always hated sharpening my knives.. after watching this video last week I bought one... it showed up today and this makes it so easy to sharpen

Hi, Andrew! Someone just made the chef part of your life MUCH easier! Thanks to whoever gifted this sharpener to Andrew! Happy butchering!

Those work great! The more you use it, the more you'll get a feel, and the quicker it goes. The extra fine belt does stropping but the rod definitely helps straighten out and clean up those fine burs. You'll never go back to another sharpener now!

Great review, good info!

I have the smaller wS Mk.2 and the Ken Onion. Love em!

Nice sharpener tool Andrew. Happy birthday as well

I’ve had one of these on my Amazon wishlist for a while.

There’s an accessory for this (Work Sharp WSSAKO81112 Blade Grinder Attachment for Ken Onion Edition Knife and Tool Sharpener) you might also like that makes it more of a typical pro knife belt style sharpener.

A buddy of mine has one of those at work, and he’ll bring it in occasionally and sharpen everybody’s pocket knives. I had a buck knife that I had carried for years that was dull and bent up. He was able to take it and turn it into a very sharp knife. Those sharpeners are very good at making, a dull knife extremely sharp. I’m sure you’ll enjoy sharpening your knives with it.

Awesome knife sharpener for sure wow .

love my work sharp, i got the grinder attachment for it too does a great job and the belts last longer than i would expect, cheap aftermarket leather belts available for it to use it as a power strop too

I have a Work Sharp Precision Adjust Elite (the plastic one, not the "Professional") and I love it. Positive: I believe it does an even better job of finishing the edge, it's wicked; negative: it's not appropriate for things like axes and hatchets or other "not an actual knife" implements of destruction.

They work very well. Many clients claimed it was the sharpest their knives have ever been. Like butter threw deer hide.

I had one of these for years and I love it! The first knife I ever sharpened with it could shave the ink off of a news paper! Edit: for some reason I have never replicated that but they are all shaving sharp Edit: mine was the basic model no where near as nice

That worked REALLY well...there's no worse kitchen tool than a dull knife!

I'm going to spring for that bad boy at some point.

In for results

I like how easy it is to change the belts. I thought you would have to unscrew something but nope that is nice. How much wear on the belts did you notice after that little bit of use

I had one of these and used it for about 7 years. Last year the drive gear broke and now it sits in the box. Not sure how to fix it, maybe a plastic mold or repair kit? When it was running it was my first "go-to" sharpener in my sharpening kit. Now I am back to the old method.

Ok. Ill go buy one now. Lol. 🤘

Reach out to wicked edge and have them send you their sharpener to review.

Anything to sharpen serrated knives?

Kind of aggressive, might accelerate knife wear significantly.... :-) (long term) Probably best as a "get a dull knife sharp" not a "keep a knife sharp" machine.

i will say nothing worse then a dull knife! i might have to invest into one here in the near future!

You're a gadget nerd, huge thanks to the person who sent it to you. Myself, I'm gonna stick to my granny's bottom of a ceramic mug method, lol

First?

A German steel flat stone works better. No huge machine to mess with and no huge bill to buy more Chinese junk. [ Yes, read the item description, ASSEMBLED from Chinese parts NOT American made]. Sorry, I will take my stone which I have had for years and can slip in my pocket. Much cheaper, portable, and will definitely outlast this thing you are pushing.
