So good to see Kyle and Kurt on the same set. This warms my little heart.

Thenks for a video. I own a worksharp Ken onion edition with grinder attachment for like 5 years. Now I use it mostly for kitchen knifes and axes. On my opinion, advantages: -speed, sharpen a full set of kitchen knife within an hour, - sharpen different stuff like swords or axes. - it can fix a geometry of the knife if you broke a tip, or get cracks on the edge. It will not take so much time comparing to other sharpeners. - it can do a convex edge. Disadvantages: - it rouns a tip. Now matter how you sharpen. - you will never get a not curved edges.it will always some sort of convex. - creates a lot of dust so don't use it on a kitchen, work in the garage or workshop. - you need to be extremely precaisious when sharpening a thin edges like 0.2mm. most likely geometry will be ruined.better use more presice equipment like tsprof or edge pro. Cheers to all.

RIP headphones. I love every one of yalls videos! I'm the woman who always has a knife on her. Everyone asks to borrow it or for me to cut something for them. I own a Kershaw Blur Ken Onion. I've had it for 5 years. Its gone through so much and been around the nation. It has also cut me out of my car during an accident. I had the tanto version before that. It was difficult to keep from rounding the corner during sharpening. These might be the solution! My list for knifes right now is: Esee 6, Esee izula-2, Benchmade bugout, Dessert Warrior Kalashnikov, and Gerber Auto 6. Still looking for more to add to the list. Thanks guys!

Only thing I wish WorkSharp would do is clearly label the inside of the belts. I'm color blind and it makes it difficult to know which belt is which.

Literally bought the Ken onion edition 4 days ago and love it! Great option for someone that wants a good edge without the time to invest 90 minutes into a knife set

I have an original Work Sharp and it def gets it going quick, but I kept rounding the tip. I think the 2.0 is a great improvement, just wish I could get a guard swap, instead of buying a whole new unit.

I got the Ken Onion edition with the accessory, been using Arkansas Oil stones or Japanese Wet stones for years, but the Ken Onion let me get great results faster and now I can easily do all my serrated blades. I hadnt even thought of being able to get blanks and make my own knives. Thanks for this video!

I use the blade grinding attachment, and you honestly can't beat it....its the best sharpener I own(many of which are on that table).

I guess that leaves me out I don't do the Instagram thing. Some people just don't like Instagram and that's not fare when you have drawing or contest just on that platform! But great video, I look forward to the next one.

I legit just bought the field sharpener and got it in the mail yesterday. It's one of my most favorite things I have

Only company that makes sharpeners that I literally think I would use every model they make and often

Had the original for 5 years, then got the Ken Onion, and it changed my life!!

I've sharpened over 100 knives with the field sharpener. Everything from expensive benchmades, to axes, the thing is an amazing piece of gear.

I've had a field sharpener for about 2 years now and got one for my grandson, we love them. I've been thinking about the Ken Onion Sharpener for quite a while and just bought the mod 2. Used it on a machete first then a folder. If I would have tried to do the machete with a stone it would have taken forever. It is sharper than when I bought it new. Next week I will be going after the mower blades.

Been using the Ken onion for years. Takes a little bit of learning for those new to sharpening, but it’s superb. Also have the extra attachment for larger items but rarely use it.

Even thier cheapest 10 dollar small sharpener is well thought out and works amazing..they are an Awesome company!

Great video i have the grinder attachment and love it plus they do military discounts. Thanks for supporting the troops

Just put in an order for the precision sharp and I’m stoked! I have a decent stone but have found that I have trouble getting an even edge especially on the longer blades. Been looking for a sharpener this style for a while but they’ve always been too expensive. Stoked to try this!

My biggest problem with the original worksharp was rounding tips even stopping when the tip just hit the belt it just doesn't haven't the tension you need.. I won't use it on my edc folding knives anymore but it's great for big choppers and machetes other than keeping the grind consistent like talked about it needs a tensioner adjustment

My Ken Onion and Precision Adjust are my favorite sharpeners! Just want more grit options for my Precision Adjust.

@ 26:10 i like how he said on his knife he customized his blade to be more surgical closer to the tip of the blade. On back l to the rear of the blade is more eough for cutting thick rope.

I love Work Sharp. I've got the Ken Onion and Precision Adjust. Love the whole family of solutions!

Hey, BladeHQ when are you guys having your anniversary sale? The last couple of years its been in march.

Just used my new Precision Adjust tonight to sharpen my folk's knives. So dull to start I couldn't even slice through a banana with the peel. Afterwards? Like warm butter! Great product!

I love my Ken onion edition with the tool grinding attachment, the standard grinder attachment is good but the tool grinding one is so much easier to get a consistent Edge all the way down

WorkSharp is my go-to for sharpening I've got the Guided diamond pivot system with the upgrade kit, in my mind that's the best all around system. Also got the OG power WorkSharp, gotta get my hands on one of the adjustable systems especially if it's coming out with more attachments

I will buy this after watching this video !! Love blade HQ

If anyone wants to get the ken onion edition. The blade grinder attachment is a must. I wouldn't touch the guide attachment that comes with it.

I really feel deeply that work. Sharpe should offer a trade-in for those people who have never gotten a decent out of the work Sharpe, Ken, onion model, etc..

I really appreciated this video. Those electric sharpeners always intrigued me, but like Kurt just made me too nervous. Now I feel confident in buying the Mark II.

I find the angles on the first gen are different on both sides, one side would be ground down more then the other, so I just use without the guide

I wish the Blade Grinder attachment had a little bit more space between the top rollers, it’s pretty difficult to sharpen curved blades at a shallow angle, like putting a 15 degree on a karambit

Can't wait for the precision adjust

I always use either a Spyderco double stuff, or a sharpmaker to sharpen my knives but the powered ones r cool

be careful with those...they will turn a straight blade into a compound curve blade real quick

Ive never been good at sharpening knives, I process allot of my own deer. I just got one of these and sharpened every knife i could find in my house and they are shave the hair off your a** sharpe!!! I love this lil machine. Best thing i bought in ages.

I would have liked to see a before/after demo how well it cut before and after being sharpened. But I'm seriously giving the Work Sharp Ken Onion a shot at my dull kitchen knives.

How long do the belts last before you need to replace belts?

Buy a cheap Belk grinder for kitchen knives and buy the pocket sharpener for hand weapons. The precision adjust is a fairly good machine problems with it to make you have to buy accessories such as a little stand so it doesn’t bend, but for the most part you can put a decent edge on your tool

I’ve got the original KT sharpener. Would love to have WS release a upgrade guide for the original like the new MK2 version.

Love my ken onion edition with blade grinding attachment,and guided field sharpener

I was thinking about going from the Precision Adjust to the Ken Onion but I might just stay with the Adjust. And if I wanted to upgrade I'll go to the MK2.

I legit have almost everything from worksharp, I just need the mk2 and the precision adjust

The little work sharp is great for quick touch ups

The precision adjust is awesome. Just got one and all my edc’s are shaving sharp

After this I settled on going for the m2 with some more belt options

I might get masacred for this but cam someone explain to me why I should spend 80$ on a mini belt sander when I can get a big belt sander for 40$ or a horizontal belt sander for 60$

Ken Onion rocks, I have a set of their kitchen knives. Birds beak paring to Santoku

Yes, I also request better identification of grid belts, color does not work for many of us

The precision adjust sharpener screams out for more grits. It isn’t a pocket sharpener like the field sharpener. I would like to see two diamond grits finer than the 600 grit. Like 1000 and 1400. Add a strop to the upgrade kit also. I bought a 3D printed replacement for the stones that you can put lapping films on. Mirror polishes are super easy.

I have ruined multiple knives on this machine and especially irritating issue is it they have now addressed being able to set a specific angle without fighting against a guide pushing your straight up. in my opinion workshop should offer a replacement policy. I know the Ken onion models that KZfaq sought to talk us into all these years.

Quality whetstones all the way...

I’d recommend the Ken Onion without the elite package. Unless you need it. It’s just a better motor. I’ve had problems with the regular Workshop set up and the motor didn’t last more than a month for me. This was a couple years ago and that’s just me but from now on a stick with Ken onion he’s a name I trust anyway

Am I the only one who thinks that Kurts hand grinder inpression is SPOT ON 14:00

LL Bean is in Maine. You want to see Fall Foliage you MUST go to Maine because that will blow your mind Zac. I've been to 46 of the 50 and they are all pretty.

Recently I was looking for 'rust free(not rust resistance)', submersible knife for EDC. Not the scuba knife, though because they are mostly fixed blade. I wanted a mini folding knife with clip, but there is only one knife - Spyderco Salt Dragonfly. Because most folding knives comes with bronze bushing and rust resistance steel. I want to know if there is other option. And I think that would be a great episode as well.

I was worried this might be a bit of an advert but it was really educational. Thanks guys.

So wait does the heat the belt creates on your knife disrupt the temper on the edge? I'm watching sparks fly off so there's definitely a fair amount of heat there, right?

Nothing quite like a spider paramilitary two with a round tip thank you benchmark for making my spider into a practice blade

Wow, I'm stoked! 🤣

Ive been highly anticipating more options for the precision adjust sharpener... The engineers are going to slow for me

He should be wearing safety glasses too

Kurt was about to sharpen his face if Kyle kept turning on the sharpener

The sharpeners are nice but Kurt that shirt!!!😍😍😍

Yes

can the mk2 do recurves? I can freehand most of my knives but recurves gimme the most trouble, even if I use different ceramic or diamond rods on it.

I'm looking to purchase the Precision Adjust next.

Ya so I'm left handed and I do struggle with some power tools. This unit would definitely be tough for me to use. Unless...... There was a way to clamp it to a table top or reverse the handle.

I have a ken onion with the blade grinder attachment and it is kickass

Very cool Knife Banter🙌🏝🍻🍻

Had that happen too my knuckles. I totally felt that. 14:30

great setup love mine the only thing I wish I would have gotten with it is a hard case to store it when I am not using it I don't have much space to keep it on the countertop or a bench so I keep it in a Box but it's messy. I have been looking at the KEN ONION EDITION KNIFE & TOOL SHARPENER for some time now and I would like to get it with the other attachments. the only thing that is stopping me from getting it is the hard case to store it

Would love to see a video on Flytanium and other mod manufacturers

Listening to the customers, then make it cordless lol 😆

Just bought one

Also watching the video help me do some better stuff

I've managed to make my Native 5 in s35vn and G10 cut hair in half in the length with my Precision Adjust ^^. I've gotten some like really fine abrasive films too (0.1 to 9 micron) but I don't even end up using em most of the time. Especially due to the fact that some of my steels prefer toothy edges xD

I

The Blade HQ videos aren’t the same without Ben and Zac. Even after Ben left Zac kept them pretty awesome. But I don’t get the same enjoyment out of them anymore.

Not gonna lie, that NOT a lot of progress for TEN years. It's basically the same product only now dummy-proof.

Worksharps precision adjust sold me on a kme. Wish they released more grits...

Put the leather guides on the Ken Onion.

Not a single paper cut to test the edge? How dare you!

Love the video content in this knife banter. Learned a few things too! I have the field sharpener and LOVE it. That precision sharpener might be making its way to my desk 😀😃🙃🙂🤟😁

The only thing on the power tool sharpener is the price, I can get a dewalt drill with a 5ah battery for cheaper than than belt sander.....you guys price yourself out.

So many people say different things about kitchen knife degrees. Most say it's 15 and others say 20.

Thanks. Bought one!

I have a tanto OTF. The guy that sharpened it for me rounded the tanto point a little. Is there a way to get that point more defined like factory. Will either of these do it?

How does the band not get cut when you drag across on the opposite side? I am puzzled by this. I am intrigued and this would make sharpening a lot quicker and easier, but just so curious.

This is the best video I’ve seen! I’m seriously interested in learning the sharpening trade. Question, do you know where you can go and learn more about it? I want to get serious training as a sharpener. Where I live no one does that and the demand is high and I have an idea for a Small business. Thanks and good job!

I have found 1/2" x 12.9" belts on Temu for a very good price . Any idea if there is enough spring adjustment to use on this ?

I have the Ken onion workshop And it works perfect for me how can I adjust my speed that turned the knob I can turn the adjustment for my blade grinding from any do I need I like it a lot better then this mobile you're showing here

The belt sharpener doesn't provide enough angles. I have a Japanese pocket knife, Kitchen knives But not only need something more acute than 20ﾟ but in some cases angles in between side out have to reprofile the Blade.

I prefer the OG with more angle options, my Buck needs a 15 degree grind to be shaving sharp. Limiting with only 2 angle options is a bit of a downgrade but the price tag is difficult to argue

Benchmade is putting a lot of knives on the market with the 14 degree select edge. It's hard to find a 14 degree guide. It would be great if work sharp could add that to their sharpener

Anyone had the Ken Onion and Mark 2 to compare for sharpening hunting and pocket knives?

You didn't show the field sharp very good the broad head wrenches the strip it is my favorite

If that was my family antique i would only put a fine edge on it and hit it lightly with an oiled fine pad done.

Sharpening knives _left handed?_ You think that sounds bad? I've got that beat ... I once *_BENT_* a drill bit! I was drilling a hole in an electrical box, and the bit just bent! How? It was a *_REVERSIBLE_* drill, and ... you guessed it!

Bro love the videos,I got to know where to get that hat you are wearing.
