Good

I recently acquired the Chef'sChoice EdgeSelect Professional Electric Knife Sharpener, and I must say, it has completely transformed my knife sharpening experience. As a first-time user of a high-quality sharpener, I am delighted by its remarkable performance. This 3-stage sharpener quickly and effectively restored the sharpness of my 4-year-old kitchen knife, and even tackled the challenge of sharpening a blunt butcher's knife. The efficiency and ease of use of this sharpener impressed me from the start. The 3-stage sharpening system, featuring diamond abrasives, proved to be a remarkable combination. In just five minutes, my aging kitchen knife was revived and brought back to life. Although it didn't eliminate all the nicks in the blade edge - which would have required a complete reworking of the edge - it still provided a substantial improvement, leaving my knife impressively sharp. I decided to put the sharpener to the test with a blunt butcher's knife, and it rose to the challenge. Given the knife's extremely dull state and wide-angle edge, it required more time and attention. It took approximately 30 minutes of careful sharpening, but the results were outstanding. The sharpener successfully restored the blade's functionality, allowing me to effortlessly slice, skin, and chop my food with precision. It's truly a versatile tool for sharpening a variety of knives. One important thing to note is that it's crucial not to apply excessive pressure on the blade during the sharpening process. I discovered that I had a tendency to press too hard, which hindered the sharpening progress. However, with practice and patience, I quickly learned to apply the correct amount of pressure for optimal results. I recommend using a cheap knife initially to practice and get familiar with the technique. Once you have mastered it, you'll be able to confidently sharpen your prized knives. In summary, the Chef'sChoice EdgeSelect Professional Electric Knife Sharpener has surpassed my expectations in every way. Its ability to quickly restore the sharpness of my kitchen knives is truly remarkable. While it may require some practice and patience, the results are well worth the effort. With proper technique and care, this sharpener will breathe new life into your blades, making slicing, skinning, and chopping tasks a breeze. I wholeheartedly recommend this outstanding sharpener to anyone in search of professional-level results.

Chef’sChoice Trizor XV is, for me, an essential kitchen tool. I like sharp knives. We have way too many kitchen knives, some decades old (inherited), others very new, e.g. a few Shun knives. I haven't tried the sharpener on the Shun's and not sure I will. I got the Trizor XV to revitalize some nice Henckle and Victorinox knives that would not take a nice edge using a traditional steel. About a year ago, I got a ceramic for the Shun's, which that works great to maintain the edge on those knives, but the older knives still did not sharpen up. So I got the Trizor XV. After sharpening about a dozen knives, I've gotta say, this thing is amazing. I was able to put a wicked sharp edge on the Henkles and Victorinoxes. The instructions suggest it can take up to 20 swipes of the first stage to put the 15 degree on the edge. I'd say that is accurate. I wasn't counting, but I am sure it was at least 20 for several of the knives. Then stages 2 and 3 just clean up and buff the edge. Just beautiful. Knives are now a pleasure to use. I then tried it on a couple older "stainless" knives. It definitely sharpened them up, but I could never get the "burr" to appear in the first stage. Suggests to me that the metal in the blade is mediocre. Still, made them very usable, but did not provide the edge I got from the better knives. Finally, I tried the sharpener on some other utility knives -- fillet knife, a couple of pocket knives and a multitool. Again, the better the steel, the better the edge. Net is, this may seem pricey for a knife sharpener. But, it depends on how much you value finely tuned knives. I have used a steel for decades, but gradually, the knives just loose their edge and need to be revitalized. If you were so inclined, you could do it by hand using wet stones, which I have done for chisels and hand plane blades. But, that is way too much work. The Trizor XV definitely delivers the goods.

El chef’s choricero XV funciona muy bien y es fácil de utilizar, dejo todos mis cuchillos con un filo estupendo lo recomiendo ampliamente.
