Chef'sChoice Trizor XV Model 15

“It can recover damaged knives, and eliminates the need for a honing steel (a task I despise). A few strokes through it and you are professionally sharp again. Totally worth it. But it is pricey. The two-stage version (same link) is half the price but can't fix a damaged edge.”

“I own both a Chef'sChoice 15/XV + a few whetstones. If used properly, the Chef'sChoice is roughly equivalent to using the whetstone with at least a medium+ amount of skill. It produces a narrower angled blade (15 degrees versus 20), but this is fine if you are fine with the difference, if not, Chef'sChoice makes a US version of the same sharpener as well. Th”

“buying the Chef'sChoice Trizor XV Knife sharpener. It grinds down the angle of the cutting edge of a knife to the Japanese standard of 15 degrees. You kind of have to experience the difference.”

“Honestly, after running my knife through it, it's sharper than either professional made it.”

“I finally splurged and bought a Chefs Choice motorized sharpener and I love it. It sharpens your knives at a different edge angle and they stay sharper much longer. Resharpening all 12 of my Wusthof knives takes maybe 10 minutes.”

“Eventually I got the America Test Kitchen recommended sharpener and been happy with the results and convenience.”

“for my wedding, I can shave with my knives.”

“Not the cheapest around but definitely fantastic if you don't want to manually sharpen. Completely changed my cooking experience as all my knives are super sharp and ready to go.”

“I have one myself and it works great. Read the manual, plug it in, pretty much sharpens perfectly with little chance for error.”

“I bought a knife sharpener for about $150 a couple years ago and it keeps my knives super sharp. Model is Chef’sChoice Trizor XV”

“My parents own one, I borrow it every few months and it takes about 2 minutes per knife to get a razor-sharp edge.”

“This is kinda expensive but it saves thinking and it gets your knifes sharp and then it’s EASIER to keep sharp.”

“I own one of these, its fantastic”

“I've had it for maybe seven years now and use it 1-2 a year to do all the kitchen knives. If you just need to hone, you can just do the 3rd step. If you're trying to grind out big notches, you can spend more time on the first step before moving on to 1 and 3. I haven't had to replace any knives since buying the sharpener, even though most of my knives are”

“I got my Trizor used on ebay for about $50. It is completely awesome. FYI, my knives are middling to cheap. They cut like razors now.”

“I just struggled some with the KO where---for my preference---the Charf's Choice is simpler and quicker.”

“I found it to be very easy to use, quick to sharpen the knives and produces a great result.”

“The Trizor XV is a fantastic sharpener and one that I could easily recommend to anyone.”

“the sharpener creates a propitiatory bevel that makes it super sharp”

“I have this sharpener and considerable time sharpening with it. I use it on everything from carbon steel to my best knives, Henckels Twins. The amount of metal removed is up to the operator. When it is reshaping the edge to 15 degrees, it begins grinding from the heel of the bevel, gradually grinding to the pointy edge. As the bevel progresses toward the edg”
