The Chef's Choice 1520 is an electric three-stage sharpener that puts a factory-style edge on both Western and Asian knives. Its two sharpening stages use 100% diamond abrasives, and a third stage uses flexible stropping discs to polish the edge. A selector switch sets the angle for 15-degree Asian blades or 20-degree Western ones, so one machine covers santokus and chef's knives alike. It is a countertop appliance for cooks who want a repeatable edge without learning whetstone technique; it is bulkier and louder than a manual pull-through, and it removes more steel than honing.

Owners of the 1520 generally report sharp, consistent edges on both Asian and Western knives, and they like that the angle switch removes the guesswork. Complaints center on its footprint, the noise, and the amount of metal the coarse stage takes off when used on already-sharp knives.
The Chefs Choice 1520 Diamond Hone Angle Select is an electric knife sharpener. It sharpens with a diamond grinding surface and uses roller grinding. The grain is fine, with a grain size of 100.
The body is metal and runs on 75 W of power.
