Excerpt: In our latest Sharpener Showdown, we tested the Chef’sChoice 15XV EdgeSelect Professional Electric Knife Sharpener, praised for its 100–percent diamond abrasives and Precision Angle Guides. We appreciated the 3-stage sharpening process, which efficiently restored edge sharpness on both straight and serrated blades. The motor’s smooth, controlled action ensured consistent results without overheating, while the LED progress lighting added a touch of precision. However, we noted the device’s bulk, which requires counter space, and the $159 MSRP, making it a pricier compared to manual alternatives. Yet, for our culinary team, the uniform sharpening and versatility made it a standout choice, though we’d advise potential buyers to measure their kitchen footprint and budget. The EdgeSelect delivered on its promise of professional-grade sharpness.
