The Chef's Choice only puts a primary grind on the blade. They are great for regrinding the primary edge quickly, which them needs to be followed up with getting a secondary edge on the blade. It leaves a rough primary grind on the blades which will cut, but not anyhwere near as well as a properly sharpened blade.

I've used the Spydie set for almost 20 years, sharpening others blades for them at the gun club on Sundays until three years ago. The Chefs choice [ or any of the same type of sharpeners ] if it's needed to get a primary on them, then the Spyderco ceramics.

IMO, the Lansky is a very good set, but it takes too long to set it up to sharpen, and I can get 3-4 knives done in that time with the Spyderco set.
