Overview
The Chef'sChoice 15XV is a 3-stage electric sharpener that converts a standard 20-degree factory knife edge to a 15-degree Trizor XV edge using diamond abrasive wheels. It handles both straight and serrated kitchen knives with spring guides that set the angle automatically.
This is a sharpener, not a knife, so what it fits matters more than any single spec: it is built around household straight-edge and serrated blades rather than specialty or oversized knives. First-time sharpening on a factory edge takes roughly a minute, with routine touch-ups after that closer to 10 seconds, which is the more realistic ongoing time cost.
- 3-stage EdgeSelect diamond sharpening system
- Converts 20-degree edges to 15-degree Trizor XV
- Spring-guided automatic angle control
- About 10 in L x 4.25 in W x 4.25 in H
Who it's for
Fits home cooks who own a mixed knife block, including serrated bread knives, and want one electric sharpener to maintain the whole set. Less useful for anyone who owns only a couple of knives and would rather use a manual stone occasionally.
Pros and cons
- Handles both straight and serrated knives
- Automatic angle guides remove guesswork
- Touch-ups take about 10 seconds
- 3-year limited warranty included
- First sharpening removes more metal than touch-ups
Performance notes
The spring-guided angle control is what keeps the edge consistent pass after pass, rather than relying on hand position the way a stone does. Diamond abrasives handle stages one and two for sharpening and honing, while the third stage uses a flexible abrasive to polish serrated edges specifically. Because the first pass on a factory edge involves removing more metal than a touch-up, expect the initial sharpening to take longer than the maintenance passes that follow.
