How to Sharpen Tools with the Work Sharp Knife and Tool Sharpener Mk.2

[@melodyaustin9070]

Thank you so much for coming up with this sharpen tool. I have scissor that won't cut anymore, and it's hard to find someone to sharpen them. Now I can do it myself.

[@Jurassic_edc]

Awesome video guys. Can't wait to get mine and start playing. Have an awesome week guys 🤙🏼

God bless a people like you, not bla bla and nothing but simple and excellent explanation like you.5 star is nothing if i can i’ll give you a 100 stars. Thanks a lot and God bless a good human beings like you.

I just got the Mk. 2 in the mail yesterday. It was a birthday present to myself. LOL! I can’t wait to put it through the paces this weekend.

[@theogjb]

I absolutely love my mk2! These videos are a huge help and a great addition to the booklet that comes with it. I had purchased a Spyderco Sharpmaker about 6 months ago and it just didn't get my knives as sharp as I would have liked. I thought that buying this machine would be a hassle but it's not that loud, it's compact, portable and very easy to use. Now I just use the Sharpmaker to touch up serrated knives as it fits perfectly in the notches.

Id love to see you guys sharpen a Katana using the Ken Onion Edition

Great video thanks for all the advice I can't believe how many items you can sharpening with this can't wait to get started with mine atvb Jimmy 😎😎👍👍

[@ashiqmomin1920]

I'm really pleased with this! It works like a charm kzbin.infoUgkxDcr-y2Pf6xdnrFHrSP7dl9kpKaCozcSQ Takes less time than my old electric sharpener because it can take more off the knife faster, and then it smooths out nicely with the finer grit polisher. I don't know how long it will last before the grit wears away, but I wouldn't mind having to replace it every once in a while.

[@vladimirnoriega5793]

Thank you

[@craigbushby515]

Just knocked out the kitchen knives and asked my wife to cut a few things while I grabbed some stuff out of the deep freezer. She was shocked at how sharp they were! Went through the ribs like butter!

[@jkpinpdx]

Can you do a video on making/sharpening a 90 degree spine on an Esee 5 or another hard use bushcraft style knife. Thanks! 🙏🏽

[@grantsimms2009]

For a future episode you should ask people what knife they carry and what they use it for. Then you guys show how you would sharpen the knife.

[@WorkSharpOutdoor]

Thanks for the suggestion Grant, we might just have to do that!

[@harveybeekerthegreysquirre8262]

Would be nice if the tool grinding attachment was offered again ..

[@daza5877]

Are there any plans to make a battery pack version

[@normanblack9502]

Good video. I sharpen at a farmers market. I see all those tools but the auger on any typical day. A trick I've learned for sharpening small clippers where the sharpener cannot get to the whole blade. I take the belt off, turn it inside out and put it back on the sharpener. I can get into even the sharpest angle on clippers. This only works for me using the 1/2" belts on the Mk1, perhaps it would work on the Mk2 - haven't gotten one yet.. I don't recommend using this method on any but the most difficult access tools. There is a possibility that extended use could wear the machine or the rollers.

[@N0BEAR]

I'm guessing that the work sharp holds up fairly well to consistent (almost industrial) use like you described. Would you agree with that?

[@normanblack9502]

@@N0BEAR Yes, But I've learned that I need to have more than one one the table to sharpen. With the Ken Onion model I have 3, each with a different grit belt. That way I am not having to take time to switch belts and most importantly no one machine gets over used. I've burned up two machines since I was running them non stop for hours at a time. Now, no problem, I've been using the same 3 for many months. I do have another new one still in the box as backup. I also have the knife making attachment and have used that a lot. But I have to be careful not to over use it since it runs continuously. Whereas the Ken Onion is pulsed.

[@normanblack9502]

@@N0BEAR A qualified Yes. But I've burned up 3 units learning that continuous use will hurt them. Thant is why I now have 4 units on the table. No one unit is overused. When I note that I've used one KO too much I trade off. Especially if there is a lot of work for the unit attached to the knife shaping attachment. That unit gets turned on and is in constant use when a knife needs to be repaired. . Verses the other units which all are "pulsed" when used. I may make further refinements in usage as time goes on. For right now I haven't ruined any units through over use in several months.

Can the scissors guide sharp swiss army knife scissors?

[@kellybethard30]

Does this tool sharpen hole saw bits?

[@bigbawls81]

Can you sharpen wood chisels with this devise? If so, how would you do that. Thanks for the video. It was very helpful.

[@WorkSharpOutdoor]

Good question - We make a wood tool sharpener called the WS3000 which is specifically designed to sharpen chisels and hand planes. I don't recommend the Mk.2 for chisels because the belts are flexible and create a convex edge rather than a flat grind like you find on chisels.

[@bigbawls81]

@@WorkSharpOutdoor Thanks. I'll check out the WS3000.

[@madpeters]

Cannot figure out a way to sharpen left-handed scissors, as the housing prevents laying the blade flat upon the guide in order to draw the blade in the opposite direction Any suggestions?

[@rafeeq7716]

Where can I buy one in south Africa?

[@Mark49007]

I have the older version of Work Sharp Knife and Tool Sharpener WSKTS-W and I bought a lot of belts, can I use these belts also for MK.2?

[@WorkSharpOutdoor]

Yep, you are good to go on the new version!

How do i remove the guide on the ken onion edition

[@ericwiltse8054]

Do the mark 2belts fit the Ken onion ?

[@harveybeekerthegreysquirre8262]

I'm sure just a little narrower like the 6000 grit belt is 1/2"×12" vs the 3/4"×12" for the standard Ken onion belts

[@alkishararis9347]

👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@randallgreene6428]

One question can the mark 2 sharpen a sword that has a blunt edge?

[@WorkSharpOutdoor]

You can resharpen a blade that large with the Mk.2 but if you're looking to grind in a new edge from blunt you would need something larger like a 2x72 grinder.

[@harveybeekerthegreysquirre8262]

With shovels does it really matter if the sharpener is facing away from the edge or towards the edge ?

[@WorkSharpOutdoor]

No, it doesn't matter at all.

[@harveybeekerthegreysquirre8262]

@@WorkSharpOutdoor awesome thanks

[@harveybeekerthegreysquirre8262]

120 grit ?

[@ElaineWatteyne]

IS it possible to sharpen chisels with the Work Sharp Mark 2

[@WorkSharpOutdoor]

Due to the flex in the belt, we don't recommend sharpening chisels with the Mk.2. We do offer the WS3000 however that is specifically designed for chisel sharpening 👍

Great video boys , but I like to use a vise for all garden tools , free hand holding is not as accurate as if it was in a vise .

i can do all of that with my belt sander .

[@RenderingsToTheMAX]

well...this is basically a mini belt sander so....yeah

[@obiorah1]

Safety glasses must be worn when your doing belt sharpening,

[@viseshseernam39]

how about machetes

[@WorkSharpOutdoor]

Yep you can sharpen a machete. If its not too long you could even sharpen it in the guides like any other knife and if it is too long you could sharpen it in a vise with the cassette rotated forward, free hand.

[@jakegibson6096]

Are putty knives even supposed to be sharpened I’ve never used or seen a sharp one😂

[@guitarcleveland]

I bought this to sharpen mower blades, and all it did was round the edges because the belt isn't stiff enough. It didnt even make kitchen knives razor sharp. I took it back. This thing is junk.

[@Mrv1960]

Lol learn to use it correctly which you never did.

[@frankg3072]

I would love to see a left handed version. I'm a lefty and really can't do to much with my right hand.
