®
triple bevel
Trizor
®
edge while forming each of the major edge facets at 15 degrees (30º total) for a
sharpness that matches the best of Asian knives. Asian artisans devoted lifetimes to develop
the skills required to hand sharpen edges of this quality. Now you can with the Trizor XV™
Sharpener sharpen, hone and strop to the same perfection in a matter of seconds.
The Chef’sChoice
®
Model 15 is designed to place this superior 15 degree Trizor XV™ edge
on all of your household knives whether they are European, American, Japanese, or other
Asian styles. Virtually all European and American style household knives are factory sharp-
ened with edge facets at 20 degrees. Most of the Asian knives, however are sharpened at
15º on each side of the edge and that has established their reputation for edge sharpness.
UNDERSTANDING THE TRIZOR XV™ EDGE
The original Trizor
®
edge, an innovation from Chef’sChoice
®
has long been acknowledged
for its superior sharpness and durability. Its uniqueness is the result of the triple bevel
design of each of the two edge facets that meet to form the edge.
The Trizor
®
design uses multiple diamond abrasives of successively finer grits to shape the
facets into a modified gothic arch to create an edge that has added strength, durability, and
sharpness. In the original Trizor
®
edge the major edge angle is created at 20 degrees.
The new Trizor XV™ edge is likewise made by a three step sharpening, honing and
stropping process but the major edge angle is set at 15º (See Figure 1) for added
sharpness and effortless use.
You will appreciate the reduced effort in cutting and the enhanced sharpness. Remember
the edge will be sharper than you expect.
