15 Trizor XV EdgeSelect Professional Electric Knife Sharpener for Straight and Serrated Knives Diamond Abrasives Patented Sharpening System Made in USA, 3-Stage, Gray. It is important to note if you are converting your knife it will take significantly more sharpening time to get the trizor edge. Swipe 20 times for each side of the knife for stage 1. Swipe 15 times for each side of the knife for stage 2. Swipe 5 times for each side of the knife for stage 3. Proper use is outlined for the various styles of knives in manual. The manual also provides tips and suggestions

America's Test Kitchen

Our top-rated sharpener had the winning combination of producing truly exceptional and consistent results quickly, neatly, and efficiently. The manual clearly outlined a few specific steps that must be followed each time, and it took about 2 minutes from start to finish to get a polished, razor-sharp edge. Narrow, spring-loaded slots made it easy and unambiguous to maintain a consistent angle as we moved the knife through the three slots. It rapidly removed a notch we cut in the blade and easily sharpened both our everyday chef’s knife and pricey carbon-steel chef’s knife. We subtracted half a point because the slots left very light cosmetic scratches along the sides of our knives.

"I know, I know: A knife sharpener is not the most glamorous gift, but with this sharpener, you give a gift that keeps on giving. Sharp knives make a huge difference. They make food prep easier, faster, and safer. And when your favorite home cook can restore their kitchen knives to like-new condition within 2 minutes, right at home, they will never have to struggle with a dull blade again." - Lisa McManus, Executive Editor, ATK Reviews

Big Lew BBQ & Other Things I Want to Do!

Lythaniel Thee Reviewer

 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 strop on the machine only does an adequate job. Using a leather strop after the three stages of the this machine will take your edge to a new level! For instance, I just now sharpened a hunting knife that’s about 4 inches long with this machine

 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

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

  Just so you know, I own many knife sharpening systems, from Japanese Whetstones to diamond plates to multiple electric sharpeners. So far I’ll use this one most often especially when I want to save time.  I hope this was helpful! Let me know with a like if you would please.  Thank you

Does a good job for the $$$

 It says use sparingly probably only once or twice a year if you notice that it's not really putting a polished edge on your knives. Okay, and what it does, see, that's a little I Don't know if you can see that, but see if I get the angle there on the camera right. But in stage three, you see it a little white there. It's more like a little plastic disc than it is some carbide diamond type disc

 So anyway, if you work with a little bit more, but that's getting it. Let's do an onion. You want to see food cut. Let's cut up an onion

 This is one that I carry. It's a buck. 110 paper stone a Go Light model but I really like it because it's lighter than a 110 and I carry this a lot in I sharpen it with this Alright stage two and three and I Gotta tell you, here's coffee paper: I Know copy paper is not a good test alright, but it got it really sharp. Okay I mean it got it really short

 but a lot of people call it the XV transfer edge tries or or Jeff's choice probably calls it the 15 tries range. Well, let's talk about what 15? All right? Most American and European knives traditionally have been angled at 20 degrees. This gives you a sharp edge and the powerful edge that doesn't bend or fold very much, but it's sorts of strong edge, but it's not as sharp as it could be. A lot of the Asian knives are done at a 50, so instead of a 20 degree angle, they're at a 15 degree angle

Chef’s Choice XV Trizor Edge Knife Sharpener Review & Demonstration.

 One must realize that kitchen knives are totally different from your pocket knife, tactical knife of hunting knife, all of which require a sharp edge also but may not require a razor sharp edge. I have hunting knives which are optimal for field dressing game but this is not the same. If you love cooking and enjoy a razor sharp edge this 15 degree angle on a thiner asian or even a high end chefs knife, this sharpener will regrind and maintain an edge that will amaze you. That said there is one con

 If you love cooking and enjoy a razor sharp edge this 15 degree angle on a thiner asian or even a high end chefs knife, this sharpener will regrind and maintain an edge that will amaze you. That said there is one con. Your knife will suffer some slight marks on the sides from regular sharpening. I for one believe that a chef's knife is to be used and enjoyed for its purpose so a little marking is part of the journey

Sharpest cutting edge in it's class

..same results! My daughter in law gave it a shot with another dull knife that would only smush a tomato and produced an edge in only seconds that would cut tomatoes paper thin! She also got razor sharp results on a short bladed paring knife!  Once a knife is this sharp, the machine won't be needed for quite a while. Generally, only a pass or two with a high quality ridged sharpening steel such as those offered by Forschner or Mundial will be enough to maintain the edge for months of household kitchen use

 This is because the edge of a razor sharp knife becomes so thin that it will "fold over" in the shape of a J during use. The steel straightens the edge and restores it's razor sharpness with just a few VERY LIGHT strokes. The vision you might have of the butcher flailing his knife 10-20 times with the steel to restore the edge is really overkill and mostly for show. The two light strokes should do it

 I spend a lot of time outdoors and sharpening a knife the old fashioned way is an essential skill for every man...and sadly maybe for the woman whose man won't develop the skill

Goodbye whetstone...almost!

 Don't go to Walmart, get a you know, 15 knife set or 15 tasty chef's knife. um which you're gonna have to sharpen once a month from Stage one, Stage two, Stage Three. Ideally you should only be hitting stage three just to strap the knife and polish up that edge. So invest, you know, maybe 50 to 100 bucks or get a really good Victorinox knife

 so it had to be sharpened. So I wound up getting the knife sharpener back in June and it works amazingly. So what I'm gonna go ahead and do and I'll speed it up a little bit is actually sharpen this knife back to a better than new status and I'm gonna go ahead and slice that paper again and it's gonna be pretty amazing. So let's take a look

 One issue that I have had with this, um one of the uh, I guess I'll go into the Uh pros. Uh, one of the best pros about this amazing job on knives. Makes them better than new it's no lie and it's still holding up well three years strong. Um, one issue, um that has come up though is with the knives

Chef’sChoice 15 Trizor XV Electric Knife Sharpener 3-Year Review

  This sharpener has three separate electric rollers, with different characteristics, from cut-a-new-edge through to polish-up-the-finish-on-the-blade.  I am NOT a professional or an expert. Having said that, it is obvious that this very effective. We got old “steak knives” (good luck cutting meat with those) and tried the machine on them

 it works.  We tested it on proper sharp kitchen knives that were old, and it also did a marvelous job.  It’s build is almost industrial. It is solid, it has a good motor as far as I can tell, and the instructions are clear

It’s worth the money if you want sharp knives.

 I can get such a sharp edge in about 5 seconds with the Chef'sChoice machines that it's not even close to deciding witch system I'll use almost all the time. Comparing the two very different techniques is comparing apples to oranges. One way is results in a near perfect edge in less then 10 seconds and the other maybe gets you a slightly sharper edge but maybe not, but it will take several minutes maybe 15 or more to get similar results as I can get with the Chef'sChoice system.  Don't listen to reviews that say this will ruin you blades

 Good knives only need sharpening once or twice a year. The key is using a great quality blade with a decent cutting board like wood or soft plastic and stay away from cutting into bones except with your one and only boning knife. Fish bones are no big deal but the other types can mess up a nice edge fast. Also, keep the uneducated away from expensive, sharp knives, give them something else to use

 It is like super fine, basically polishing the edge to super sharpness. It's almost all I ever use and if you wanted to, you could run you very best knives through that last disc every day, without any significant ware to your blade. Knife sharpening is mostly about consistent angle and nothing provides fast sharpening with a consistent angle than Chef'sChoice.  I told you it will be the best thing you ever bought

Possibly the best purchase you'll ever make

Consumer Reports

For the avid cook, there are few more valuable tools than a solid and dependable knife—and taking optimal care of one is of utmost importance. This double-sided sharpening stone comes with both a coarse and a fine side, which provides exceptional sharpening and an exceptionally sharp edge via the fine side. CR editor Paul Hope found that the Sharp Pebble Whetstone put an edge on the knives that none of the electric or manual sharpeners could match, making it a top choice for cooks who are serious about sharp blades.For more options: Best Knife Sharpeners

 This whetstone gets my blades back to razor sharp quality in a matter of minutes and gives me a sharp blade wherever I go. The dual sided grit is what really drew me to this stone. As the 1000 grit cleans up the edge and gets any major imperfections out and the 6000 grit gives me that razor sharp edge. Stand it comes in is nice too, keeps it in place while working the blade, you won't regret the purchase

 I'm a carpenter avid outdoorsman so in general I like to keep a knife on me wherever I go as you find yourself in need of one more often than not. I beat on my knives hard, regularly using them on the job site to cut miscellaneous day to day material that oftentimes dulls the blade into becoming a glorified butter knife. This whetstone gets my blades back to razor sharp quality in a matter of minutes and gives me a sharp blade wherever I go. The dual sided grit is what really drew me to this stone

Sharp Pebble Premium Whetstone Knife Sharpening Stone 2 Side Grit 1000//6000 review

 With 4 different grits, patience and following pre and post instructions, this should last years!

Guide only fits blades over 6"

I bought this product because I wanted to develop my skills for sharpening my kitchen knives. If you’re knives are very dull then I would suggest getting a quarter grit such as 400. I think this particular product is more for someone who has maintained their knives and the 1000 grit works well. In my case I had to buy a stone that had 400 grit on one side and 1000 grit on the other

 You will need to watch several online videos to develop a technique. I think my first attempt at sharpening was successful and I will continue with it. It worked way better than trying to use any type of drag through sharpener

Good for beginners

 Had the tomato ready for testing. Impact of the sharpener was immediate. I could literally see a small nick in one of our paring knives and after working the stone it was gone and sliced the tomato like a hot knife through butter. Nice product packaging as well

We purchased a set of Wustof knives several years ago and have noticed the dullness despite trying a variety of cheap sharpeners. After paying $15 to get one knife sharpened I divided it was time to take care of our knife investment. I got the sharpener today and immediately set to work sharpening all of our knives. I had watched two YT videos so felt comfortable on how to use the sharpener right out of the box

Knife investment

 The one recommended here is the best for your typical kitchen blade use. The instruction manual, actually a one-sided page, describes how to use the stone, however as a training professional I would recommend some photos or drawings to make the steps clearer. Epicurious' YouTube channel has a very good demo on sharpening using this stone: "The Best Way to Sharpen & Clean Knives." The included angle guide that holds the blade at the proper angle to the stone is good for beginners, but is small enough to easily use

 I downloaded it and discovered that the link is actually to a no-cost subscription to an on-going newsletter, with a link to download the actual ebook. Nonetheless, the content is useful; for example, they revealed an interesting tip to help the sharpening process which I have not yet tried but look forward to doing so.

 Also, make sure you dry everything well before storing again as the wooden holder will mildew (that was not a pleasant clean up). But overall, a good value for keeping your kitchen knives about as sharp as they can be.

Good budget option
