WORK SHARP FIELD SHARPENER TEST & REVIEW

[@BluetoothBlades]

The broadhead slots are for safely removing the broadheads from the arrow shaft for sharpening then re tightening the broadhead back on the arrow shaft.

[@robertvandiver8429]

Agreed I have 1 myself and I use it for the same purposes

[@jeremyspaulding7735]

Looks like a really sweet sharpening system. Perfect to throw in the edc bag. Great review 👍

[@NeevesKnives]

Its perfect for the bag or car

[@christianmcbride9905]

Thanks for this video Jerred, i recently grabbed this very sharpener at a local store and up until now i had mixed thoughts on the thing. Sure i was getting better edges than i had been before that, but other people online n shit were saying how fantastic thier results were with the same object. Obviously i was doing something wrong. So i found and watched your video on this hand held sharpener and finally im getting some good edges! Im going to keep at it here and i know ill get better n better, thank you so much brother

[@NeevesKnives]

That's awesome Christian if your interested I do have more videos on it, and a ton of Sharpening videos that will help with any system in my Sharpening playlist

[@spiritedwhiskey4640]

AMAZING. Can't wait to see your use and review of the ken onion edition with the blade grinder attachment! Those arrow pieces are so you can unscrew and screw on the arrow heads. That way you can take an arrow head off and sharpen it!!

[@NeevesKnives]

Yeah see i knew it was something to do with arrows. And im going to try and get as much time on it this week so i can get a good review on it asap

[@matthewadler1329]

I'm still not sure how you are actually supposed to use this to sharpen broadheads, but everything else on this system is super intuitive and easy to use. I love this field sharpener, and its actually good enough to function as an only sharpener if you are just wanting to maintain edc folders. As a backup and travel system, its fantastic. Worksharp is the best. Everything they make is good and priced so well, it's actually hard to believe.

[@NeevesKnives]

I think you use the plate that you take off

[@robertvandiver8429]

I believe that it is used to only turn your broadheads to tighten and for loosing them. I own 1 of these and it's pretty damn good

[@jacobselman4718]

@@robertvandiver8429I think you’re right. I have this one and the Montana Knife Company version, which also has a built in wrench. I think the guide angle on the MKC sharpener is 17 and 20 degrees.

[@OneMinuteKnifeReview]

I literally just bought the field sharpener today! Ironic, wanted the diamond stones. Thanks for the video!

[@NeevesKnives]

Thats awesome, hopefully my video can help so e im going to do another one after some real use

[@kirkveesaert9595]

Tough Enough ! I got a Spyderco Gauntlet a few months ago, super duper video !

[@rickkerans8485]

Got a great edge on that system. I have all 3. That field sharpener. The one that will rock if you want it to. Also the Ken Onion with the blade grinder. Pretty much just use it on outdoor fixed blades, shears, loppers and some of my longer blades. It is always good watching you because sometimes I think I am not getting the burr should have had it by now then probably rush it. Now I know to just wait it will happen.

[@NeevesKnives]

Yeah they sent that as well, so im going to get to test the whole system which is amazing, but theres times im the same way and it takes a lot longer to get the burr than ive ever shown on video, but i just relax and tell myself im not in a race and im not pushing for time im pushing for a great edge and sometimes it takes time

[@Jef]

Worksharp sent you guys some serious stuff! I'm jealous! Connie uses one of these at work, to help customers out, who ask. With the angle guide, she is able to actually use it quite well. Of course, I keep trying to ween her into free handing, but those training wheels are hard to remove.

[@NeevesKnives]

Great analogy, and it actually works quite well the Ken onion works better than i woulda thought, im sure il just get better and better on it to, I mean its not like a freehand edge, but for people who like or dont mind factory edges its great, and for people that dont have the time or patience to learn, but like training wheels riding a bike without them is much much better. After im done if you want me to send it just say the word.

[@matthewlipari8508]

I picked one up based on your recommendation and I love it!! Super easy to use. Shapes up an edge in no time which is what I wanted it for. Thanks for the heads up!!

[@robertvandiver8429]

Agreed! I own 1 myself and I love it too

[@ryanmorman7253]

Love the sound of a new diamond scrape!

[@NeevesKnives]

I know right!

[@dualsportoutdoors]

Love this system. I keep one in my backpack at all times

[@CSomeWood]

Love the field sharpener. I've been using it for a while. Its pretty damn good

[@NeevesKnives]

Yeah its a pretty good little tool, im going to use as much as possible and get another video up after some real good use

[@Torqd_Off]

Why do I put scratches across the surface of my blade when I use that sharpening system??? And the handheld diamond sharpener that the diamond surfaces pull out of the handle and stick in the handle to use it too? I'm looking for someone to do a little something something to my Gail Bradley... take a little bit of the frame and scales down to get more access to the lockbar. I believe you have a video where you did the exact same thing. But yeah, I was wondering if you would be interested in doing three knives for me... a Hinderer Eklipse in Magnacut, the Gail Bradley in M4 of course and a St Nick's knives Manix 2 XL in 4V... I sent my Eklipse back to the factory and I wasn't impressed with the sharpening they did. At all!!!

[@cindahaddock6376]

I store a pencil eraser in mine to clean the ceramic rods and diamond pad

[@Torqd_Off]

Like that... pencil eraser on the ceramic rods. I'm going to try it. They get dirty quickly!!!

[@freddykelly4405]

The ceramic rod is a 25° level

[@Torqd_Off]

Did you put any oil on the strop??? How about using anything on the a diamond sharpener???

[@jamespark9061]

Hello! I very much appreciate your videos. Can you use this system to sharpen Maxamet?

[@Neal_Sporin]

Is there any metal left?

[@kirivanyam5969]

Thanks for the review, just used the Amazon link from this video to order mine. Says will deliver same day.

[@brianbartulis9709]

Just got one. ima thinking of putting a nail inside the void so I can stabilize it some in the field using the hole. Maybe it would help me not cut myself touching up a longer blade.

[@petervu9773]

thats pretty impressive bro ! you made it look easy

[@NeevesKnives]

Soon im going to do a long term video on this system

[@6900pilot]

I'm thinking another good idea would be to put in a bench vice with soft grip magnetic attachments. You could free up the other hand for more stability.. Great video I just ordered one for my swiss knives.. 👍🏻

[@NeevesKnives]

👊

[@Drewzilla666]

Hey Jared, I’m looking into getting sharpening done by you but I don’t have Instagram so I can’t see any of your links. Is there anyway around using Instagram? Thanks buddy! I love your channel!

[@brandonb8468]

The part under the plate is a wrench for the arrow heads.

[@klaassiersma4892]

Start on the other side next time to even it up. On some knifes it is easyer to remove the thumbstud first. I use mine a lot, works great on s90v and other hard stuff to. Top tip, you can put a pair of polishing films from a edge pro apex on the backside of your plates too ( you only have to shorten them a bit), i use a green and a yellow one.

[@NeevesKnives]

Nice, I did not think about that thanks Klaas

[@mrblauer1]

I have used this kit extensively, it is my go to for small pocket knife blades. My only real problem with it is that it can be very difficult to access the edge of the plates. This can be a problem when the handle gets in the way.

[@NeevesKnives]

You can always remove them and use them separately from the device but i know what you mean

[@Simon.C1047]

Really skillfully done I learned a lot thank you great show 👍 👌

[@BluetoothBlades]

Also BOTH plates need to be removed for the loosening and tightening process.

[@fldiverjc4496]

Great video showing how to use this incredible little piece of kit. I love mine. Purchased three....one stays on bench, one in the bug out bag and the other lives in my tackle box. You have to tip your hat to the folks at work sharp...their products just flat out work!!

[@NeevesKnives]

So true and they are incredible people in this community

[@fldiverjc4496]

[@makkaraimuri]

Got the KO + BGA attachment. Been really happy with that combo. Fast and effective. Got the KO strop belts too.

[@NeevesKnives]

When you sharpen do you use the attachment or the regular sharpener

[@makkaraimuri]

Attachment all the way! Better angles and a whole lot faster. I don't like the regular hence it scratches the blade if you don't clean the guides constantly.. and I don't like to use masking tape.. too much of a hassle.

[@NeevesKnives]

@@makkaraimuri gotcha thank you i wasnt even thinking about that but now i definitely am

[@makkaraimuri]

@@NeevesKnives Remember that work sharp makes a convexed edge.. the attachment has a wheel that can be repositioned so you can make the edge less convexed.

[@just-inedc2381]

I’ve been considering buying either this one or the other one that’s similar to this that work sharp makes but it’s a little different. I think the other one was called the work sharp guided sharpening system.

[@NeevesKnives]

Yeah i think that one is a bit bigger i have some of the plates that go on that one, I think they are both great if your going to do most of your sharpening on it id get the larger one

[@zero2three1]

It's very convenient. The abrasives don't last very long but I don't care. It does get my knives work sharp. Everyone should have one.

[@NeevesKnives]

Yeah with my other diamond plates When im aggressive with them they dont last very long but when i dont use pressure and let the stones do the cutting and take care of them they last the moneys worth for sure

[@trainrecked]

I hope this works on my deer knife..but a stainless Rapala fish knife..I cannot get an edge at all. I prefer full size ceramic rods.i ve just spent a full hour sharpening ..dull still .I have had much better luck with large stones and ceramic rods..ugh..Can I return this junk to Walmart.? I just spent $35 buck I'd like to get back.A tiny gimmick in my honest opinion.

[@greekveteran2715]

That arrowhead shaped parts, are there to help you screw the arrowheads safely on the arrow shaft.

[@NeevesKnives]

See i knew they were for arrow heads in some way, thanks Veteran

[@havoso]

Bkadehq has one similar branded darex, are these sharpeners good for all types of knife steel?

[@NeevesKnives]

Yes, since it has the diamond plates and you can always use the ceramic if you need to

[@rhino5419]

Hello. I can't think of anyone better suited to review sharpening supplies. Just on the last video i noticed something you do that you must have talked about but that i missed. The angle of the blade to the stone! Not the angle of the edge but that what looks like a 45° angle of the blade to the stone. I know you showed the scratch pattern close up before but even then it didn't sink in as to why it was like that. I tried it and my knives just went from sharp to razor sharp. Thanks.

[@NeevesKnives]

Yes Totally, your scratch pattern will always do better at an angle, factory edges are always straight up and down which works, but when its at an angle your grit is always going the direction your cutting wich makes for cleaner cuts

[@teplotexnik]

I got one recently. I wonder how long will it last?

[@NeevesKnives]

It will last quite a while and you can always order new plates if they wear out

[@ovejorro5428]

Not that it is very important, but a friend of mine has it and when I tested it, the 20° guide didn't seem to meet my bevel that was obtained with the 20° setting of the Spyderco's SHARPMAKER. When I placed my bevel flat to the stone ( with no shadows being cast) the angle of it seemed more acute than that of the FIELD SHARPENEE. Is it possible that the angles are a bit off? It looked to me that the 20° guide was set more to what it looked 25°. I think this is really extrange cause it's really easy for them to be accurate on the design, but... Perhaps my impression failed. I don't know.

[@Watchamacallit]

Is enough to get a protractor for 99 cents and check the angle of the sharp maker wedge

[@aznelite325]

One thing to consider is that the built-in guides technically base the edge angle off of the primary grind laying flat against them, not the true center axis of the blade. Because the Sharpmaker only contacts the edge and the user holds the knife vertical, the point of reference for setting an angle is different. The WS field sharpener's edge angle will depend on the knife's grind and stock thickness, regardless of if it's a true 20 deg.

[@NeevesKnives]

👍

[@NeevesKnives]

I havent double checked it, but theres variables that can cause differences, after i have some real time with it im sure il check it, but i dont doubt if its not perfect its probably very close, and holding an angle wont always be perfect but close

[@ovejorro5428]

​@@NeevesKnives Sorry, sorry, sorry!!!🙏🙏🙏 My friend's sharpener is not the FIELD SHARPENER, is the GUIDED SHARPENING SYSTEM™ WITH PIVOT-RESPONSE™ with two possible angles 20º and 17º, also from WORK SHARP. It's equally too estrange that the angles could not be precise. As I said my perception might have been wrong.

[@endless3cho]

Just bought one of these.

[@klrktsr]

Would that work well for 20CV or S30VN/S45VN?

[@robertm9848]

Yes for sure...diamonds will cut any steel used in knives

[@harf849]

Have u tried this on super steels? M390, 20CV, s90v?

[@NeevesKnives]

Absolutely

[@forbo327]

How do you know when you have a burr. Sorry but new to sharpening

[@NeevesKnives]

You can feel them, check out my sharpening play list i talk about it, also if you watch your grit pattern you can see when you are going to get it, but you rub your finger a certain way and you can feel it, but more importantly is the grt pattern

I never knew this video was here ty very much bro

[@caseytyler8326]

Wow that course diamond is so course they sound of that first pass

[@NeevesKnives]

Yeah they are always extra aggressive the first couple edges they smooth out a bit after a few Sharpenings

I noticed that no one ever talks about the amount of pressure used to strop or on any other parts.

The plates are 20. The ceramic rod and strop are 25 for a micro bevel

Hey Jared, those slots inside the Knife Sharpener those so you could take the broadheads or the arrow tips off of the arrow it’s like a wrench, I also have one of those electric machines but mines not ken onion I’ve been trying to trade it for a knife I got the machine and a whole bunch of brand new belts

Oh Gotchaa thank you, you should make a post on ig and say you want to make a trade im sure someone will bite
