Still loving mine too. If you recall, I got it the same week you got that one. I actually do enjoy sitting and watching videos and sharpening in hand like your showed. Very therapeutic

[@NeevesKnives]

Absolutely

[@bettersteps]

This is the only knife sharpener that has ever worked for me. I love this thing. It does a fantastic job. No complaints. Razor sharp.

[@jeremyspaulding7735]

A piece of gear I definitely want to get and add to my edc bag. Great review 👍

[@guycarrwuzright7189]

Great video man! Short and too the point. I’ve watched your video four times now.

[@mikereese15]

Awesome thorough review. Newer to knives and very new to sharpening and figured this was a good option to start. Glad I picked it up.

[@SnapshotRC]

Same boat here

[@kylearmstrong21]

Thanks for a great review! Working on becoming better at sharpening and learning about different systems and this helps.

[@NeevesKnives]

I have an entire sharpening play list that could probably help out a lot

[@robertdeland3390]

I've never been very good at sharpening. Too in a hurry. After watching "how too" videos for this device, I bought two, one in the house, one in the garage. Beautiful sharp edge on first try! Wow! From incompetent to expert just like that! I've now sharpened everything in sight. This thing is great!

I agree it is the perfect item to do a quick touch up out in the field. It is a product them have had out awhile and it just seems to fill a niche. Thanks for the review on the system and all your thoughts on it.

[@NeevesKnives]

Thanks Rick

[@fldiverjc4496]

Great video!!! I love mine. I keep one on bench and one had a permanent spot in my tackle box. Great little system. I agree, work sharp puts out systems that just work...best bang for buck IMHO. Keep up the great content.

[@RubyD80]

This is an absolutely brilliant bit of gear. I leave one at work as well as in my edc bag, and it's been a godsend! Not sure if you've tried the more comprehensive version of this (Guided sharpening system), but it's also an absolute winner!

[@ericwiltse8054]

Once things I really like about worksharp is their educational videos. I didn't understand an apex from micro bevel when started my hobby a couple years ago

[@NeevesKnives]

Yeah I think understanding the apex and how to create a perfect one is what leads to incredible edges

[@edwardschofield6692]

Jerad once again a good review on a good product.I admire your skill of putting a perfect edge on what ever you use.

[@NeevesKnives]

Thanks Edward, I hope it help people in some kind of way to see it

[@WinterXI]

looking at one of these for my chef knives at work, $80 nzd so pretty cheap for a full package....im not really keen on spending much just to sharpen my knives but diamond stones will be nice

[@RealBoiJare]

This sharpener is great value. Very good for people learning to sharpen

[@flatasacueball6326]

Just got one of these. I already had a guided system with a clamp, rods, and 5 stones, and despite that I'll be using the worksharp field sharpener to sharpen my knives from now on. I was able to take knives from too dull to cut paper, to shaving sharp in a few minutes each, and with almost no practice. I struggled with the decision for a while, because I already have a sharpening system, and several other sharpening tools and methods. I'm really glad I got one though, because none of them work as well and as fast as this. The rod/guide system will put a cleaner, factory-like edge on knives, but I have to set up rods, clamp the knife, oil the stones, etc. This may not get the perfect factory-like scratch pattern, but it will get a knife just as sharp, if not sharper, and it will do it in under 2 minutes. The guides will make it quicker, but the 25° ceramic guide will give you a secondary bevel. If you have the angle control, you don't have to use them, and I recommend setting your own angle to get better results. I strongly recommend this sharpener to anyone who has difficulty getting knives really sharp, or just wants to be able to sharpen a knife very well and very quickly while on the go.

[@benjaminkim7693]

That was my first sharpener! Just retired them. I always took em off and held the plate in hand to sharpen.

[@NeevesKnives]

Thats what i did with my other work sharp plates, when i first started sharpening i did all in hand no bench

[@SeemsLogical]

The whole "move the stone, not the knife" technique is also how the boy scouts (and Ray Mears) teach you to whittle with a knife. Keep your knife arm static, brace it against your knee if you're seated/kneeling and pull the stick into the blade. If I ever end up buying this system that would feel almost natural to me from my time in scouts.

[@NeevesKnives]

Exactly!! And once you get the motion down its very easy, and when i keep it kind of close to my vision i can see all the edge movements to adjust accordingly

[@BassMaster.454]

I guess that seems logical. In my boy scouts I remember we made animals out of soap and eventually basswood.

[@Sam-gf1eb]

I was taught to move the knife in scouts.

[@williamtoney2599]

Put a nail or screw up thru the lanyard hole to hold it in place on your work bench….

[@timbo4374]

Good review! I've thought about getting one, but I don't know that I really need it. I've been just holding my KME stones in hand and free handing lately, then finishing off with my Spyderco Doublestuff. Been pretty happy with my results. I still may get one to check it out though. If nothing else, it would be a good item to throw in my pack for camping.

[@NeevesKnives]

Its a great thing to have in a bag or bugout bag/ camping, and i love sharpening in hand not on the bench i can sit back and enjoy

[@timbo4374]

@@NeevesKnives Same here. I actually don't remember the last time I used the full KME, but the stones are pretty good, and work fine to just hold in your hand. I've really started to like free hand now that I'm getting much better at it. I do have a cheap set of bench stones, but I much prefer to do hand held. I'm better at it that way too, I guess because I've done it that way more.

[@DLT704]

I have been free hand sharpening on stones and diamonds back and forth. For several years. I Bought this product over the weekend and it’s amazing what it can accomplish and the speed it does it

[@233kosta]

[@NeevesKnives]

[@stenozel720]

Sorry I wanted to ask you a question: after sharpening how should the diamond stones, the ceramic stiks and the small strop be cleaned? Thank you.

[@NeevesKnives]

Diamond plates can be just wiped or rinsed, Ceramic should be scrubbed or washed with bar keepers friend also rust erasers work great on Ceramic

[@danhatton2229]

Nice video. There company has excellent customer service

[@monoecoco5819]

This sharpener is awesome and great price

[@havoso]

So when I sharpen, do I use all four sides? When I strop on the leather, if there are pieces of stone, this will scratch my knives while I strop?

[@NeevesKnives]

You can use both diamonds then strop in that case no worries on stropping, if you do go all the way through then you can still strop but if you dont take your plates off and clean them then you will get grt in your strop that could lead to scratches, but thats more for mirror edges thats done on other systems, so if you have a fresh polished edge from a kme, you might not want to use this strop after its been used a lot, but when your out in the field using your knife its the least of your worries

[@egbluesuede1220]

I keep seeing vids where people show off $1000 sharpeners and I just don't get it. I'm replacing a Spyderco Sharpmaker which I no longer have and think this just simply works. I keep watching videos trying to convince myself I should spend more on a sharpener because I own so many expensive knives, but after watching the results you are getting with this simple tool I'm ready to go to my local knife store and just get one for myself. And yes.....I will subscribe as well. Like your whole damn channel.

[@mencken8]

It can be seen in the first 0:30 that this tool relies on manually maintaining the correct angle on the edge while sharpening. This may work tor people who spend a lot of time sharpening knives, and will be able to maintain the required skill set. As a home cook, I will stick with the Lansky system, which maintains the correct edge angle automatically, and which I have used successfully for years.

@@NeevesKnives that's the system I forwarded to work sharp as far as having a very simple stone carriage holder.....and their price point is spot on, I'm certain the cost of such a carrier wouldn't be high....the carrier on the precision adjust is 4" x 1/2" as far as stones go.... I need pester them more....lol

[@joseasf96]

I asked them and was told the green compound on the leather strop just has chromium oxide, no aluminum. I deduce that means no carcinogens.

Are you reviewing the product or trying to teach us how to not hurt ourselves.

[@antsharp7665]

I couldn't not disagree with the other reviewers here more. Very frustrating and disappointing product. I started off with a blunt hunting knife and despite following the tutorials to the letter for over and hour - I still had a blunt hunting knife. Avoid this product.

[@backyardpie]

Sounds like user error. Lol I took a rusted knife I found in a tool box that had chipped edges, cleaned it up, put a new edge on it with the 300 grit and within 30min of using this product I had an edge that went from dull as a butter knife to shaving. I'm sure I can make it sharper if I spent more time working with it and getting more aquatinted with using this tool.

[@viv1951]

I've recently purchased this and have restored an edge with multiple chips to nearly razor sharp on my first attempt. This is a very good sharpener for the price point.

[@Mrig12000]

I think it depends on the steel angle and knife. I have some knifes that I can get wicked sharp with this sharpener. I have a bushcraft knife that is very difficult to sharpen. The only way I can get it sharp is on another sharpening system and then I switch over to a very fine diamond stone to finish. I can touch it up with this however not nearly hair popping sharp like I can get with my other method. If you are still ending up with a blunt knife try giving it a steaper angle I've had success with that. But some sharpening systems are not for you like I cannot sharpen for the life of me on whetstones. Im pretty sure I'm keeping the same angle I've even used guides I've given up and found systems that work for me. But don't get discouraged with one system if you cannot get one knife sharp.
