Got mine. Much nicer that the previous model. Except for one, big thing. Changing belts is very difficult with old, arthritic hands.

It takes a little practice! Safety regulations made us put more plastic on there but once you build the muscle memory, it gets easier.

Why don’t yall add some kind of riser to rest the blade on, instead of having a 0 degree reference point?

I think I’ll make sure I get the old blade grinder attachment before stocks run out, in case in the future I need a new one. Yeah you have included a few advancements but I prefer the open face of the mk1, once you’ve set up for sharpening the new features become irrelevant. Why fix something that wasn’t broken in the first place? I must admit I do like the new power pack.

@Work Sharp: Nice new tool but im missing a cheaper modell with only the Motor and the Blade Grinding attachement. I do not need the Ken Onion standard grinder.
@saltypepesugar2 ай бұрын
Just received mine and I like the new mechanisms for speed control, continous run, belt change and angle dial. It is easier and more comfortable to use compared to Mk1. I do have questions though. Is there a guide for maintenance? Like how to clean the soft padding in the angle guide? Do I need to clean it every time after using? What would happen if I leave too much dust on it? Second, I remember you made a video "Push vs. Pull! Best way to sharpen??? Work Sharp Precision Adjust Knife Sharpener" and concluded it's better to "push". Will you consider to add a switch to control the direction of the motor, so we can "push" both sides? Maybe in Mk3?

I already have an original KO sharpener with the blet grinding attachment, but I know some people just buy the sharpener without the blade grinder. Does the new blade grinder attachment fit the old KO sharpener?

No the new and original versions work exclusively with each other.

Do I need to unfasten a screw in order to remove the angle guide? There’s a T20 towards the motor that looks like it’s securing it.

Someone explain why you need both? What’s the point of the grinding attachment when the plain tool seems to do the same thing?

I believe that you have more flexibility with the attachment allowing you to sharpen different types of blades.
