Thanks for making this video, I definitely learned some things. I bought my Ken Onion edition about 18 months ago and was duly impressed with how fast and easy sharpening on it was. I loaned it to a couple of friends to try and they loved it too. After hemming and hawing over the blade grinding attachment, I finally purchased one and I’m glad I did. It really added to the versatility of the system. Thanks for making a great product.

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.

They are not professionals , they don't even know that a knife has 2 edges , primary and secondary its knives 101 . When you sharpen you knife , you make a v sharp edge , ok , as time goes on that v shape will become duller , because you did not address the bigger secondary V edge , not all knives have it but most kitchen knives do . If you want to do it like this , im sure you have motor , make a wooden disk , take some abrasive paste and do it that way . you never have to buy or make belts , one tube of abrasive will hold you for who know couple years . But that is not the best way to do it , because again you address only the tip of the knife , or the primary edge you do not address the secondary edge that is equally as important . Do you know why Razor is so sharp , because its thin , once you start eating away in to your knife your edge will become fatter and fatter because you did not thin it down when you sharpened the primary edge .

I love my blade grinding attachment! I've given several as gifts to friends as gifts. I use it almost almost exclusively for all my knives. There is a small learning curve but once you get the hang of it you'll be able to get a razor sharp edge and keep it razor sharp with ease. Let the burr form! Once you get the burr, it's simply a matter of reducing the burr down to a polished edge. I have several sharpening systems but this one is my favorite.

The shop is waiting to get more in and I will then have one. Nick's endorsement and high praise of this machine clinched the sale. This video helps me to understand what I forgot during the club demo and it introduces me to your great product line.

I just purchased the Ken Onion Edition. I have a Bubba Blade , 10", filet knife that I have not been able to get the sharpness that is required to filet large satwater fish that I catch. Using the Work Sharp Ken Onion starting with the X65 Belt at low to medimum speed, the knife took shape. After following the instructions of 6 to 10 pulls of the knife I switched to the X22 Belt and again followed the instructions.I then moved on to the X4 and did what the instructions told me to do. Wow, my filet knife is sharp and usable for the first time. Can't wait to get all my knives in tip top shape. Thank you Work Sharp for the best sharping tool that I have ever used. All of my settings for the filet knife were set at 20 degrees.

So glad I got the elite attachment. It's so fantastic and handy. Ditched my fancy/expensive manual rod types and am so pleased. Very few limitations, hours and hours and hours saved with superior results. After you "figure it out", it will take your blades to infinity and beyond, lol. Recommend their strop cloth belt and then a leather strop belt (leather does do better than their cloth belts, especially if you like shiny edges). Excellent tool!

I especially enjoyed the part where you show about making knives and just playing around with the machine and getting to know it. I have recently purchased the Elite kit and I have yet to play with the blade grinder attachment because I haven’t read the manual I just started playing with the Ken Onion machine because it was less intimidating. But after watching your video I’m going to break it out tomorrow and get to know my machine. I have always been a knife collector and tried many different sharpening systems that I did not care for because it took too long. But with this Ken Onion Elite, I have found my love for sharpening knives. It is quick and easy to use. I really shouldn’t have been intimidated by the blade grinder attachment but I didn’t wanna mess up my knives LOL. Just wanted to say thank you again! I’m looking forward to watching more of your videos.

That's exactly the video I needed. I have butchered (pun intended) a couple knives lately and this will really help me fix the error in my ways...and the knives. Just last week I did a horrible job on the point of an old custom Camillus Mk2 knife that a previous owner had expertly modified into a spear point, and I felt sick to my stomach when I trashed it while attempting to sharpen it. After watching this, I am optimistic. I just ordered the Blade Grinding Attachment and some belts to upgrade my KO Work Sharp kit. I just learned a ton of much needed knowledge and I am definitely going to watch this again. Can't wait to get started with the new attachment, get some much needed practice and confidence, and fix my Mk2 spear point! Thanks very much!

I started with the original sharpener, than I bought the Ken Onion model than I bought the grinder attachment for it. I love all of them. Unless a blade is seriously messed up I can have it slicing paper and shaving hair in 10 minutes or less, usually less. Oh ya, great video guys.

I have had this Ken Onion edition knife sharpener for 2 to 3 years. I read the instruction manual about forming the bur, setting the angle, etc - but somehow I missed that I am supposed to be sharpening the knife on the top portion of the belt. With the angle set - intuitively - it seems that is was meant to bring the knife directly to the belt from the flat plate. The angles made no sense!. So, I essentially just went to winging it on the top belt at my own angle. I have not yet been able to get a knife razor sharp and was about to give up on this machine. I am very glad that I watched the video. I can go back to my sharpener and use it as intended and see if I can get that razor edge. As a side note, the work sharp chisel sharpener with the round plates is OUTSTANDING. My chisels are always razor sharp, slicing off end grain with ease. I have mostly been honing my knives on the top of the wheel. I have 2 leather hone attachments for different grits. This works really great on the left side of the knife. The right side is a challenge and I have cut many a sanding disk cutting the left side. Only use it to hone now. Still the knife will ultimately make some kind of cut in the leather and that will catch when right side sharpening. I was thinking modifying with a swift to reverse polarity as this machine was the only one that would get my knives truly sharp. After watching the tutorial I will definitely go back to the knife sharpener and give it another chance. Does anyone have any recommendations for knife honing polish. I have a green bar that seems to work well. I have read (on the advertisement) that you should start with the white bar first, then the green bar to finish - if you are looking for a shiny edge. I still love the feeling to passing a tool across a good stone, but the machines are so much fasters.

What I was doing before I bought this was placing my belt sander in the vice, using my judgement I held the angle and put an edge on. This tool sets the angle and I hold the knife flat, this is more comfortable and the belt change is so much easier.

And after getting a deeper explanation from you, Kyle, regarding the belts, including the cloth stropping belts, I just purchased them. I didn’t really consider the Ken Onion original system. It would be nice to be able to do scissors easily and consistently. But that seems pretty extravagant just for that extra. I’ll have to see how easy the results are for scissors after I get some sea legs with the Elite system first.

Kyle, that was an awesome explanation of the Elite system! I have been using mine since this summer and wish this had been out earlier--it would have shortened my learning curve and saved some trial and error. I learned quite a lot from your clear, and concise explanation. Your passion for your craft really comes through. My one question is that aside from using the stiff belt kit, is there a way to get a flatter grind on my knife than the convex grind inherit in the slack belt system? I am thinking of either some tips or suggestions you might have for the current system, or perhaps some refinements or additional features for a Blade Grinding Attachment v2.0. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge.

Good video. I learned a lot from the tip. I have all the WS sharpenning tools. They’re all great. Actually, I did not know you have polishing compounds for the stroping belts.

Does the elite system still come with the original Ken Onion system with the guides?? I want to use the elite system for my bigger knives and axes. But the original Ken Onion system with the guides would be great for my smaller knives. If it comes with both I'm definitely buying one! If you could let me know I'd greatly appreciate it!!

I have the Ken Onion knife sharper and it works great. Gets the knives razor-sharp too. I only use the blade grinder attachment....seems to work best for me.

I'm in the market for a power sharpener right now. As of now I think I'm sold on the Ken onion kit. O especially love that I can use stropping belts with it. 😁🇺🇲

I have definitely been wanting one of those really bad, mabie this tax return? Love your products use them all the time. Have a tool box like yours with the guided sharpening system in it with an assortment of knife maintinace tools for working on knives for other people, have a small kit in my EDC bag with the field sharpener so I can work on knives anywhere. Small side business. Love you guys.

Sooo, here is an idea: if the key is to hold the blade horizontally, why don't you include a little magnetic bubble level that you can snap onto your knife while sharpening? Just a litte thing, maybe a penny diameter size?

This is an incredibly helpful video. The hands-on examples and detailed explanations of what all can be done with the KO Work Sharp are very motivating. Is it easily possible to make a knife blank from scratch as long as the steel is cut close to the desired shape to begin with?

I would love to see more about the knife making process, especially the grinding part. The only reason that I would think to get a BGA would be to either thin out blade grinds or to bring up the blade finish to a higher grit.
