Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Chef's Choice 470 SteelPro
Customer Review: Disappointing Product: Chef's Choice 470 SteelPro
Summary: 1 Stars
I always fall for these silly gadgets and was disappointed to put it mildly. I would rate it zero if I could. The 470 SteelPro is very light weight, doesn't adhere to a counter and dangerous to use--yes we read the instructions, but hate to say, this gimmick doesn't work. My husband, who always sharpens my knives, tried it too and he felt it was junk. Better off with our old-fashioned butchers knife sharpening steel. I will say that while using a butchers knife sharpening steel won't replace a professional sharpening job, it will lengthen intervals between sharpenings. This is the first time I ever left a negative response on Amazon but the truth needs to be told!
Description of Chef's Choice 470 SteelPro
Chef's Choice SteePro 470Many owners of fine knives are intimidated by home sharpening with a steel. The SteelPro takes the guesswork and intimidation out of sharpening, yet still uses the preferred steel method instead of abrasives to create a super-sharp edge. By drawing a blade alternately through one slot then another in the SteelPro approximately ten times, the edge develops micro-serrations that cut food exceptionally well. The guides maintain an angle of approximately 23 degrees. Professional sharpening will still be required periodically in the life of a high-quality knife.
Clever design features make this device a pleasure to use. Using a coin, the tops of the two miniature steels can be loosened and the steels rotated when a fresh surface is required. However, the steel is so hard that several thousand strokes are needed to dull it even slightly. The sure-grip handle is comfortable for either left- or right-handed users, and a ring allows the sharpener to be hung. The glossy, chrome-look base is actually a durable plastic but looks smart in the modern kitchen and stays put during use thanks to small rubber feet. Not for use with scissors, serrated knives, or ceramic knives, the SteelPro is covered by a one-year warranty and measures 7 by 2 by 2-3/4 inches. --Ann Bieri
