Chef’s Choice Model 15XV Professional Electric Knife Sharpener – Platinum
Chef’s Choice Model 15XV Professional Electric Knife Sharpener is designed for users who demand maximum sharpness, precision, and durability from their knives. Engineered for 15-degree class blades, it delivers exceptional cutting performance using 100% diamond abrasives — the hardest natural material available.
This advanced 3-stage electric sharpening system not only sharpens modern 15° knives but can also convert traditional 20° knife edges into a superior 15° edge. The result is a noticeably sharper, longer-lasting blade with effortless slicing performance.
Precision angle guides eliminate guesswork, ensuring consistent sharpening from bolster to tip. In the final stage, patented stropping disks polish the edge to a refined finish, suitable for both straight-edge and serrated knives.
