I like your microfiber drag-test for burrs, imperfections. Appreciate your sharing this, thanks...

How do you create a burr when you grind one side and then flip it over and grind the other side?

How do you go about getting customers since your module is mobile based do you just go around in the neighborhood and ring the door bell . Just getting in to this business here in Canada and find it difficult to reach out to the community. Any advice or guidance please. Many Thanks Khush

Not bad, you’re pretty much remaking the serrated knife, I mostly run into cheap knives with fine serrations or pocket knives, all I do is to fix the damaged tips and a light pass on the belt. Good job and thanks for the video 👍🏽

How much cost to buy?

Euhem much?

Fun to play around! The beauty of the Tormek Is the guided system(and marketing for us too). I can train someone to sharpen consistently in a few hours, and the KS123 has made training even easier. All they have to do is move the guide bar from one of 6 Slipakniven H20 CBN 80/160/400/1000 equipped T8s, then either 250 mm leather or felt wheel. 4-6 min/knife depending on the required progression…..for a beginner😎

Love Cliff’s parts! I have a large rest I use for extra support and repeatability and wire wheel on dremel like Paul from Alexandria 😎

Getting around that horn at the bottom seems like a real serious hassle..

Yeah they should have just made it cast aluminum and lazer edged the reading and been done with it.

Excellent review

Do you have any info on the dust collection box?

Thanks for the hands on review! Practical experience after several months of usage is so valuable! What are your thoughts on heat and cooling with water? I own the Mk1 and usually dunk the knives in water between passes. Sometimes I can see bubbles forming near the edge from heat if I go too aggressively.

It will be interesting to see how you integrate that into your mobile sharpening setup.

hella nice

Really good review. I can see why a professional would have the same issues with it that you do. For someone like me, casual home user, I think it's great. Until I watched this video I thought changing the belts was super quick and easy lol I guess its matter of perspective.

Why caynt they put an adjustable reference plane that allows you to rest the blade on it while sharpening?

You mean modifying. Because fixing represents something that is broken needing a repair. This is your of your own choise to do this. That makes this a modification, not repair.

What air filter are you using?🙏

Will this new attachment fit the mk1??

Thanks for the video! I turned down a serrated knife yesterday because I didn’t have my tapered honing rod with me. I knew I had seen a video on how to do it on the Work Sharp but I couldn’t find the video and didn’t want to take a chance on messing it up. When I searched for it today it reminded me that I had seen yours and Clark Curry’s.

I think Gunny Juice is powdered diamonds of various grits. I make my own and it works very well.

I guess at Work Sharp they are expecting professionals to buy multiple machines, so they don't have to change belts while working. More consumption, more money etc.

I wasn't confident that I might destroy my plastic shroud, so I contacted WorkSharp, and they sent me a new shroud at no cost. Mod worked great! Thanks.

Great job fixing that huge plastic shroud , so much better than the way it comes .

A couple questions come to mind from the video: - Any idea what the difference is between the blue and white compounds offered on currycustomcutlery? - Did you say the yellow abrasive cleaning sticks are not helpful with the work sharp system compared to a larger belt sharpening system? A video on how you reduce the bolster with the work sharp (workflow/belt preferences to try to match previous finish?) would be neat. Coming from the wicked edge system I didn’t offer that service in the past, so have a few practice knives I’m getting ready to jump into learning the process. FYI I checked with a digital angle gauge, and the front vs back reference surface were within 0.1 degrees of each other for me which was quite impressive. The rear one seems like less movement to reset reference on the knife (not sure how much you use the front reference edge either though so may not be relevant). Listened to the podcast episodes you did as well, those were neat to hear because i've been on a similar journey, glad to see others are doing the same and making it work!

That bolster looks like it would be a problem. Doesn't look like the heel of the blade will contact the cutting board.

Thanks for the shoutout! Good stuff, thanks for the update!!

What is the air cleaner?

@SimplySharp, any chance you want to post a response here or an update video since its been 2 months... Any problems with the mod you have run into? Things you would have done differently if given the opportunity? Appreciate the content, I am a new Work Sharp user (have used the WickedEdge and other systems for a long time)... Only a few knives into using the Mk2, but i'm amazed at what a stupidly sharp edge the Mk2 gives me even compared to the WE130... not to mention its a tiny fraction of the work needed to get that edge.

Totally agree with your observations! I prefer the Mk1 for ease of belt change. All in all, however, it is a great product.

Guys are in such a big hurry you had to get a power sharpener and cry about a half a second longer lmao.

Could you provide more info on your downdraft table?

Dremel sand those sharp sections

Do you have a link to the battery generator?

I’m running 1x30 belt sander. I think this might be too small for the 1x30, do you have any suggestions?

Is that an air filter/dust collector? If so how do you like it? I’m looking for a metal shaving container

It's nice to watch how manufacturers try to improve one thing while fucking up another. So they make the angle adjustment faster and easier (what for really? Isn't necessary) while at the same time making it more difficult to access the belt through the shitty plastic cover... You need to change belts more often than the angle... You set the angle for one knife but you change the belts for different grits for one knife... They also made sure you can't use the Mk2 motor with the Mk1 attachment tool... That's so nice of them. That will be one reason I'm sending mine back.

Work sharp recently indicated that they had to add the plastic cover guard for legal reasons and safety reasons. There was no other way around it.

Thank you! I’ve got 81 kWh onboard…..should be fine😎

Is this more effective than a box fan with a 4" filter taped to it?

Do the black plastic pieces in the front or back on top of the horizontal parts come off?

Yeah, they ruined a perfectly good product by making it so fiddly to change belts. 99% of what I do with these units is honing with leather belts, so this is a non-starter.

Demo’d with a Tormek looming in the shadows. Hmmm.

What is that bench mat?

Where do you get that bench mat?

I believe the metal clip is there to remove belt slack when you are trying to flat grind useing that surface of the sharpener (like if you want a 90 degree spine)

I like the speed control on the first one better because you can make move slower and when I'm using the leather, I like it going as slow as possible, the new one decides for you how slowly you can run it and it's twice as fast as the first one. Digital looks cool but in practice, like with music, digital is not as good as analog. It's not a real problem until you are trying to get the blade as sharp as possible at the end of sharpening.

I agree with your evaluation of the new add on sharpener piece to much plastic.I due love the new Ken Oinion sharpener the digital motor control I love to try that feature.I would love to test the new Ken Oinion sharpener.what a amazing update.

The reason I bought the original Worksharp KO system was speed. I was getting good results with manual sharpening, but it was too slow. Mk 2 has some advantages over my system, but it makes belt changes slower. That's a non-starter for me.
