Work Sharp Ken Onion Edition

[tropics]

Wife got me a new sharpener for my B-Day

The booklet has some very good info in it.
I already have the work sharp knife sharpener so I will see how much better this is with the variable speed and adjustable angle

The way the wife treats her kitchen knives( mostly parring ) there is always a knife to sharpen. She does appreciate a sharp knife. I wait until there is a few to break out sharpener though.

Happy birthday Richie! I have the original work-sharp, does a nice job when I need it, maybe once a year. I'll be watching to see if there are new improvements. RAY

Happy Birthday, Richie! Congrats on your new toy and hope you are going to enjoy it. I have the same one and very happy with the result each time I use it. This sharpener is not cheap to buy but I never regretted I bought it. Let us know how you like (or not?) it....

Happy Birthday and congrats!! I got one for Christmas. I need a lot more practice with it so need to pick up some cheaper practice knives at Goodwill. It’s a bit tougher to use for lefties.

That is a great sharpener, but I would suggest you get the attachment that uses the 1" x 18" belts. It's a real improvement over the original design.

My Chef's Choice 120 has started scratching my knives. Plus the stropping wheel is falling apart. Back to the stones and stropping block. Consequently, I'm looking at the Work Sharps.

I've got 20 kitchen knives I sharpen. Plus, another 20-30 working knives. How long do the Work Sharp belts last? Or how many knives can be sharpened before a belt must be replaced?

Great sharper. I have one. Going from a bevel grind (stones) to a convex grind (belt) is a bit different, and it’s not good to switch between the two. Once you sharpen up with a convex just stay with it. Don’t go back to stones (bevel edge) using a steel is fine, just don’t mix your sharpening between stones and belts. It will frustrate you with less than sharp knives.
