Customer Reviews for Chef'sChoice - Trizor XV EdgeSelect Sharpener - Brushed Metal

My son Erik told me about his Trizor XV, and how sharp it made knifes. My son forges knives and knows volumes more than I about steel and knives. Having a set of knives for over 20 years that I thought were past keeping, I decided to order it. Wow, I love it, my wife loves it and now our knives are sharper than when they were new. I seldom use the buffer, as I prefer a bit of a burr to dig into a tomato skin easier. I use a fork tongued bread knife to cut through sod in uncovering grave markers that get buried over time at the local cemetery. The edge cuts like butter through 10 reclamations, that's sharp through a lot of abuse.

Easy and quick to use. Converted my wife's older cooking knives to 15 degree. She was amazed at how much better they cut. Even 3 weeks later she is still commenting on how much better they are to prepare food with. Much less hassle than previous experience with professional knife sharpening service.

Bought this because it was so highly rated by America's Test Kitchen- I am not disappointed.
Just as easy as 1-2-3,. I re-cut all my old knives with their 22 degree blades in less than 2 minutes apiece - all to a razor-sharp edge.
My old diamond stick is now a thing of the past. I pass my knives once on Stage 2 and twice through Stage 3 after every use and they are good as new.

I am extremely impressed

I read and re-read the manual several times before using the sharpener... and I'm glad I did. The main thing is to use the sharpener (#1) until you feel a burr along the FULL edge of the knife. My knives were so dull, it took about 40 sets of strokes before that happened. Don't worry! The burr will happen, but for dull knives, it may take longer than you think. Once I got the burr from stage 1, I simply followed the manual for the honing and stropping stages. Easy peasy! The end result is that I have never had such sharp knives. I have seen YouTube videos where professional talk about being able to shave your armhairs with your knife. Maybe it sounds gross, but I don't care. It worked (I tried it). That's how sharp my knives are.
Lastly, the manual also talks about something Edgeselect Feature. I have no idea what the manual is talking about, so I am waiting for a callback from the company. The manual should have included some definitions (e.g. exactly what IS Edgeselect? What is "field dressing"? The manual assumes that we, the general public, are familiar with these terms (I'm not). Neverthless, this annoyance is minor compared with the absolutely terrific job this machine does.

Great if you know how to use it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The great thing about this sharpener is that once you learn how to operate it, it performs well. The issue is that the sharpener arrived without instructions or warranty details, so you’ll have to google your model to find a video on it. It took several passes before finally reaching a decent level of sharpness, but still had some slippage. Overall, a hand held sharpener would probably be easier, cheaper, and more functional for home chefs.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Puts a brand new edge on old knives

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have an old set of knives that I like, but the edge has gone out on them. I've tried using simple sharpeners to keep them going, but it wasn't enough. I saw this electric sharpener and I decided to give it a try.
I am so impressed! This took the old, battered edge of my knife and made it better than new! I was so impressed with how clean the edge looks now. The knives cut so much better than before.
I was a little worries that it would be complicated to use, but the instructions were incredibly clear. I followed them, step by step, and the knife came out perfectly.
I am very glad that I have this electric sharpener now. I strongly recommend it to anybody looking to bring new life to their blades.

I’ve used this once, so I can’t speak to the longevity. Perhaps I’ll get better at it with time, but the knives were not as sharp as a professional sharpening. They were, however, much better after sharpening than before. I think this will be a great tool in my kitchen and, because it’s so convenient, they will be consistently sharper as I won’t be avoiding the drive to a kitchen store to pay someone else to do it.
