I dropped using the Chefs Choice for a Spyderco. Being manual, the Spyderco is quiet and portable. I can use it while watching the game.

That said, my hand isn't steady enough to get a "factory edge" using the Spyderco. But you really don't want a shaving edge on chefs' knives anyway. You want more of a tool edge - sharp enough to cut easily, but not so sharp the edge folds over the first time it hits the cutting board.
