Chef'sChoice Trizor XV EdgeSelect Sharpener

3-stage diamond wheel electric sharpener that converts European 20° edges to Japanese 15° three-bevel geometry. Foolproof angle consistency. 120 V.
The Chef'sChoice Trizor XV is designed for one specific task: converting a German-style 20° edge to a Japanese-style 15° three-bevel edge through a fixed three-stage process. Stage 1 and 2 are diamond abrasive wheels that reprogram the angle; Stage 3 is a polishing stage. Once converted, a German knife cuts with noticeably more precision than its original 20° geometry allows. The limitation: once you've converted a knife to 15°, returning to 20° requires significant metal removal. This is a one-way conversion.
Pros
- Converts German 20° edges to Japanese 15° three-bevel geometry — noticeable precision improvement
- 3-stage diamond wheel progression is foolproof for the specific use case it's designed for
- Consistent angle every time — no skill required to produce a 15° edge
Cons
- Only produces a 15° edge — no adjustability for knives that require other angles
- Once converted to 15°, returning to original geometry requires a different sharpener
