Know before you buy
Yes, the Model 15XV is specifically engineered to convert standard 20-degree factory edges into a high-performance 15-degree Trizor XV edge. This provides a sharper, more refined cutting experience for your existing cutlery.
Absolutely. The three-stage system includes a specialized stage designed to sharpen serrated blades, ensuring they regain their cutting efficiency without damaging the teeth of the blade.
The Trizor XV edge is created using three distinct facets at a 15-degree angle. This geometry provides a sharper, more durable edge that glides through food with significantly less effort than a traditional 20-degree edge.
No, the sharpener features precision angle guides that hold the knife at the correct angle throughout the process. This takes the guesswork out of sharpening and ensures a consistent, professional-grade edge every time.
The final stage uses patented flexible stropping disks to polish the edge after the diamond abrasives have done the heavy lifting. This removes microscopic burrs and creates a razor-sharp, smooth finish.
This unit is designed for standard kitchen knives. It is not recommended for use on ceramic knives, scissors, or specialized sporting blades.
