorial Review

It may seem like a contradiction, but sharp knives are the safest. With a clean edge, a knife is more predictable and easier to control. If you've purchased a top-of-the-line knife, maintaining the quality of the blade ensures maximum value from your investment. This Chef's Choice knife sharpener performs professional-quality sharpening on any knife, from gourmet knives to hunting knives--even serrated knives can be sharpened with this machine. For top-quality edges, there are two sharpening and honing stages, which use 100 percent diamond abrasives, and a final polishing stage. Each stage uses precision angle guides to create a unique Trizor-Plus edge for maximum sharpness and durability, while a magnetic pad collects residue so the machine is easy to clean and maintain. While a sharp knife is indeed a safe knife, it's wise to use caution with your newly sharpened knives, as they'll be sharper than you expect. Read more

Features

• Three-stage precision sharpening
• Works for gourmet chef's knives, butcher knives, sporting knives, serrated knives
• 100 percent diamond abrasive will never detemper
• Unique Trizor-Plus edge provides greater sharpness and durability
• Three-year household warranty

Sharp but not cutting edge...
I was expecting to create a knife edge that I could shave with. Well, maybe not that sharp, but sharp enough to cut a piece of paper like butter. Maybe I've seen too many movies. Anyway, the sharpener is easy to use but the full verdict is not out yet. Thus far, thus good.

Sharp enought to shave
An excellent product.The directions are clear and simple and following them results in a very, very sharp knife in just a few seconds.I have been sharpening knives for all my friends and relatives.The results couldn't be better

Super Sharpener
Just as advertised!This sharpener is great!Knives that were very dull now slide right through anything being sliced! Sorry I waited so long to get this sharpener! The price held me back- but it's worth every penny! ... Read more

Editorial Review

A smart innovation from Furi, the TechEdge professional knife sharpening system is a high-speed, manual way to restore keen edges to straight-blade kitchen knives. Intended for the busy chef or serious home cook, the system takes knives through three stages--reshaping, coarse honing, and fine honing--in a series of simple steps. The Edge Restorer works first, using two tungsten carbide cutters to restore new angles to a rounded edge. The cutters adjust easily for different cutting edge angles and are much faster and more accurate than a stone. The second phase uses the Diamond Fingers Sharpener, a set of six stainless-steel spring fingers that are bonded with 450-grit crushed industrial diamonds. More exact and consistent than a steel, the fingers automatically set correct cutting angles and create a fine micro-serration that is perfect for most kitchen knives. Extra-fine cutting knives, like those used for filleting and boning, get a final honing from the Tech Hone Fingers, a device similar to the Diamond Fingers but with a coarse striated surface that creates a fine finish. All three sharpening pieces fit snugly into the Tech Edge base, which has a long handle and a wire safety guard to protect fingers and hands. The base folds flat to fit into the included snap-shut carrying along with all the other parts of the system for tidy transport. Furi also includes a generous 25-year warranty. Read more

Features

• 3-step manual system for restoring keen edges to straight-blade knives
• Designed for the professional chef or dedicated home cook
• Includes tools for reshaping, coarse honing, and fine honing
• Ergonomic and finger-safe handle design assembles in a few seconds
• Includes wire safety guard and snap-shut carrying case

Furi Ease
I found the Furi Pro Knife system to be a little intimidating when I first removed it from the box. However, I took the time to watch the included 'Rachel demo video' which showed how extremely easy it was to use. Not only was it easy, but it really does work. Knives I've had for ages were given new life, as well as my Furi knives which was my initial reason for purchase. I wish it came with a better case to store it in though, I don't foresee it lasting too long.

Excellent knife sharpener!
I bought the Furi knife sharpener to keep my Furi 7-Inch Gusto Grip knife sharp.I also used it on my old knives and what a positive difference it made!Even my cheapo knives are sharp.I used to use one of those electric sharpeners that you pull the knife through but always got poor to mediocre results.The Furi sharpener is so easy to use and does a great job every time I've used it.I'm very pleased with this purchase!

Furi Pro Knife Sharpener
I am a confirmed sharp knife-aloholic and have experimented with nearly every tool to keep a razor sharp edge on all the knives in my collection. The things I look for in a sharpener in order of priority are:

This electric sharpener is so simple to use that knivespractically sharpen themselves. It puts a professional-style edge onany kitchen or sporting knife (except serrated knives). Becausemagnetic guides hold a blade at the proper angles, no guesswork isinvolved. You simply grip your knife loosely and pull it lightlythrough the sharpener's slots without pressing down. Key to this knifesharpener's performance is the two different stages: the sharpeningstage and the second honing stage, which polishes the blade to a razoredge. Those two stages create different bevels, putting a "shoulder" onan edge instead of sharpening with a single bevel. The shoulderstrengthens the edge so it lasts longer. For each stage there is a pairof slots, and the slots use 100 percent diamond abrasives for hardness.The sharpener measures 7 inches long, 4-1/4 inches high, and 3-3/4inches deep and carries a two-year warranty against defects.

Features

• 100 percent diamond abrasives sharpen carbon and stainless-steel knives
• First stage sharpens blade, second hones razor edge
• Magnetic guides hold blade at proper angles; no need to press down
• Double-bevel edge is sharper and lasts longer than factory or professional edges
• 1-year warranty against defects

Complex sharpener
This sharpener does not do the job as easily as stated by the info on the site. It takes to long to sharpen the knives.Matter of fact I still have not been able to put a razor sharp blade on any of my knives.I would not purchase this sharpener.

Amazing results in a short time
I bought this at Target and didn't expect much.To my surprise the first knives I sharpened cut like butter through a thick orange peel right away. I did four more knives in succession, each one really dull, and they now are like new. I highly recommend this. It really beats the cheap, hand-held variety, especially if you have a drawer-full of old knives that need sharpening.

Just take your time
It took a little longer than the directions said it would, but this sharpener got my kitchen knives very sharp.I would recommend it.

Hated it, threw it away and learned how to use real hones
Get a couple of good hones instead and learn to use them. I got one of these a couple of years ago. I figured I would now enter "easy sharp knife heaven", but it ruined all my knives. They are sharp, but only kind of sharp. It ground the bevels to flat and I never managed to get anything that was remotely razor sharp, and trust me, I have tried. Anyhone who says razor sharp, doesn't really mean razor razor sharp or may never have seen a really sharp knife. If it isn't as sharp as that scalpel you used in biology class, it is not razor sharp.
A must for every kitchen - you can't cook with dull knives
This little 'gadget' will transmogrify the dullest, bluntest knives in your drawer into razor sharp slicers and dicers. I didn't believe it really could; I bought it because I was ready to try anything cleaner than oil and stones - even my diamond hone could not refurbish abused blades to my satisfaction.
my own fault... for not shopping around
it is easier to take things back to a local retailerif you think something is wrong with a product.i believe the sharpener wheels are misalignedso the knives are being unevenly sharpened.it does take off metal.i'm going to do more practicingand not on my top of the line knives.

A little expensive, but man does it make knives sharp!
I was a little nervous about spending this much on a sharpener. Now that I have had it a few days I wish I had bought it sooner. If you understand the basics of sharpening this tool is VERY easy to use. If not, it might take a little practice to get the hang of it.
***Wasted Money/ UPDATE***
May 27 Update:
It Really Works!
I took my knives to Chesapeake Knife & Tool to have them sharpened and they destroyed the edge. I saw that Cooks Illustrated recommended Chef's Choice sharpeners and decided to give it a try. It took about an hour but I was able to restore the edge and now my knives are just like new. ... Read more

the middle road
After reading many of the reviews for the Chef's Choice 120, I learned that the type of people that review knife sharpeners fall into two basic categories:home cooks that do not take good care of their knives and knife enthusiasts.The first group tended to think that the sharpener had worked magic on their cutlery and the second group was unimpressed.None of the reviews were geared towards the category of people that I fall into: home cooks that do take care of their knives, but are not fanatics about sharpness.Would one of these machines sharpen my knives enough for me to be able to chop meat and vegetables with ease and be able make delicate cuts as well?

Editorial Review

This home scissor sharpener adds a professional-level edge to a wide variety of scissors from household and sewing scissors, to kitchen shears, to fly-tying scissors without requiring the user to disassemble the blades. The freestanding ScissorPro features two sharpening slots, each containing a curved disc coated with diamond abrasives. One disc offers a fine grind to form a razor-sharp edge during the first stage of sharpening and the other a coarse grind to hone or sharpen at a wider angle and add the finishing touches. A patented construction of magnets and plastic springs that the manufacturer calls Magne-Flex technology align scissor blades in the guides at the correct angle and provide the right amount of pressure and stability for sharpening. Since diamonds are the only element strong enough to truly sharpen and hone a blade, this tool produces long-lasting results, even on double-beveled blades. Plus, the rotating motion of the discs ensures high-quality scissors won’t distemper. Included instructions teach how to properly move scissor blades through the slots for safe, optimum sharpening results. The ScissorPro sharpener plugs into any AC outlet, and is covered by a one-year limited warranty. Read more

Features

• Professional 2-step process sharpens scissors without requiring disassembly
• Diamond abrasives on conical disc sharpen and hone blades quickly and easily
• Patented Magna-Flex technology combines magnets and springs to control angle, apply correct pressure and stabilization
• Fine disc develops incredibly sharp edge; coarse disc reconditions damaged edges
• Works on household, sewing, fly-tying scissors; kitchen shears

sharpen your scissors instead of buying new ones
All those dull old scissors I collected over the years, as they gradually lost their edge, are now SHARP.I stumbled across this product while looking for a knife sharpener.Since I was about to buy yet another pair of scissors, I decided to try it.It really put a good edge on all my shears (except pinking, nail and hair - which it does not sharpen).You have to be somewhat careful holding the blade at the correct angle, as there is a bit of wiggle room under the guide.One practice run with a cheap pair of scissors should suffice, however, and it is wonderful to have really sharp scissors again.Lots of them! ...

Finally Sharp!
I've been limping along with a manual ceramic sharpener and never could get a decent edge on my knives. It's been so long I'd forgotten how good a really sharp knife is. The Chef's Chocie sharpener got my blades back to ultra sharp like new condition! I'm having to relearn how to respect sharp knives again. (oh my bleeding fingers) It was definitely worth getting the more expensive model. BTW, most of the reviews (53 so far) are under the white model. I just like red better. :-)

Chef's choice sharpener
Sharpener seems to work OK, but not really as good as I had expected. I'm not used to electric sharpeners so maybe it works better than most, I don't know. It seems to be good enough for the quick edge in the kitchen, but for a really fine edge, I stick with my Lanskey hand sharpener. ... Read more

100W Diamond Hone Knife Sharpener
Useful, does sharpen..while instructions are simple enough it takes a little patience, knives have to be drawn through slowly.. does scar blades, seems to handle larger knives better than smaller..
OK for miscellaneous knives, not for the GOOD stuff!
I also have to echo the comments of other reviewers when saying if you have inexpensive, common cutlery this sharpener will work OK.If you have Chef's Quality cutlery don't bring it near this machine.It leaves a rough edge no matter which stone you use and simply isn't meant for good quality knives.If you paid a couple of hundred dollars or more for your set of kitchen knives, get them professionally sharpened.If you have run-of-the-mill cutlery this machine will do OK.

Keep in mind the price and purpose of this product...
Considering the price and results of this product it is a bargain. Yes, it is not for the person who considers their knives collector items to impress friends or those who plan to use their knives for cutting paper thin slices of veggies for the microscope...but it does put a good edge on a commonly used knife and does so quickly and accurately.The suction feet really keep this in place.I recommend it to anyone who cares to have a good edge on a knife and does not care if there is a slight mark a 1/4" up...I saw this as well.If you want something much better for those expensive knives then go for the over $100 units here at amazon! ...

When your favorite knives start squishing ripe tomatoes instead of slicingthem, it's time to sharpen your blades. This knife sharpener is remarkably easy to use onboth straight-edge and serrated knives. Simply plug it in, turn it on, and feed knife bladesthrough the stages. The first sharpening stage uses 100 percent diamond abrasive disks to hone the knife's edge while the second stage incorporates polymer disks to polish and strop the edge to hairsplitting sharpness.Straight-edge knives should go through both stages, while serrated blades should only beused in the polishing stage.Read more
