 Simple operation, very good results May 30, 2009
I have a small collection of not very expensive knives ... chef knife, slicer, boning knife, santoku knife, assorted paring knives. Before each use, they get treated to a few strokes with a sharpening steel. Always thought they were pretty sharp.
The difference after being sharpened on the 310 was very significant. The test was slicing tomatoes thinly and they all worked much better than before.
Operation is simple. Felt slightly awkward on the 1st knife, but you get the feel of it pretty quickly, and once you do, the process goes very smoothly.
With a product like this, who needs to spend a fortune on knives? Some time ago I bought a KitchenAid santoku knife at Walmart for ... I'm going to say ... $15. First use was a disappointment and it's been sitting idle since. Ran it through the 310 and now it's a winner ...

 just OK Apr 12, 2009
This product can take a knife that was never sharp and put an edge on it, but, My best knifes that I use all the time, it does very little to make them sharper. I am not impressed with this item.

outstanding performance Mar 08, 2007
The Chef's Choice 310 is an outstanding home knife sharpener for its price. Very good value. My wife's knife are sharper now than they were when she bought them. Be sure to follow instructions on first time sharpening so the blade angles can be set.

Fast, easy, very good results! May 24, 2004
I have been sharpening knives for over 45 years and this is the fastest, easiest way to get an excellent multi-angle edge on ALL of your knives. I orginally purchased a Model 300 about 12 years ago. The 310 is much better because it sharpens all of the way to the handle, a big issue with small blade pocket knives.
If you like sharp knives and either do not have the skill or the time to do it by hand get yourself one of these.

Not as good as a professional sharpening or by hand but... Feb 12, 2001
Even though I normally use a diamond sharpening block and know how to check the angles of the bevel, I have to admit, this device is quick and easy.It gives an acceptable edge as long as you use it according to directions. It is convenient, as it can sit on your counter or be pulled out of the cupboard in a jiffy. So you tend to keep your knives sharp. The problem with hand sharpening is that it is finicky work that takes time. This is faster and easier, so you tend to do it oftener. A sharp knife is actually a safer knife as it cuts easily. If you force a dull knife, it can slip and make a nasty cut. (The worst cut I ever saw was with a knife too dull to cut wax. It had no edge, but made a nasty, torn gash. The user was forcing the dull edge through wax and got injured.) So keep your knives sharp and in a block and use them with respect. This sharpener will certainly help you do that.
