“The best electric option here for mixed collections: one guided machine for both 15° and 20° edges.”

The Chef'sChoice AngleSelect Model 1520 is the electric sharpener for a mixed knife drawer. It provides dedicated guides for both 15° and 20° knives, then uses a final stropping stage to refine the edge.

A Western chef’s knife and a Japanese-style santoku no longer need separate machines, which makes it the most versatile powered option when compatibility matters as much as speed. This version is finished in brushed metal.

  • Separate support for 15° and 20° edges
  • Diamond sharpening stages with a stropping and polishing stage
  • Suits Western and Japanese-style knives

Lucy's Verdict

The best electric option here for mixed collections: one guided machine for both 15° and 20° edges.

Lucy · Head of Curation

Why we chose it

We chose the 1520 because real kitchens rarely contain one knife system. Its dual-angle design solves that problem cleanly and makes it easier to recommend than a single-angle machine to customers with Global, German and Japanese-style knives together.

Who it's best for

Buy it if you own both Western and Japanese-style knives, want guided sharpening and prefer a powered system to freehand stones.

Why Lucy recommends it

  • AngleSelect electric sharpener; separate support for 15° and 20° class edges; diamond sharpening stages; stropping/polishing stage.
