Very happy with most Work Sharp products. Still wish they'd just offer this Field Sharpener with a 17° angle guide as well. One for the field with 20°, one for the kitchen with 17°. Would be all that most people need.

[@The_Dude_420]

Theres a bigger version with different angles!

I have had one of these for years. It is my favorite sharpener by far!

[@justsomesaltyboi8716]

Something that i learned when using this is that i like to put erasers on my ceramic rods to get the metal off of it, i also like to put the plates through water to get the metal off as well from the plates. the goal here is to increase the lifespan of the plates by also maintaining it's ability to maximize the efficacy of sharpening. For those that havent cleaned their plates in a long while, use gentle dishsoap and a dollar toothbrush to brush along the plates to get all the metal shavings out of the diamond ridges. There is also an arrowhead holder behind the plates too, so you can lift the plates, put the arrowheads inside the slot, and then carefully sharpen. I need to get more compound to put on the strop but this is a nice video. thank you much!

[@CorneliusCreations]

That is a great tip! Thank you for sharing

[@lukeminer3871]

Late comment but the broadhead holder you mentioned is actually a wrench. It’s meant to be used to remove your arrowheads without touching them

[@robertdeland3390]

I bought 2 of these based on reviews, one in the kitchen, one in the shop. Thanks for the very helpful "how to" video. And wow, I've never been very good at sharpening. I was able to get my orange buck 284 shaving sharp following your instructions. Now, with patience, I have lots of knives to sharpen. I'm hard on edges, so 20° is just fine.

[@danmclellan1088]

I just bought one .I love it !!

[@jerrytiner3391]

Glad to see there's a bigger one, I'm a butcher and that sharpener looks nice and it's a great price. Thanks for the video and info

[@CorneliusCreations]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@banjohappy]

Tip. The diamond surfaces, being magnetic, can be flipped over, thus protecting from dirt, etc. when transporting on camping/hunting trips, etc. I also find it's easier to hold the knife firmly by the handle and run the worksharp along the blade, rather than try to hold the worksharp by the end and run the blade along the abrasive surface. There just isn't enough to hold onto on the worksharp to keep it steady, and there are no tables out in the field to set it on anyway.

[@janisb1339]

I have a lot of different sharpening systems, most of them are from Worksharp, including Precision Adjust. But this one is one of the most versatile, it gives the easiest and fastest sharpening result for me. Love it! 👍

[@doncrawford1255]

Thx young man, I hope that I can do that as well. You make it look so easy, wish me luck.

[@JimLander]

Just as you I have trie many sharpeners, but have finally settle on the tool you show here!

[@yopeople70]

Just bought one and used it on a small Victorinox kitchen knife that could barely cut a tomato. Even at 20 degrees, its cutting paper better than a Spyderco PM2 I just bought. This product is very well designed.

[@greyscout01]

Good stuff. I have this one, but you still showed me something new... thanks for that.

i bought this recently and i can attest...works very well and produces a razor sharp edge. much better results than i was able to achieve with my lansky ceramic rod sharpener.

[@kridreklaw]

Was doing some research on sharpeners (top 10 lists) and the Work Sharp was on many of the lists. Came across this video and liked what I saw, especially the ease of use. Picked one up yesterday at Lowes $29 and just now sharpened two knives. Worked fantastic on both my Boker Drop Point Kalashnikov Auto and my CRKT Tanto LCK Linerlock!!! This video was clear and informative, thank you!!!

[@CorneliusCreations]

So glad you enjoyed it! Enjoy the new sharpener!

[@osker4738]

Dont forget the small ceramic portion for serrations. Also has 2 broadhead wrenches under the metal plates for tightening or removing broadhead arrowheads.

[@darrylweartpipingancamping]

I have one and it works outstanding if you follow Matt’s instructions. But for best results get a better leather strop for a better final edge. Great product.👍👍

What about the round rolling tumbler sharpeners with stones on either end that are advertised now. It seems useful in that they hold the knife at a constant angle with magnets. What is your opinion of these sharpener systems?

[@perkinwarbeck3029]

Perfect for hunting / fishing trips.

Yes it is!

I love this sharpener, I use it all the time.. Best bucks I ever spent on a sharpener !

[@anstef1485]

I agree 100%. Do not waste your money on small slide through knife sharpeners. For the price, this is the one to get, and it will be useful for all kitchen knives as well, including serrated bread knives that you can sharpen using the rotating white ceramic rod or the small rod on one side.

[@riskyron1416]

I have the same sharpener on the opening. 2 diamond surfaces, ceramic rod and leather strop. An all in one that works great. And I am in Costa Rica.where much as this is hard to impossible to find.

It is a good sharpener but it is not tenstrokes it's thirty strokes

@@keviningles5580Could be 50 strokes or 5. Depends on how dull knife is, how worn diamonds are, how much pressure you use. I keep all my knives very sharp so a few strokes would get mine back.

I've used the lansky for a long time and It is decent, but I get way better results with this!

[@RockyMountainBear]

I love those! So much so, I bought two of them. I keep one in my backpack, and one in the jeep. I also got one of the WorkSharp Precision Sharpeners, and for $50 it can't be beat. It's definitely not the nicest sharpener in the world, but it is pretty amazing. I double-dog dare anyone to find a better value for the price. I REALLY want to try the upgrade kit for the precision sharpener. I hear it really completes the set for people addicted to blades.

Put a sharpie mark along the bevel and as you sharpen you will be able to see where you are removing metal. Keep going on coarse till you grind off all black marks. Then repeat on fine.

[@0308valentin]

Having declared my dissatisfaction with this sharpener last night kzbin.infoUgkxDcr-y2Pf6xdnrFHrSP7dl9kpKaCozcSQ I thought about the problem some more. It occurred to me that I might be undoing each attempt at achieving a sharp edge by the repeated attempts. So, I tried to clean up the unsatisfactory result by honing with only positions 3 and 4.Miracle!! A really nicely sharpened chef's knife, more than enough to handle my needs. Admittedly, it did not reach professionally sharpened razor-fineness, but it is now significantly sharper than it was. A bout of breaking down carrots convinced me. So, major apologies to the manufacturer, Amazon, and all happy and potential owners! Follow the directions: don't buy it if you have ceramic blades; and don't overwork your knife blade.

[@raleighepp5274]

What about Serrated blades?

How do you clean and maintain this sharpener?

[@YH-rd4kt]

Sharpening stone can detach from the sharpener, you can wipe ceramic rod with cloth, with rotating. You will most likely not going to clean leather.

[@jameswoolston3580]

What if you have a longer blade say five inches?

[@GiveMeYoSammich]

Can you use this on large kitchen knives?

[@CorneliusCreations]

Yes, absolutely. They make a bigger tabletop unit which would be better, but this still can work.

[@JR-kk6ce]

Got one last week for $33.00. My one big complaint is that my knife was too sharp. I kid you not, a slight touch of the blade resulted in a deep cut.

[@VeloVios]

Be careful kid, you shouldn't be playing with knives until you understand the damage they can do

I recommend a system like the Spyderco Sharpmaker for something like that to be honest. BUT, you might be able!

Scrap my last comment I just tried it exactly as you showed and it does indeed shave thanks for the video

[@kevola5739]

I find that if you hold the knife with your index finger on the side of the blade and your thumb on the top or bottom of the handle it will lock your wrist for more accurate repetitive strokes.

Wait....was stage 3 course ceramic?

[@timschutte6924]

Actually magazine paper is easier to cut verses other types.

[@gregg6474]

It is a good product, mine just was made poorly, the coarse plat didn't last sharpening one small knife, the diamond dust literally peeled off wirh every pass of the blade. Hopefully work sharp only had a bad batch with mine.

[@2371Anita]

I got one for about 2 years now. It's good. But I prefer my dmt diamond card stones. The corse side is really really very corse. And the ceramic rot and strop are little to small.

[@CorneliusCreations]

Good to know!

[@daveruegg6769]

I thought the same w the super low grit on the course side... way to rough

[@wg5768]

Doing it free hand like this,you can't get exact angles on the edge.

[@timschutte6924]

The main issue is the human hand keeping the same angle on the blade on the surface.
