Chef'sChoice Model 15xv Electric Sharpener

The Model 15xv Pro uses a three-stage system that includes a dedicated stropping stage. This allows you to not only sharpen the blade but also polish it to a razor-sharp finish that lasts longer than a standard two-stage edge.

Yes, this model is designed to handle both straight-edge and serrated blades. It is particularly effective at restoring the sharpness of serrated knives without damaging their unique tooth structure.

Trizor technology creates a triple-beveled edge, which provides a stronger, more durable blade compared to a traditional single-bevel edge. This structure helps the knife stay sharper for longer while maintaining excellent cutting precision.

The Model 15xv is specifically engineered to convert and maintain knives at a 15-degree angle, which is the standard for most high-quality Japanese-style blades. It is an excellent choice for maintaining that specific, acute edge geometry.

The brushed metal housing is durable and easy to wipe clean with a damp cloth. Internally, the unit is designed for minimal maintenance, though you should periodically clear out any metal filings that accumulate in the collection tray.
