The Brod & Taylor Pro is a robustly built, highly effective, good-looking, manual knife sharpening tool. We like that the unit quickly sharpens a variety of knife styles, including paring knives, serrated bread knives, and chef's knives. There are 3 sharpening tiers: course, hone, and polish. One can reshape the blade's edge as needed by changing the angle to meet one of these tiers as it passes through the sharpener. Moreover, the spring-loaded arms all but guarantee a consistent blade bevel. Lastly, the sharpener loses only half an inch of blade contact where the handle contacts the sharpening arms.   
While we're chuffed with how easily the Brod & Taylor sharpens dull knives, it does have some issues. Firstly, it doesn't sharpen scissors &mdash; this is the biggest knock against it. Also, despite the heavy base and rubber feet, the tool requires two hands to operate safely and effectively. There is also a bit of a learning process to effectively hit all three sharpening tiers correctly. Finally, the Brod & Taylor costs about as much as its electric counterparts. That said, this piece will be well worth the cost in an active kitchen where sharp knives are a must.

 If you are sloppy, the results will likely be not so great, even if the ad implies "just pull it thru and magic happens"

  There is the potential for a LOT of play as you draw the knife thru the sharpener, which I imagine negatively impacts your results. You must be disciplined to keep the blade upright and pull straight and even. If you are sloppy, the results will likely be not so great, even if the ad implies "just pull it thru and magic happens"

makes an ok edge. YOU have to be precise

 It's just a superior design, in my opinion.  So with that out of the way, now we get into the details. Like I said, this style of sharpener definitely works, no matter how much you pay for it, so the question is, would I buy this one again, or would I go the cheaper route?  Well, looking at the two, this one's (I'll call it the Classic from now on) base is made of tough nylon (a very strong, durable plastic that you can make gears and tools out of), and is formed into a nice shape. It looks pretty good, has a classy matte finish, and I think it will hold up well, despite being plastic

 I was very impressed with the performance of this style of sharpener. I'm sure that you could do better with stones, but I don't know how to do that, and honestly I don't have any use for a sharper blade than these will create. They take dull knives and turn them into deadly knives in about thirty seconds, so, kudos on all counts. To get a better idea for how good these are, I've also got a chintzy little sharpener that uses rods to sharpen

It looks pretty good, has a classy matte finish, and I think it will hold up well, despite being plastic. However, the other one (I'll call it the X1 from now on) has a metal base, and while the finish isn't as nice (you can see some lines in the casting that shouldn't be there), I have to give the win to the X1 on that front, but only by a little bit. If the Classic had a metal base it'd beat the X1 in my book

It works, but is it worth the cost?

It's easy to use, and does amazing things. According to my husband, "almost like magic." We like sharp knives, and have several sharpeners, but (also my husband), "We don't need anymore knife sharpeners around her, that's for sure. The others are being retired

 There is a slight learning curve, but there are many videos out there with easy-to-follow demonstrations of the various types of sharpening this clever little tool can do.  If you like your knives sharp, don't want to damage them, and are willing to spend a small amount of time learning to use this, buy one. If you are like our family it's the last sharpener you'll ever need!

" Some of our knives have worn thin over the years from sharpening, so it's really nice to be able to realign our knives without taking any metal off - and it's astonishing how sharp they get with just a few open, gentle, upward blade strokes.  For those of you who want to make sure to get "the real thing" and not a cheap Chinese copy, I suggest you buy from the Brad and Taylor page. Our sharpener was "the real deal." And if you don't like it, you're probably not using it right

Watch some videos before using ...

 Follow the direction of the arrows when you're pulling the knife (straight up...not tilted) through the unit at different angles

 So don't be surprised if there are metal shavings on your blade. It's normal. As for me, this is my approach to sharpen a daily used kitchen knife. Start off with light to medium pressure pulling the blade through the moveable arms

 Depending on the sharpness of the blade to begin, one or two pulls through "Course". One or two pulls through "Fine". If you can't see shavings, wipe the edge of the blade with a clean napkin to see gray smudges. You may find it hard to pull the knife through the movable sharping arms at first

Sure, you can send your fine knives back to the factory for sharpening; but this is so much easier and nearly as effective. I'm a surgeon. I demand sharp steel. My Misens were getting a bit dull

15 Trizor XV EdgeSelect Professional Electric Knife Sharpener for Straight and Serrated Knives Diamond Abrasives Patented Sharpening System Made in USA, 3-Stage, Gray.

The manual also provides tips and suggestions

The Chef’sChoice Trizor XV is reliable, fast, and easy to use, and it puts a razor edge on almost any kind of knife.

consumerreports.org

This sharpener is a good deal for the money, especially if sharpening with Whetstones isn’t your thing or have the time to learn a new skill. I’m a little concerned about the quality and durability of the unit. With that said it should last for sometime if you’re only sharpening kitchen knives. I’d recommend buying a two sided leather strop to complement this unit

 The stropping the machine did was insufficient to put a decent, quality edge, on my knife. I then used my leather strop and now it’s razor sharp. Even though the manufacturer says you can sharpen pocket knives and the like with this machine, it works much, much, better when used with kitchen knives. It’s simple to use, easy to learn, you’ll like the results so long as you use a leather strop and you’re not a knife sharpening snob

Does a good job for the $$$

I also wish manufactures would stop printing everything so small...this one is not so small that I need a magnifying glass, but still uncomfortable for aging eyes

The sharpener did what I wanted it to do...take my go-to, mostly Santoku style knives, from gliding across the skin of a tomato to slicing through effortlessly

Sharpens knives well

  i hope it last me for long time as it's not cheap and it's impossible for me to ship it back in any case.

The media could not be loaded. the device itself is fantastic, I sharpened an old Victorinox chef knife which was very dull to hair shaving blade in under 2 minutes, so far so good I just received it today and loved it, I shipped it internationally to Jordan which cost me extra almost 80$ in shipping and taxes and I believe it worth the money.  but the package was awful, it arrived in brown cheap cartoon box with only 1 styrofoam to hold it from one side, it was loose in the box and I was lucky It didn't get damaged during the overseas shipping and handling, I know many peoples commented on the same point about packaging and they should focus on this issue and resolve it. also, the plastic casing material is cheap

Video review in Arabic, Amazing sharpener, exceeded my expectation but the packaging is awful.

 I was able to take a kitchen knife from dull to professional shape in 8 passes though stage 1 and 4 passes through stage 2 and 3. Well with the cost if you enjoy extremely sharp knives.

Well worth the price!

 I got better results, but still, not extremely sharp. Looked at videos to see what I was doing wrong, but still could not get good results. Then I read about the Trizor XV in Cooks Illustrated and I thought, hmmm, this looks like the thing for me.  So, it arrived today and I spent no time in getting to work on my knives

 I was able to find the infamous burr (which I never got with the other methods, even after lighting a few candles to the knife goddess). The directions are simple, the operation is simple, the knives get sharp. What else do any of us mere mortals need? I got some grapes (no tomatoes on hand) that were a bit too soft and was able to cut veeeeeery thin slices without applying any pressure, simply by the weight of the knife.  I am sure all the other methods out there are great and do an amazing job, they just don't work for me

I am not a chef. I am not a knife connoisseur. I am just a regular guy that loves to cook, have a half dozen knives and like to keep them sharp. My lot consists of a Victorinox Santoku (my most expensive one), a Chicago Cutlery chefs knife that I love because it was mi first knife and it has a very comfortable wooden handle, a serrated bread one probably from Bed bath anb beyond, a smaller IKEA 5" chefs knife for my kids because it is perfect size for their hands and a couple 3" and 4" paring knives I got from my mother in law that have no brand and look very proletariat

 Then I read about the Trizor XV in Cooks Illustrated and I thought, hmmm, this looks like the thing for me.  So, it arrived today and I spent no time in getting to work on my knives. Love the heft of the apparatus, the functional, yet industrial design and best of all that it did not require me to take lessons from a Nepalese monk on some forsaken mountain on the third full moon of a leap year surrounded by happy goats and a couple oxen to get my knives sharp!  Man, this thing simply just works. My knives got REALLY sharp
