Newbie question-- I have been using a Chefs Choice 110 electric sharpener on an old set of commercial Victorinox butcher shop knives, and it seems to work OK. I just got a Rainbow Leek and plan on a G10 S30V Leek. Will I mess up the blades if I use this machine on them? Should I get a Spyderco Sharpening system instead?
 
I"m just popping in before the experts arrive to advise you not to use the electric "sharpener" on any nice knifen without expert opinion. They more or less grind off a bunch of steel to give you a usable but not fine, edge.
 
Shann gives good advice. Don't use the chef's choice sharpener on any knife that you value. It will leave some nasty (wavy) marks on the blade. The Sharpmaker is by far the best 45 bucks I've ever spent on a non-knife item. The kit comes with an instructional video and is virtually idiot-proof. (which is great for me :D )
