BIRMINGHAM, Ohio May 5, 2026 – Bettcher Industries has significantly upgraded its previous Whizard® Power Knife kitchen trimmer technology with the new next-generation Whizard® Versa™ that touts improved performance and flexibility along with multi-speed capability and a competitive price point. The company will showcase the Whizard Versa, designed with the gyro/shawarma industry in mind, at the 2026 National Restaurant Association Show in Chicago at McCormick Place in booth #2094, May 16-19.
As a kitchen trimmer upgrade, the Whizard Versa’s ring-blade technology makes for sharp, clean cuts and provides easier cleaning, improved sanitation, and reduced cross-contamination risk in food processing environments. The trimmer’s two-speed motor allows for rapid cutting, and its twist-and-go head is dishwasher safe for additional convenience.
The corded 115V Whizard Versa features Bettcher’s built-in steeling device. The device ensures effortless blade sharpening that allows users to keep pace with rush preparation lines.
Additionally, compared to traditional straight knives, the Whizard Versa helps those in the food service and culinary sectors get more consistent cuts, while improving product quality, saving on labor costs, and providing faster service to customers.
