What the testers found
America's Test Kitchen's Best Buy for 15-degree knives: a "slightly simplified, more compact version" of the Trizor, with two slots instead of three. ATK noticed "only a minor difference in cutting performances," but knives sharpened in it "may require slightly more frequent sharpening." Like the Trizor, it left light cosmetic scratches on the blades. Shorter warranty (2 years vs 3).
