Now THIS is how to do a fast run down presentation, tells you what you need to know then let’s the URL & comments section do the rest. One of the best beginner run downs I’ve seen! Thank you much.

@Work Sharp Tools, this video is awesome! Defiantly filled in some holes left in the user manual! Only suggestion would be to revise the user manual to detail the things in this video. Had no idea there was a slot ready for scissors or that the edge guide had to be pulled out first to be rotated! Glad I watched this video to pick up that info.

Agreed with r.d.sandman: This is how it's done. Great guide.

I just got mine today this thing makes sharpening so quick but I still really like using my stones this definitely makes quick work of knives that you get from the factory that sometimes have very dull blades especially towards the tip

This tool is my favorite tool in a garage full of tools !! What a great device !

I’ve got the original Ken Onion knife & tool sharpener and recently bought the grinding attachment. I’m new to sharpening with KO and really like using both cassettes depending on the job. With Christmas holidays and lots of gift wrapping upon us, can y’all do a new video with additional tips on sharpening scissors using both sharpening cassettes please? Thanks!

I'm really pleased with this! It works like a charm kzfaq.infoUgkxDcr-y2Pf6xdnrFHrSP7dl9kpKaCozcSQ Takes less time than my old electric sharpener because it can take more off the knife faster, and then it smooths out nicely with the finer grit polisher. I don't know how long it will last before the grit wears away, but I wouldn't mind having to replace it every once in a while.

A pencil eraser is great for cleaning the grits expecially the ceramic one

Cool! So you don't need to wet the blade or anything -- just grind and go!

Thanks,a practical video

Changing sides and changing the direction in which the no it’s hitting the blade. For example, the belt would be going away from the edge on the right side but into the edge on the left side

One side of the knife is going to have a leading edge and the other side is going to have a trailing edge.

I purchased specifically for scissors. any other videos with more detailed scissor instructions?

I have a question.....the way that the belt is designed on the pulleys in conjunction with the knife guides....if you are standing behind the machine, then the belt is moving upwards. If you are standing in front of the machine looking at it, then the belt is moving downwards. So one side of the knife is being sharpened when the belts move upward and the other side of the knife is being sharpened when the belt is moving downwards. Is that supposed to be right? I thought that you want the belt moving away from you so that you are sharpening from the body of the blade to the cutting edge of the blade. Someone explain to me please. Thanks.

This looks good only for short knives..

Its amazing what one can learn by watching the video

I use mine to sharpen wood turning tools. Don’t have a bench grinder yet and may not get one as this works pretty good.

I have one of these units and despise it for the fact of a Non Rigid Belt will never give a definitive angle, like a stone, or belt with backing plate. I realize it is always easy to place the blame on equipment, when the fault is the operator, not being knowledgeable with the machinery, not my case for this one. Function is simple, easy and fast. Blades do come out sharp in the end. I just can't stand looking at a "rounded" edge, compared to a fixed angle on a knife blade. Work Sharp must have realized this also, for many different models of sharpeners out there for improvements today.

Even in the video it seems that as soon as you get to the tip you have no more guide and you aren't going to have a constant grind at the tip if touching at all. Any tips for that?

Ok, so I gotta ask, you can buy an angle guide for a small 1x30 belt sander, and use ALL of the same belts on it, whats could the difference possibly be?? Other than the fact that you can buy one for $50-$60???

What is the belt tracking lever for?

I have 110 v American version but live in 220 v world now, how much watts onion need to operate? Or range of power consumption?

What about knives with bigger thumb studs?

Thank you for the nice vid but there is a thing I don't understand. I have the Ken onion and I've read that edge leading or trailing effects the burr but I can't reverse the belt direction so the right and left side of the knife are sharpened in an opposite direction. Is this OK? Should I be worried about it?

nice

What knives were used in the video? I see the Ken Onion edition “CRKT” but what is the smooth looking drop point folder? A benchmade?

Can they be used one handed? If so how would I do it? Ive just bought the precision sharpener&now would like to try a convex edge&scissors. Thank you.

Can you use belts from the original work sharp knife and tool sharpener with this?

What grit to begin with?

I do not understand how to use belt tracking lever. It's hard to move, i tried to press it but it can not be pressed, is it supposed to be hard to move or am i doing something wrong ?

What about heat control?

it works great but dont rely just on the guide, steady hand and practise on your cheap knives that steady hand, practise, steady hand, wax on wax off, steady hand, wax on wax off, steady hand wax on, you get it lol

Can this be used on lawn mower blades? If so how is it done. Is there a video on that specifically?

Why the constant starting and stopping of the belt? It seems like a useless step in the process, why not just turn it on and start sharpening. I think its a hell of a lot easier to skip the start/stop thing

Do I need to reverse rotating direction when sharpening left side of the knife?

Music is so distracting for an instructional video.

WSKO and WSPA should work together. Grinding a new bevel on WSPA takes hours while on WSKO takes minutes.Problem is WS hasn't reconciled a flat grind vs. convex grind and hails both. Best of both worlds is flat grind profiling on WSKO and sharpening on WSPA. Duh.

Perpendicular to the belt means 90 degrees. That instruction doesn’t make sense.

min 4: this is NOT a gut hook, but - of course - a BELT hook. If you´d try to gut / disembowel an animal with this sharp hook, it would cut the bowel - which is not goal-oriented ;-)
