THESE ARE JUNK! I've use mine twice in the 4 years I've owned it to sharpen 12 kitchen knives kept in the box. i tried to use it yesterday and the motor binds with the belt on and the motor smokes. put a new belt on and it still binds. looks like the belt is too tight but i never messed with anything. JUNK!

Exactly! A friend had one that he brought me to repair. He bought it new and used it a couple times. We’ll long story short Worksharp wants $60 for a new one cause it’s out of warranty, it’s brand new! As far as I can tell they used a sub standard elec motor (Exmek P/N PP0004319) it seems to have a faulty voltage dropping resistor that cause the full wave bridge rectifier burn up. 3:24 THE THING IS BRAND NEW!!!! And $60 for a new one FUCK THAT!!

Thanks Doug, very informative. My work sharp arrives tomorrow and Iv'e already watched several of your videos which pertain to the knives/tools which I intend to sharpen. My Dad always told me, "Don't jump into anything blind and stupid". Thanks to you I won't have to.

Love the sharpener but man it has really rounded off every tip I have and has like put a belly in knives towards handle. No matter how much I read the manual still is doing it.
@Membersacc4 жыл бұрын
Turn the sharpener off when your blades tip is on the belt and do not remove it until the belt stops.

Used mine 10-15 times, just stopped working. I think the motor blew out, I heard a POP and that was the end. I've written the company asking for help, we'll see what happends. Very disappointed.

I have a KO Work Sharp and the right angle guard appears to be at a slightly different angle than the left guard. Is this normal? Is it possible for the guards to get out of alignment? The unit has never been dropped or damaged.

Too many dont get it lol. Read comments on any of these videos. People rounding tips and damaging the lower edge of the blade. Technique and reading the directions would eliminate this

Have had a Work Sharp for few years, not bad system does get knives sharp indeed. Now that it has been some time am looking into a 1 x 30 belt sander, to do exactly the same thing. Price difference...not much honestly. better range of belts more surface area. May have to go free hand but price comparison is a good view and much more in way of motor to do things.

Most of my knives come with a smaller angle to one side. This is the only company I know that shows it, but it is quite common - look at the pic in the product description smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XV3H7XL/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It's a O.K. unit for quick and dirty sharpening on cheap knives but when I want to put an edge on a nice knife I go to the stones. It's slow but I don't have to worry about damage to the blade.

Both ways of sharpening will slice paper like butter and this take 1/100 of the time you’d spend on a stone. Way easier
@natural-born_pilot4 жыл бұрын
This unit will sharpen a knife just as sharp as the stones will. It’s just faster and easier if you know what your doing.
