PLEASE READ: JFYI I REALIZED AFTER USING A FLASH LIGHT THAT THE CLAMPS DO HAVE RUBBER ON THEM, I DO NOT THINK THE SCRATCH CAME FROM THE SYSTEM BUT PROBABLY HAPPENED IN USE, GREAT JOB WORK SHARP YOU GUYS MADE AN INCREDIBLE SYSTEM, ARE A GREAT COMPANY.

Bro, thanks for the great vid as always I just ordered one from bladehq 49.99!

[@NeevesKnives]

@@kevinAuman1 awesome! I know most places have been selling out pretty fast, even the place i bought mine sold out in a day, but said it was only a week or two and they would have more

[@kevinAuman1]

@@NeevesKnives yeah I actually went on their website directly and they have them in stock but it was 59.99 but they had a link for bladeHQ n I figured seeing how them guys already had all my info n everything might as well buy from there and turns out it saved me ten bucks too!

[@NeevesKnives]

@@kevinAuman1 thats awesome!

[@1964krazyeric]

I was wondering about this because other videos said it had something there. I have this system on its way to me but have many systems including a Chinese knockoff of another system with a similar blade clamp and I use a thin magnetic tape inside the jaws and it works great as it is rubberized.

[@Rainforest9102]

Thanks for the great review. I really appreciate the tip on the use of the ceramic stone. Great content, please keep it coming. I will definitely be buying one of these in the future.

[@NeevesKnives]

Its highly reccomended great system

[@DanielVBlades]

That contraption is genius. Thanks for the vid.

[@questionmark5463]

WorkSharp makes some great stuff. I bought their guided sharpening system 5 years ago, plus the kit with the extra grits and strop. For my needs.. (kitchen and pocket knives).. It's great. Really high quality and well thought out. The only thing that I don't use much is the strop since I have a larger one I made that's better for bigger kitchen knives and fixed blades. Even the ceramic field sharpener is super useful and has come in handy many times when traveling or camping. This looks interesting as well. Might get one! Thanks for the review. Very informative.

[@NeevesKnives]

Yeah i have also reviewed the field sharpener and it is ver useful i enjoy trying different sharpening systems for review but im a freehander through and through

[@OneMinuteKnifeReview]

Thanks for another wonderful sharpening video. You are becoming the sharpening expert on here! Love it!

Very interesting how you used the ceramic stone. Great tip. Great video brother

[@matthewharris7373]

Welp, after watching this and Slicey’s review I’m definitely gonna get one of these. I’ve been on the lookout for something better than my old Lansky but have always been hesitant to spend the money for something like a KME. This appears to be absolutely perfect. Exactly what I’ve been waiting on. Thanks for the review brother. 👍🤘

[@NeevesKnives]

I reccomend this way over the lansky which i do have with the base and this system is far better

[@1964krazyeric]

I wish I had time to watch every video you two put out but I do no have the time. I ordered one of these last week and cannot wait for it to come and also for new, finer stone options.

[@jd4edc]

I just learned about the premium upgrade kit for this that actually adds more steps into the system… and a cool storage case. 👍🏼 thanks for reviewing. This is great for someone like me just learning proper sharpening technique.

[@NeevesKnives]

Yeah I have a video on the upgrade kit, and I have a video on aftermarket parts, one is a stone holder attachment that allows you to get any kind of stones you want

[@jd4edc]

@@NeevesKnives awesome, I’ll check it out. This system is great because I’ve acid etch and stone washed a couple budget knives to learn 👍🏼🙌🏼

[@ronaldbarnes8302]

Have used mine several times and love it. You gave some nice tips which I will use in the future. Nice review, thanks!

[@NeevesKnives]

There's some aftermarket attachments available now as well

[@user-wr6wo6vr8r]

I was going to comment about this sharpening system on your last sharpening video, glad you reviewed it

[@Abby_Normal_1969]

Great vid. I don't mind a toothy edge if the grit pattern is at an angle. I use a Lansky but need to refine my stroke to get a more consistent edge. I am still quite a novice, but I have lots of D2 and VG10 to practice with. I like the rotating stones on your Worksharp. Sees pretty convenient.

[@NeevesKnives]

And you can get a polished edge, it just takes a little more time than it would with one more stone before the ceramic, but a toothy edge is fantastic i love a toothy edge

[@Whipacharm127]

Great review J. Can you just sweep the blade when it's on the system are do you have to go up and down on the blade when it's clamped

[@kirkveesaert9595]

Bravo ! Another terrific and informative sharpening review !

[@ryanmicklich3912]

Ouch!!! That Rockstead got you good, glad you didn't cut a tendon or something. Looks like a great sharpening system for an awesome price, I'll definitely be buying one. Thanks for all your sharpening tips, not just this video but all your sharpening videos. I have learned a ton watching your content. Keep up the great work.

Awesome Ryan I appreciate you commenting and watching

Hey thank you for the sub, and its a great system especially for the $ its hard to beat

[@gonzza35]

Just wow !cant wait to get my one,very impressed,hope ill get the same result 👍🔪

[@chopperh4090]

I have the power work sharp and have messed up too many blades. Still use it but more for hard grinding and then I have been just using the work sharp field sharpener. Have been thinking about a kme but for $50 I think I need to try this!

[@NeevesKnives]

This is definitely great the electric one is great with the grinder, this one gives you v grinds vs convex from the other

[@everydaybladesinc]

After watching your review I’m going to do a follow up on mine. I was doing several things wrong.

[@NeevesKnives]

Yeah im also going to do one after using it a bunch of times my self

[@alb5874]

Nice video,thanks. Have you done one on the Hapstone sharpener, similar model?

[@NeevesKnives]

I have not

[@lostfound8112]

Wow I was looking at cheap systems. I can make this more rigid. Thank you!

[@grandprixgtpjy]

When I use my ceramic stone I move it in small circles while using full length of the stone. Seems to work better for me than the side to side.

[@NeevesKnives]

Ok ok thank you im definitely going to try that and im going to do an update on this once ive used it a lot

[@clems6989]

Definitely buy the accessory kit with the unit. More stones more options and a nice case to keep it all together..

[@badcompany1313]

Putting a small mirror underneath the k ice can help you see where to stop with the tip. Also cutting a small wooden wedge to place under the clamp can help with the flex, or just buy the 3d printed block. So far I’m very happy with this sharpener! My knives are sharper than they’ve ever been. Definitely gonna need to get some double sided tape and sandpaper because reproducing with the 320 sure can take time. Thanks for the review!

[@NeevesKnives]

I have multiple videos on this system including multiple aftermarket parts videos to massively improve it

[@badcompany1313]

@@NeevesKnives checking those out now thanks for all the great content man!

[@tariqkamil7853]

Been waiting for ur full review on this. For me, this is pretty good. I’m maxed out on knives. Para 3 s45vn, quiet carry chase and eddy both cpm20 cv, native 5 LC200N, lil native comp lock, isonzo cleaver and large Pilar d2. That doesn’t include all my Japanese leather knives and European leather skiving knives, all are chisel grind, which I free hand and 2 kiridashis single and double bevels. This is what I would like to see worksharp offer, 300/600/900 and 1200/ceramic fine/ceramic extra fine.

[@NeevesKnives]

Yeah i agree, im sure after a bit they will sell extra parts most likely even a strop

[@poisonousnut]

so this was in Stock on Blade HQ for about 3 hours on Dec 18th. glad i purchased mine as soon as i got the email saying it was back in stock. get yours whenever you see it available!

Im trying to get another one to give away

[@jordanhess2061]

Is it difficult to get a full flat grind clamped In this so both sides are even ? Have one coming in the mail today and most of my knives are full flat grind. I should have thought about that before buying maybe.

I have the same one owned it about a year.I found the clamping mechanism to be junk.And I found I could never quite get the right angle.I made a jig for my vise and use it that way.I am new to sharping knives and not good at it😬Thanks for the video and sharing your thoughts.

[@NeevesKnives]

My clamp has help up well so far but have heard of others having issues I'm sure they would take care of it if you speak with them

[@andrewlasure7828]

Very nice affordable system, I see this being a big seller. Especially when they introduce other stones/ grit options & strop.

[@NeevesKnives]

Most definitely even like this its absolutely a winner, the price is something you cant beat for what you get

[@alecwesterholm9122]

Very similar to the lansky too

I’m not sure how long they been out now but they do have an expansion stone kit for this now. It’s been a few months now anyways.

[@iamnoone6607]

I just got this system. I have some new production knives. When you get a new knife, do you do anything to it? Or, do you leave it the way it is out of the box until you wear it down some?

[@RonInTexas]

Holy Smoke! Wish I had known about that system. Great demo, ty.

[@jeremyspaulding7735]

Definitely a pretty awesome looking system. Hopefully if it sells well they will offer different rods with different stone combos maybe like a two rod add on system to cover the in betweens and maybe even a strop. Great review 👍

[@NeevesKnives]

They are going to make extras and replacement stones, they are selling like hot cakes

[@Torqd_Off]

They do have extra rods and a leather one… I bought a triangle plastic piece off eBay and it came with 14 different grits of “lapping films” cut to size for attaching to the triangle plastic piece with adhesive on the back. They’re color coded to identify what grit they are.

[@godforever27]

I can't believe they are charging $80 for the upgrade stones and it only goes to 800 grit. I ordered a regular $60 worksharp adjust but am pondering the thought of canceling my order and instead by ruixin pro008 sharpening system and buy the separate pack of long thin diamond stones for a grand total of $75. It goes from 120 grit up to 2000 grit.

[@jeremycatches9766]

The other video I watched did have rubber layers in the clamp and there was a piece of cardboard that fit inside the clamp while in storage to help prevent the rubber from sticking.

[@OGBladeReviews]

At the price, very nice! Still, I trust my KME diamond stones to last longer. Possibly better quality on KME diamond, and wider variety. However, I like this setup for simplicity and accuracy. I tape my blades for show knives on the KME, but only about 2/3 of the blade, leaving room for the clamp, then don't need to worry about clamping over the tape. Nice review, compelling piece of sharpening gear! BTW, I like your sideways technique for polishing - learned something!

[@NeevesKnives]

Yeah i messed up theres actually rubber on the clamp, but the diamonds from them are usually pretty good sincevthese are very small the definitely wont last as long but they will have replacement stones

[@goyslop4289]

There's plenty of aftermarket blanks for these now, I have 120 grit up to 1 micron hones.

[@roningraves6563]

Great video sir. Thanks. Strange, but all the other footage I've seen has had rubber coating inside the clamps. Also some folks are bench clamping the base down to the work area. But otherwise, definitely promising as a more budget friendly guided system. Heck, I wish my EdgePro had the same angle adjustment system as the WorkSharp seems easier to just dial-in to the exact angle you want. 👍🏻

[@NeevesKnives]

I messed up i can see the rubber it was very hard to tell the difference without shining a light on it, but it does have the rubber, and clamping it down is nice but honestly its no problem at all just using it without, you just have to hold the back end of it

[@bbreall75]

Super sharpening system, at an incredible price! Very good review! Greetings from Bulgaria!

[@NeevesKnives]

👋

[@Tensioner]

Just finished my first s30v sharpen on this. I'll skip to the end, piece of cake. Blade was plenty dull but not clobbered, went nice and easy, used a touch of water to stay smooth and no problemo. I did clean the ceramic stone 3-4 times during finishing, do it by a sink with some scouring powder handy and it takes about 10 seconds.-Keeps it cutting good (and it does cut well).

[@NeevesKnives]

Awesome! Yeah i clean my ceramic with bar keepers friend

[@NeevesKnives]

Awesome! Im going to make a follow up video after a little while and a bunch of uses

[@Torqd_Off]

I’m wondering how best to clean the abrasives during sharpening and then after usage… I’m afraid the cleaner I might use will dissolve the adhesives holding them on???

[@keithm.9598]

Cant wait for mine to show up in a couple days. One thing though is by using the ceramic like that you are putting a more uneven wear pattern on the stone than by going up and down.

[@NeevesKnives]

I go up and down also, i always finish one direction, since i go through many stones im pretty good at wearing my stones as evenly as possible

[@knife-wife586]

Just got this - thanks for video - not quite learned the correct angles yet

I have the same problem with Lansky.I can not get a real mirror finish.Also to get a hair cutting blade I have to go to ultra fine Spyderco sharpener at the end phase.The Lansky hard diamond does not last many knives. Draw two white arrows at the base to show the direction every time.Very good review.Thank you!

[@NeevesKnives]

This can absolutely give you a pretty good mirror polish it just takes a little time, also depending on the steel, some steels polish easier, but with little time your very close to perfect on most steels, the lansky, if you use diamond to fine, then the polishing stone then the saphire, you can get a mirror, and with some steels an aluminum oxide before the polish, you can get a great edge on a lansky as well, this is much easier though and much easier to work with

[@bill64gr]

Part two of my comment about the sharpener from work sharp I kind of agree with the pressure but how late can you go with that mean we did not do anything if this is the method they want to go with this system OK that’s fine to make the men stronger OK that’s one of my major concerns about it is the play room is round in the holder because of the magnets that hold it there’s a lot of wobble it happens I modified mine to fix the problem with the weight I just bought the bottom off and had to go steal gear around

Great video, and thanks for the easy to follow instructions. Will be ordering my system soon. Was wondering if you, Jerad, offered sharpening service to the public (for a fee, of course)?

I've always freehanded my knives and never used a set-up like this. What's it like for giving feedback between your hands, stone and blade? The price and set-up look good for someone starting out, and to you a well choreographed video sir

[@NeevesKnives]

Its great , you have to be careful not to put pressure, so not to make angle changes across the edge but its fantastic, i highly recommend it

[@dwainsw4076]

How would this system work with a small slip joint knife with a slim blade? For example a pen blade on a case peanut pattern. It looks like the thickness of the clamp might be a problem.

[@NeevesKnives]

I thibk it would work just fine as long as the blade is longer than 1 inch

GREAT INFORMATION THANKS. Gotta have a work sharp, much easier than the MORE EXPENSIVE system 😁😊🦊🐺

[@thalegacy6]

Not the fastest way to sharpen a knife as I was using MDF wheels but this is FAR more accurate. I have this system and I absolutely love this, mine has the rubber feet inside the grip so no scratching on my blade. Buy it!

[@NeevesKnives]

Yeah mine does as well i made a mistake and couldnt see them at first

[@seasterl]

Have you tried the Wicked Edge sharpener before? It seems to follow a similar method. Question: How do you ensure correct angle for blades that are deep vs shallow when clamped in. The geometry would be different even if the setting of angle degrees was the same. Does Work Sharp have an accurate way to determine what angle is already on a knife from the factory?

[@NeevesKnives]

You have to get an angle finder, I put one that I recommend in the description, and no I haven't tried the wicked edge

[@alb5874]

Another quick question if you don't mind. Would you recommend this to someone who would be primarily sharpening kitchen knives. The types of knives you get in a typical set (chef's through paring). And what other systems would you recommend looking at for this intended purpose. Thanks

[@NeevesKnives]

I would absolutely, theres a couple other systems on Amazon that are for kitchen knives, you want to make sure the part your getting have a base, i did a quick measurement and you will have noproblem doing kitchen knives at all with this system

verry good review Adrien From French!

[@stevenburris376]

Will it do bigger knifes then pocket 🤔

[@Old_School69]

Have you tried the warthog systems? I am considering the one with the rods set on an angle and you pull your knife down and through. Have you seen or heard bad things about it?

[@Old_School69]

Or the lansky diamond system, those are the two I'm considering. What diamond stone or strop do you use to get the mirror edge? Where can I buy something like that

[@bench175]

I have about zero experience sharpening knives, but one tip I thought of is to take a picture of where on the spine you clamped, so you can reproduce the same angles the next time you sharpen. Otherwise, clamping on a different spot on the spine will change the angles, creating more work

[@NeevesKnives]

Yeah you can definitely do that i dont mind the little change but it can definitely help with saving steel, i usually freehand so i can match an angle pretty well

[@kdiggs525]

So has anyone tried to sharpen m390 or M4 on this? I love this system for the money. And I think they made an accessories pack for it that you can buy. But has anyone done any knives with super steel that came out good? I'm new to this but I have some knives I'm practing on. But I really do like this system and how it's setup. Thanks neeeves knives for this video I needed it

[@mikeo8790]

How does this work on knives like the esee laser strike or esee 6? ³/¹⁶ thick 5+ inches long?

20° probably shaving, but the paper test can be a good test if you know what to listen and look for, a knife thats not very sharp can still cut paper but it will sound different, the quieter the better

Can't wait till it's available in Australia

Just two things I would recommend first thing I found that Windex is the best lubricant for ceramic stones, and also if you want to clean your ceramic Stones just by a little package of erasers.if you rub an eraser over ceramic it'll instantly take off any buildup that's on there within two seconds. Your worksharp ceramic side could be completely black and if you taking eraser and just rub up and down literally within five to ten seconds it's completely White. And just for your information Inside the clamp it actually is lined with rubber.

[@NeevesKnives]

Ive used eraser many times i have many large ceramic stones, and it works for surface but not great for long build up, i mean it works but bar keepers friend works the best for cleaning ceramic stones that have heavy build up, but you can clean them at your work bench with almost anything

[@1130jawz]

Looks really good. Probably with the 3000 grit ruby stone then a strop will give it a mirror finish!

[@NeevesKnives]

Yeah its pretty close to a mirror now so the ruby stone definitely would, also just spending more time with the ceramic will also or a stropping progression

[@gyrocompa]

Nice piece of kit ! could someone give me one or two websites where it can be purchased ? For us in Europe it is quite hard to buy our knives and knife-stuff, since in Europe nothing is distributed, and when it is dietributed nothing is in stock...

@@NeevesKnives Super, thanks for the information.

Part three the weight problem how I did that so that was I took the bottom off and I put the steel gear inside the housing right there that I made fit in this gear weighs and a couple more pounds maybe three pretty heavy and that helped lot my recommendation to workshirt make the footprint wider get the base is the wider never take care of the problem about it morning to go towards you when your shower add in the wobble that’s in your magnetic system that you have for the sharper yeah it’s still needs work stronger magnets that’s my review I would recommend this would I buy one for a gift yes theses are my thoughts from actually using this sharpener from Work Sharp

[@Owens_Racing]

Wonder if a Machinists Jack would work to brace the clamp from flexing.

[@NeevesKnives]

Watch my aftermarket parts video on this system there's many parts including that

[@Bear-nu8xm]

I love it except ,i am worried i can't get a mirror edge with 2 stones and a ceramic.

[@hayden1590]

I have gotten close with really light pressure and one direction passes. Fwiw.

[@turbotim007]

One the sharpening stones they need to make them magnetic plates so you can change them as you need too. Kinda like their field sharpener.

[@NeevesKnives]

Yeah that would be perfect, i think they have more options now

[@konnan216]

I have had one since the day they came out and have used it extensively. Firstly it should come with some extra o rings on the end of the rod. You constantly end up hitting it and it gradually slides down the rod as you sharpen. It doesn't weigh enough and the center of gravity should be in the base. You have to basically hold your hand on top of it all the time to keep it from moving around. The clamp could use more support under it to keep it from bouncing up and down a little while you sharpen. Lastly my ceramic stone was not perfectly flat. It had waves running through it length wise and I had to lap it on some of my diamond plates. That could be a big issue if someone doesn't have diamonds to lap it since that is almost the only thing harder then ceramic to cut it. I do want to note that it is a amazing sharpener for what it is considering the price. If there was one sharpening system I would tell someone to buy this is it. Anyone can basically get a hair whittling edge with a little practice and a strop to finish up on.

[@NeevesKnives]

I agree with everything you said, and im also going to talk about flattening my ceramic stone in the long term review, im happy to hear they are going to start making replacement stones and accessories soon

[@konnan216]

@@NeevesKnives According to their site you can already buy replacement stones for the 320 600 and ceramic. I do also agree with you that there should be a higher grit stone before the ceramic. Ceramic isn't that aggressive and it's kind of a jump to it. It takes to much time if you want to really remove all the 600 scratches.

[@russcagle6965]

Looks like a great system for the $. I'm sure more stones are coming. Maybe a base clamp too. I wonder if some rubber dip on the blade clamps (think the handles of pliers) would work? I'm very interested in one. Thanks Jerad! ✌️

[@NeevesKnives]

Yes its a great system, also the edge on the civivi came out fantastic, but that was freehanded to mirror edge

[@russcagle6965]

Very cool! I'm looking forward to the review! 🖖

[@EvilTwinRC51]

Just put a little bit of blue painters tape on back of blade.

Actually i messed up it does have rubber on the clamp i couldn't see it before but after shining a light i could see it clearly, also i need glasses

What's the make and model of the knife being sharpened? I love the colour of the scales.

[@NeevesKnives]

Thats jade g10 or natural g10, many knives come with it, you can leave it plain or dye them any color you wish, the knife is the cjrb feldspar mini

[@sharamkh]

Hi! Can you sharpen a scandi grind without a secondary bevel with this?

[@NeevesKnives]

Possibly if the angle fits depending on the knife its going to be about the angle

[@to2s134]

@@NeevesKnives What about a fixed blade then. Would it handle a 7-8 inch blade with a thick spine? Where do you think it's limits are? Thank you for a good review. I subbed.

[@SQLKC]

I thought I had a good edge until I got this product. OMG the edge you get using this....

[@SQLKC]

Anyone know how I can verify the angle with a digital angle finder?

[@OmegaMan999]

I have one. I have to say that I am having some trouble with it. I am having trouble figuring out what angle to use and also the three knives I have already sharpened with it just aren't getting that sharp. They are getting mildly sharp.

[@NeevesKnives]

So 20° should be a safe angle I usually go for a bit lower around 17 but 20 is a good angle, you have to make sure you get the entire bevel on both sides and get a burr on both sides, that is what will get you a sharp edge, I have a Sharpening play list that might help most is freehand but it still translates

[@zoroaster3053]

Use a pencil eraser to remove metal from the ceramic stones. Pink square eraser you would use in school as a kid will work.

[@maximumbuilds8080]

I personally recommend the white squares as follow up from the pink ones. The white ones are a little bit more tough so they should get anything that the pink misses

[@memokwest]

What about using the blade grinding attachment for the final finish at 12.000 grit at the same angle? Will it work?

[@NeevesKnives]

Oh i wouldnt do that this does a vgrind and the other one does a convex, and its very close to a perfect polish, i could spend more time and get it perfectly if i really wanted or get a progressive stropping compound

[@memokwest]

@@NeevesKnives yeah, I know about the convex but thought it wouldn't affect the edge with the 12.000 grit

[@NeevesKnives]

@@memokwest im sure it would help polish but it would probably take to bite from the edge possibly, id reccomend just using a regular stropping progression

[@memokwest]

@@NeevesKnives thanks! I will possibly try a nail polisher with 4000 grit. Perhaps this will work 😉

[@brandonevans9521]

How do you think this would work with a dagger blade like a microtech?

[@NeevesKnives]

It would work but you want to trace where you clamp and match it up perfectly, when doing the other side

[@bamafaninky861]

Are there any ways to bolt or clamp the base?

[@NeevesKnives]

Im sure you could use a c clamp or drill a hole and bolt it with no problem

What angle would you recommend for a civivi pintail? It's super thin behind the edge.

Between 17 and 20° imo

I got this for Christmas, and I get them so much sharper than I did with the field sharpener. Not quite as sharp as yours but I don't have a strop yet 😅

Everything takes a bit of time practice and understanding, focus on your burr removal, a Strop is extremely important but you should be able to do great work with out, btw a lot of things can be used as a Strop like news paper. Watch my aftermarket attachments video lots of upgrades
