Kids bought me a Chef'sChoice 110 diamond hone, electric. 3 station, first basically grinds the correct shaped edge, second is usually where I stop, the 3 and final stage gets the edge too smooth for me. I have found that most of my knives were too thick for good slicing. I guess I finally figured out that it takes 3 or 4 different shapes/thickness of knives.
