How To Use The Work Sharp Guided Field Sharpener - Video User's Guide

[@spanishnavaja]

If you're on the fence about getting one of these, just do it already. It's so worth it. I've been wanting to buy one of these for months, but kept buying knives instead. I finally got an amazon gift card for Christmas and decided to use it for this sharpener and some green compound. I don't know why I took so long to finally get one, it's not even expensive. It's completely worth the time and money. Mine just came in today and I've been sharpening my knives for like the last 5 hours. It's really therapeutic too. Plus seeing one of your dull knives go back to hair popping sharp is awesome.

[@aloysiuswojocockowicz3855]

I'm going tp buy one right now!

[@frogsnacks]

@@aloysiuswojocockowicz3855 Did you get it yet?

[@aloysiuswojocockowicz3855]

@@frogsnacks yes. I've only tried it on my M7 bayonet. I'm not sure if I just suck at sharpening, or if it's just a hard knife to sharpen. I definitely got it sharper than it was. Then I kept going and it seemed to get less sharp. So I don't know.

[@dannyalaniz7506]

@@aloysiuswojocockowicz3855 maybe the steel on the knife just has a hard time getting an edge I use one for all my knife and it works like magic and it’s way cheaper then buying wet stones !

[@kaceyweaver8073]

Awesome! I just ordered one of these. Just found out about them today when I bought my Toor Anaconda and I’m glad this will be worth it

[@ironman2326]

My step-dad took me to Cabellas to pick out my gift for Christmas this year. Went straight to the sharpeners and got one of these. Been wanting one for months. I love it!

[@frankskyle1]

The sharpener came in the mail today. I never dreamed I'd be blown away by a sharpener, but it works so so well!

[@navyvet05]

I was blown away too. If you had a vagina we could get married and live and sharpen happily ever after.

[@Viper1000100]

I bought this today. I was able to sharpen all my knives. I even found my old boy scouts knife that was in a drawer and was really dull because I never sharpened it. It’s about 25 years old. I took extra time on it and it’s like a razor now. Very good product.

[@WorkSharpOutdoor]

We love hearing this! Great work, take pride in that edge!

[@BassMaster.454]

My boy scouts knife was completely rounded because I would sharpen it on the back of a coffee mug. When I got into sharpening, I put a mirror edge on it.

[@Tusk2001]

I work in the tree & landscaping business as ground crew. I also own a knife sharpening business. I use this almost everyday to sharpen something. I once used the ceramic to sharpen a brush cutter. I never would’ve gotten one; but I had a lot of issues ordering my Pro Precision Adjust, that they sent this to me as a complimentary, “we’re sorry for the headache,” gift. I keep this with me all of the time. Oh, and I love the ProPA as well. This is the best, unexpected, thing that I’ve gotten. Use it everyday on knives, shears, axes, yes, and even brush cutter blades!!!

[@sillagescents]

This thing is freaking great. I’m a master sharpener after 10 minutes of YT training, and I’m putting a razor edge on everything from my Benchmade to souvenir knives I got 30 years ago!

[@brutisfletcher]

I just purchased this, from a local hardware store, yesterday. I’d put it off for well over a year as I have never been impressed by a field sharpener. They’re usually good in a pinch at best. It won’t replace your bench stones or wet stones but this thing is INCREDIBLE for what it is!!!

[@valeriehart4634]

Everybody who owns one needs to watch this video to find out all the things it can do. So much thought was put into it - an amazing tool !

[@robertg3592]

Thanks. Learned a lot. Had mine for 5 years but learned from your tips.

[@deucebigs9860]

The perfect sharper in general. The perfect portable sharpener. The perfect learning sharpener. Really well done.

[@derschtiken]

I've had this sharpener in my hunting pack for years and it has never failed to do the job. Great product!

[@josephdehaven639]

Simple question how many people did not know the actual sharpening. Stones lifted up to reveal a secret compartment. Because I saw that with instructions and everything. And it literally blew my mind. I cannot believe I didn't know this was here and I've had this for 3 months. My God, that is amazing. I was just super curious about making sure. I was using it the correct way and then. Boom that pops up I'm legitimately blown away right now. Does product lip from an eight out of ten to a ten out of ten

[@timokomulainen]

Impressed at the quality of this video. Really clear and concise presentation.

[@Terry-7]

I received one of these sharpeners as a gift and I must say it is probably the best sharpener I have used to date. I use it almost daily to touch up kitchen knives and I take it camping with me to keep my outdoor knives sharp as well. It's very versatile and handy to have around. I did learn a few things about this sharpener by watching this video that I did not know it could do. Now I have a whole new reason to play with it when I get home, lol!

[@jackreeves3001]

I got several of your sharpeners. They all well thought out. The manufacturering craftsmanship is impeccable. Thanks

[@clemansky3320]

Such a fantastic design, you guys really are leading the sharpening industry.

[@zachstuff]

Fabulous walk through!! Keep this with me everyday! Favorite feature of this sharpener is the variety of methods to sharpen along with the strop!

[@fuzzchorus5271]

7 years in use and still amazing

[@andrewk757]

Received one of these this weekend for my birthday, all i can say is i didn't realize how dull my knifes were. great little tool.

[@Tom-uj4uf]

Wow. Just wow. This sharpener is absolutely awesome. I bought one for my dad as a Christmas present and now I just received a second one for me because I just felt like I needed my own. And this video guide is perfect as well.

[@jontharpe1275]

never owned a knife before and had to get 4 spyderco blades for commercial diving. I had to purchase this sharpener because its essential i have a sharp knife. This video made things very clear, helped me tons!

[@nothing55rk]

I own 5 of these and have gifted 3 more... Best system ever invented!!!

[@johnsimon3324]

Love this sharpener!! I've been sharpening my knives for many years and this tool takes the place of many sharpening tools in one easy to use model. I guess the craziest thing I've sharpened would be a 45° router bit. Made like new again!!

[@Woolsocks]

This thing works great I haven’t bought a new blade for my utility knife for a year I keep 5 with me and just sharpen them up when I’m done with the job, also brought the edge on my hunting knife and fillet knife to a razor sharp edge! It’s a great product!

[@joeframo3347]

You gave us a professional way of sharpening with the greatest tool ever Thank you so much for your professionalism I see people trying to use that sharpener on here and there not doing it right but you're 100% right on how you're doing it Thank you again 👍

[@allanshpeley4284]

I just got mine this afternoon and had no problem sharpening my bushcraft knife as a relative noob to this stuff. Worked like a charm.

[@MtnBadger]

I have one of these and it is fantastic for all kinds of things. I've used mine to the point I need to replace it and that's *a lot.* I keep all my pocket/kitchen/belt knives sharp, touch up fishing hooks and more. I couldn't give it a better recommendation. Just buy one and quit over thinking it. 😆

[@thomasclifton8731]

This singlehandedly changed my knife sharpening experience.im going yo upgrade to the gss with upgrade soon but i love how good and versatile this system is.thanks worksharp and god bless you all for manufacturing in the USA

[@chriswhite2686]

I've had this sharpener for over a yr. I use it damn near every day. Always gotta keep a edge on my blades. Def a good cheap sharpener.

[@roemerjonker284]

Worksharp is my favorite sharpener brand and the guided field sharpener is my favorite sharpener and I believe that the guided field sharpener 100% works

[@kabul0607]

I have four. I love the hell out of them!! I even take one to work with me to sharpen other people’s knives when I get bored , cause why not

[@E.D.C_aesthetic]

This this is worth its weight in GOLD 1000 times over, such a good sharpener to keep in a go bag or to just to leave in the truck

[@MrMann703]

I love mine, I've had it for years, I don't know how many times I've used it but I'm still using the original diamond plates. It puts an edge on a dull blade fast, easy and quicker than a wet stone, mine still has life in it but I will be needing to find replacement plates eventually. Well worth owning one.

[@bettersteps]

Fantastic video. I'll reference this video many times. I could not ask for more. Wish I had purchased this sharpener first. ....live and learn.

[@yazming1720]

I just bought this sharpener & I swear it sharpen my knife 🔪 very easily. At first without reading the directions I would lay it against the 20° angle & drag it down towards me.... believe me it made my knife really sharp. Then I read the directions & realized my mistake & followed directions wish really did make sense. THANK YOU WORKSHARP 😊 Yazmin Venice Beach CA ⛱👍💯👍💯👍

[@la_old_salt2241]

Just picked this sharpener up today. I think I made a great purchase!

[@janardisutono1271]

Just bought it today.. it's trully the best combo sharpener in market!! it small but can do big jobs..i sharpen all my knives from SAK to machetes without any problem at all

[@dean9138]

Big thanks to TAC PACK for including this in the APRIL box for me. This thing is AMAZING, one pass on my pocket knife and it's razor sharp. 10/10

[@michaelmatthews4168]

Got mine today. Love it already after sharpening just one knife. Thanks guys!

[@SouthernOutdoorRevolution]

I absolutely love the Work Sharp Field Sharpener! In fact, I love them so much I have 3, one in the house, one in my truck, and one in my pack, so I don’t leave home without one. It’s hand down the best field sharpener on the market and will dress up an edge if that is all that’s needed or take a dull knife to razor sharp! Like I said, one is always with me hunting, trout fishing or whatever my adventure may be.

[@cwsmith17]

Absolutely amazing sharpener. Selling replacement parts for your sharpener was a great idea. Thanks for your products!

[@supramike67]

I'm gonna add on my review with everyone else on here..... I bought my sharpener last week before Christmas after months debating on whether or not I was gonna spend big money and those pro-grade wet sharpening stones. I will say this, after first use and trying it on one of my pocket knives to see if I can get a bit sharper, I was left speechless on how extremely well it worked on sharpening it, it left it razor sharp. After that test, I went sharpener crazy and began even sharpening some of my kitchen knives that I mainly rely on to filet or skin meats. As of now, they are hela sharp and ready for use. Now Keep in mind for those new to sharpening knives, TAKE YOUR TIME. Patience is key to honing the skill to sharpen your knives well, 5-10 passes on 1 side and repeat on the other. Luckily with this field sharpener, it's very easy to do.

[@tymccutchen]

Just got for xmas. Wanted one for awhile. My buddy has one, he sold me on it. Nice help with the video. Thx"

[@ay_yal5217]

Would be nice to see a paper test on this channel one of these days.

[@Chalz108]

It works. I got one at dunhams and after doing 1 knife I was sharpening every blade in the house! Razor sharp.

[@Chalz108]

Get one

[@AnimatedHugh]

It works really well. Its totally worth it.

[@SeanFactotum]

Really good field sharpener. Just got mine and have been sharpening cheap knives around the house. If you’ve ever used stones for sharpening there’s not any learning curve for it. Well thought out and a great little tool.

[@robertolopezjr9798]

[@Streaker2017]

Purchased this off my Matco tools distributor, cause I want to try a new way of sharpening my knives on the go. Now gonna sharpen my homemade 6inch long karambit knife.

[@HWCism]

I have six of these and have gifted many to friends.

[@jamesdakis826]

Wonderful and instructive. Thank you for this video.

[@joelleckron8377]

Thanks for this video, the instructions did come rolled up inside, I found them once I figured how to access the inside! The instructions were roiled up so tighly and help together so that trying to unroll then they tore so bad they were useless.

[@AKJJSIM]

I’ve had the blue one for about a year and use it often. Santa 🎅🏻 brought my two young Boy Scout, fishing, hunters one each for Xmas. Great all purpose tool. If I could change anything it would be an adjustable angle guide.

[@BetterEveryShave]

Thanks for the demonstration. I looked at a bunch of options for sharpeners and nothing seemed to have the versatility, ease of use, or portability of this product. I bought one about a year ago and have been using it regularly ever since. I don't get outdoors very often but it's just as useful around the house. I have even sharpened larger kitchen knives. I'm really glad that I decided to try it.

[@voodooloukerensky3884]

Love this Tool! Ive had it for a week and it has sharpened knives that you could ride on cross country and not cut your butt to arm hair shaving sharp in minutes.

[@haroldconner6265]

I appreciate the proper vocabulary! Great how-to vid!

[@capnmatt41]

Stay tuned to the end for some hot tips! Funny timing, Josh! I touched up my EDC neck knife on this tool for this week's TNG. I'm definitely not as proficient as you on this tool yet but I'm a super fan of it and am working to make this the thing I gift most often. I'm of the opinion one belongs in the center console (or glovebox) of every truck. Thanks for making it and thanks too for making such an informative video about it.

[@capnmatt41]

I forgot to mention, my favorite feature is that you ship it with the strop pre-loaded with compound. Well played.

[@bloodycheetah3596]

I bought two. One for me and one for my sister. Love it

[@dprosser2194]

As a first timer, this video still leave me some questions. Can we get one as if I have no clue about knifes or sharpening them. I would only be 50% confident that I know what I’m doing after watching

[@washingtonstatepicker3460]

I love mine! Blows my mind!

[@carsonwells1785]

Outstanding review. I have been looking at one of these as a sort of take-it-anywhere backup sharpening system. After listening to you, I'm inclined to sell off the twenty sharpening machines, kits and systems I now own and make this my only one😂. Thanks for the great video.

[@iFlowWithTheGo]

Excellent video and valuable tips

[@WorkSharpOutdoor]

Glad it was helpful!

[@bwax1542]

Excellent video.There are so many good features on this sharpener. But I like both ceramic rods on the Field Sharpener, and especially so for the smaller ceramic rod because without it I could never get my smaller serrations sharp again. Thanks for sharing.

[@nightsquats]

My field sharpener lives on my kitchen counter for quick edc blade touch ups and comes with me on any vacation or outing. It is my favorite "do all" sharpener, though I own and love a few Work Sharp products and look forward to grabbing the precision adjust sharpener soon!

[@TonyNL87]

Got mine today in the mail after doing this stuff with whetstones for 20 years. I'm never going back to whetstones!😮 This works so much faster!! The small size takes some getting used to but I'm already changing my technique. And my first knife edge with this thing is so extremely sharp when you cut a piece of paper the little weight the blade has is enough to make it cut the paper all the way through! But I also didn't use the guide because I like my edge to be a little thinner. But it takes just a few minutes with this thing. So using it is a blast. Now lets see how long the different components are gonna last. Because I know there are a number of ways to get the diamond stuff on and the best way is if it's plated on.

[@alkishararis9347]

Always in my backpack!!! 😉

[@shultz550]

I've had my ken onion for many yrs and absolutely love it but needed something to carry with me and this works great. I'm just touching up the edges and hadn't sharpened a dull knife yet as I keep em all razor sharp with the K.O but I'm extremely pleased with this tool..

Finally gotten 2 last week; one tucked n my bugout bag, the other in my constant reach to sharpen my edges…awesome awesome product with great reviews…..a must have for all knives enthusiasts 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼😎

[@Michael-hs6ii]

well I've not sharpened anything crazy, but you did when you sharpened my mind

[@meyou9369]

I got one and the strop compound was completely dried out and just flaked all over the place. I thought it was strange that my knife edges were green after each use. I read that I could put some oil on it or something like that but I don't have that and I wasn't aware I needed extra things to use it. I finally took it back, it's just too messy. Maybe I will try another store.

[@joeframo3347]

Josh thank you for sharing this video it's very essential to have a sharpener you can carry with you while you're camping and during outdoors I think this is a great product you have very essential it's a must have item for your knives thank you for sharing this great video You're super awesome 😎👍🤠🖐️👌✅

[@joeframo3347]

Hey Josh that's a great tool for out the field I'm so happy there's a company that's developing it I have their workshop indoor sharpener but that's great to carry cuz you can sharpen your knife up really quick out in the field which I think is cool while I'm walking my dog and let my dog in the park I could sit down outside and sharpen my knives real nice thank you for sharing

[@matthewferreira2176]

Great video.

[@pauliedogs]

I own this sharpener (actually have the Benchmade branded version but they are the same) and I’m watching this video learning how to use it. So I should just resharpen all my knives to a 20 degree angle? Not all knives are at 20 deg. If the blade I’m sharpening isn’t 20 deg I guess I can adjust the angle to whatever I want based on the actual angle?

[@WorkSharpOutdoor]

20 is a good angle for most knives but you can certainly adjust if needed. The guides are there to help you build muscle memory not to make you sharpen a the one angle for all your knives.

[@johngaither5903]

You talked about restoring compound to the leather. Do you have a recommendation? I don't see that you sell that.

[@MrHQQX]

I absolutely love mine when I'm traveling its always with me one slight design change I'd like to see is a way to sharpen small serrations (triangular ceramic rod) not that I do that often but still if it could do that I would really be complete sharpening system in a tiny package. The craziest thing I've sharpen on it was probably my 14-inch bolo machete, granted it wasn't the best tool for the job but it worked

[@namtatehtmit3056]

I just got mine and I gotta say at the very least having a portable strop is worth every penny.

[@lloydsmith2778]

[@dennismccolley1380]

I sharpend flea market stainless steel blade. Esee 1095. Vg 10 Spyderco. Case Chrome Van diem Benchmade S30v All will shave hair off my arm. So this does really work. If you are out in the field and you need to fix a knife to cut again this will do the trick. It'll set a new edge on a knife and sharpen it start to finish. Because of its design it will help someone new to sharpening knives. Just follow the instructions.

[@brianlocal3]

I just picked one up, I really like the feel and the variability My issue is I have free hand sharpened with small 4-6” hand held stones/diamond plates my entire life and my natural angle is somewhere between 15-17degree so the 20 degree guide kinda throws me off and it doesn’t get my full bevel Overall happy with the sharpener 😊

[@1OFGODSOWN]
