Chef'sChoice 15XV Trizor Knife Sharpener

Yes, the 15XV is specifically engineered to convert traditional 20-degree edges to a finer, sharper 15-degree angle. It uses a dedicated stage to reshape the blade geometry, allowing you to upgrade the performance of your existing cutlery.

Yes, the system is compatible with serrated blades. It uses the stropping stage to hone the serrations, though it is primarily designed to sharpen the straight edges of your kitchen knives.

You don't need to worry about the angle. The sharpener features built-in precision angle guides that hold the knife in the correct position automatically, ensuring a consistent edge from the bolster to the tip without any manual guesswork.

This system creates a triple-bevel edge using diamond abrasives, which is significantly more durable and precise than the single-bevel edges typically produced by manual sharpeners. The final stropping stage also polishes the edge to a razor-sharp finish that lasts longer.

It is safe for most high-quality cutlery. Because it uses diamond abrasives and precise guides, it removes very little metal compared to traditional grinding methods, preserving the life of your expensive blades while restoring their sharpness.
