@@CNYKnifeNut 😂 do you mean that 'special' folder?

Hi @ruadhagainagaidheal9398 thanks for your input. Just to add a little information based on your comments, if you take a look at HORL's website and the product page for just the ceramic disk, you can see their description of this stone on its own. I was also lucky enough to spend time directly with the HORL team workshopping the use of this sharpener. The plunge line is the transition from primary bevel to ricasso. I was referring to this feature intentionally. As a knife feature the plunge line makes a huge difference to many aspects of use and maintenance, so is always an important design factor in a blade and a point of reference in knife testing.

Thanks for your interest. Did you read the video description? Are you familiar with Tactical Reviews? 60 seconds is over much too quickly to include more than an introduction to the review. The description and structure explains it is a short format video. The main review is the full article published on Tactical Reviews website. Both the short form video and main video are also only a part of the published review. Tactical Reviews is a review website with video content included as part of the full review.

Videos on this channel are only one small part of the review material published. Intentionally, these videos are recorded as 'box fresh' so the knife is unused to show how it arrives new. As the review videos are embedded in the full review, they are always released first while testing continues and the final review is prepared. The full review is available on tacticalreviews.co.uk/ once completed.

😱😂 (Oops)

If you can keep pressure onto the spine of the blade as you sheathe and unsheathe it, this helps prevent what you mention. Of course this is not always possible. I love the sheath latch but then it does have this tendency.

Did you try it yet? If so does it work?

@@randomtraveller8116 yes, but is not magical... It's ideal to leave it in the table outside, or attach it to the backpack belt, and help the body repellent. The different tablets are the most game changer. We use it in Argentina after the incredible mosquito invasion of the 2023/2024 summer.

A very good question, and not as clearly answered as I would like by Worksharp. The Ken Onion sharpener duty cycle, as published by Worksharp, only on their website, is "1 Hour Continuous" and their instructions then state "Allow tool to cool to room temperature between rated operating periods." without actually giving you the rated operating period. So to me this reads as you can use the tool for 1 hour non-stop, then you must let it fully cool to room temperature (how long does that take?) I would put this at an approximate 50% duty cycle on the basis of it taking an hour to fully cool down, but this is just a guess.

@@TacticalReviews Thank you for the clarification

I'd see this as more of an EDC and knife enthusiast's choice. It's a heavy build folder for people that like a chunky overbuilt knife. For military use I would choose something else.

It is higher quality and more robust than the sharpener , no doubt about it . The new Ken Onion BGA is less solid than the original and has a lot more plastic .

I'd have to agree, that powered sharpeners are indeed all too easy to go too far with. The great thing about the Worksharp is the speed control on the belt. It is not a one speed only, it is fully adjustable right down to a very slow speed. The blade tip is very easy to get wrong on a 'slack belt', but there are ways round this.

Thank you for your kind words. I am an enthusiast and hope that comes across; I do go over and above in production effort because it is a passion. It is just me, and fitted around a full time job and home life, so I don't have the time to try and promote myself more. It's all organic growth so far with search engine results bringing me readers/viewers. If anyone can fly the flag it would be appreciated.
