Virtually all European and American style household knives are factory sharpened 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.
