Knife Sharpener Chef's Choice 1520 Amazon sale

http://a.co/aEpdQvv

Amazon can be funky displaying different things to different people so this may not work. But I just got this in my ad, I originally was planning on buying a Chef's Choice 151 but this one is on sale for $96 ($105 after tax)

So I picked it up, seems like a great deal. Checked camelcamelcamel and the previous record low for this was about $125, so this is $30 lower than the previous biggest sale. Seems to go for $169.99 in most places.

I'm mostly using this for my Victorinox fish butchering knife set, but I'll be using it for kitchen knives too. If people have input on this or a better knife sharpener I'd like to hear so I can change my mind on buying this but I've seen this type recommended frequently for those of us who suck at doing it manually.

I good friend and avid fisherman recommends this one and sharpened my knives with it I was impressed. I'll be getting one.

I've got the 120 (gift from the folks about 10 years ago, I think), and it's very good. If this is similar, you'll be happy with it.
As coincidence would have it, I actually just sharpened the kitchen knives yesterday and was reminded how much I like this thing.

The 3-stage versions will rehab a pretty messed up blade: I found a buck knife some catfisher left behind at lake chabot. Had a couple pretty nasty chips out of the edge. It took maybe 10 passes on the most aggressive stage on the sharpener, then a few each on the next two stages. I got the blade back to smooth and extremely sharp.
