Product Description
Convert traditional 20-degree factory edges of European and American household knives into high-performance Trizor 15-degree edges with this professional electric knife sharpener. It quickly sharpens all brands and types of knives, including straightedge and serrated and contemporary double-bevel or single-bevel traditional Asian-style knives. The three-stage unit combines ultra-sharp 15-degree edge technology with the strength and durability of the triple-bevel arch-shaped Trizor edge, which resists dulling longer than conventionally sharpened hollow-ground or V-shaped edges. Simply pull the blade through the slots to obtain the desired level of sharpness–the machine accommodates the thickest and thinnest knife blades and adjusts for the proper angle automatically thanks to its flexible spring guides.
The first stage features conical disks with diamond abrasives that create extremely fine micro-grooves and the first major bevel of the arch-shaped edge. The second stage uses even finer diamond abrasives on conical disks to shape the second, smaller bevel with finer microgrooves. The third stage uses patented, flexible, abrasive stropping disks that create a microscopically smooth, sharp edge with minimal metal removal, helping to extend the life of fine knives. Even more, it produces the third and final bevel while polishing the micro-grooves formed in the first two stages. Stage three can also be used to straighten and sharpen each tooth of serrated knives. Use the three stages in different combinations to create a custom edge. Other highlights include a simple front-access on/off switch, four stabilizing feet for secure operation, and durable construction for long-lasting performance. Assembled in the USA, the knife-sharpening station measures approximately 6-1/5 by 12 by 6-2/5 inches and carries a three-year limited warranty.

I was skeptical of using a “machine” for my traditional handmade sashimi knives and Global knives. Just finished all of my knives and I was pleasantly surprised of the results. The result is astonishing and the time saved is a definite must! I must add that this however does not sharpen as sharp as an experienced pro using various grades of stone. But this machine will get you there 95% in less than 1//5 of the time! Enjoy it!
This sharpener is very easy and almost effortless to use. Simply follow the instructions and let the sharpener do the work. If you have a knife that is badly nicked up, it will take some time to rework the primary bevel. WARNING You will have VERY sharp knives using this machine. Be carefull.
