Chef'sChoice Trizor XV EdgeSelect Professional Electric Knife Sharpener with 100-Percent Diamond Abrasives and Precision Angle Guides for Straight Edge and Serrated Knives, 3-stage, Gray

If you read it, it will save you time and energy. My sharpening system just arrived, and I had taken the time to read through the manual in PDF format before receiving it. In hardly any time at all, I sharpened 10 of my knives to razor sharp edges. Both the pairing knife from a dollar store and the 1955 Sabatier K Chefs Knife worked equally well with the tool. It was important to me that I read through the manual once more when it got here, just to be sure that I understood how to In my observation, I found that this was the case for many of the one-liner messages The product received mainly negative reviews, many saying it failed to sharpen properly or that it did not sharpen Most people did not take the time to read the manual carefully, as it appears most of them didn't care about it. At first, I had a bit of trouble The knives were sharp, as I was making some mistakes once I checked the manual, the knives had been sharpened. Slot 1 is best used when it's necessary, but Slot 1 should NOT be used at all times. Once you get the hang of using it, you can take a dull knife and have it pass the paper and tomato tests in under two minutes once you have a good burr in slot 2. If you don't pay attention to these simple things, you will likely not like this device. This America's Test Kitchen kitchen is as good as it gets This is a really good.

In that case, I bought this sharpener based on reviews in cooking magazines and Wirecutter and sharpened 100% of our knives.
I want to make a warning here You should be extra careful with your knives since they will be sharper. Yes, yes, that's a great marketing campaign. The knives that are less expensive normally have 20 degree edges, but they're cut to 15 degrees by this machine. Ok, I understand I just want to be able to cut tomatoes instead of tearing them. Now, pay attention to what I am warning you about. A month ago I took a knife and sharpened it with this, held a tomato in my hand (I know, stupid sign on my head), and chopped it with the knife. In fact, it went through it so smoothly, so quickly, and so easily that I didn't even realize how often it went It was so sharp that I didn't even notice that a line connected my finger to my hand I just noticed a spot of *If you follow the instructions, this sharpener will make your knives SHARP, and you won't need to buy another. As sharp as they are, I cut my hand three times because I haven't used to being as cautious as I should have been with a knife this sharp. Our knives were converted from a set of relatively inexpensive Cuisinart knives into a very effective They aren't a $600 set of knives right now, but I wouldn't want them to get I was completely blown away by the experience.

I am like most people who even consider this sharpener, because I am an avid, serious cook. In the end, I selected the sharpener after extensive research and using the ATK recommendation as the clincher. I was convinced that there was some kind of user error and that there was a chance that I was getting a defective unit despite reading some negative reviews. Although it was defective, I had no idea that it would gauge the sides of my knives because of its design. In my practice run on an old knife, I wasn't able to get the blade flush, so I attributed the scouring to that problem. As soon as the kinks had been worked out, I sharpened my trusted (more expensive) chef knife and it did the same thing. I'm sorry, but this is never what a sharpener, especially one at such a low price, should do! The company's customer service staff may be right, but they shouldn't be selling this product if they recommend taping the sides of the knife. Trizor XV gauges will go back to the manufacturer immediately, but I'll keep my knife as an unpleasant souvenir of my experience.

I've wanted one of these Chef's Choice knife sharpeners for many years, but wasn't able to justify spending the money since I have a perfectly good whetstone on hand. It was like a sign from above when I saw that Amazon's deal of the day was not only a Chef's Choice, but the exact Chef's Choice I wanted. As a way to justify the purchase, I used the deal. I now believe it might have been one of the worst decisions of my life. I don't think there is a nice way to review this thing, it scratches and gouges up knives that cost more than this pile does. The fact that it sharpens well is certainly a plus, but when I use it I end up damaging the blades. I should have returned this product after turning it on for the first time, as it makes a weird sound like it's hitting the inside of the buffer wheel. There can be no use for this product, and the damages it causes are.

I like to keep them sharp when I am cooking, camping, or hunting. It is a razor sharp instrument. In order to use my pocket knife for shaving, I need to sharpen it myself. I recently lost my local mobile sharpener, so I have been looking for a tool that works well. Yesterday, I received this package, and I sharpened every knife to a razor's edge that I can find. In order to sharpen the cheese knives, I am now doing so. This will probably need to be mentioned to By the time I end up bald and shave half the dog, I've tested the knives. As a result, the cat will not approach me anymore. It seems the cat has not stitched yet, but that could change. When I first started, I had a cheap Kershaw pocket knife that never worked well. Using all 3 sets of wheels on both sides, I can shave the belly of a grasshopper in 10 passes. In addition to that, I moved on to an old Benchmade knife which had 2 blowouts on the blade caused by Each side should make 20 turns on the #1 wheel, and each side should make 10 turns on the 2 and 3 wheels Tonight will be my first clean shaven dinner in a while.

Next, the Wusthof Classic Garlic can now be shaved paper thin with a chefs knife, and carving knives are now capable of doing so as well. The new ones are better than the old ones. The bottom line is that you are probably searching for a knife sharpener since you are You can easily find 20 s***ty asses for $20 if you are a cheapskates As seen by- There are a bunch of TV options, or worse, that I will happily supply you with if you pay A good knife sharpener is what's needed to sharpen the crappy knives we all have, or even a sharpener to make the most of the crap we have around the house Your parents gave you this as a Christmas present in 1986, so buy it. This will be a great experience for you.
