It's nearly the perfect sharpener and I've had quite a few including earlier models from Worksharp. The problem is you can't set a new edge very quickly with a 220 grit plate. You really need to put out an 80 or 100 grit plate. And it's been a while so I'm wondering when these will become available?

Hi there! I’ve found that sharpening my SAK, with the blades being made the way they are, if I keep the 20° angle, one side ends up with a really pronounced edge whilst the other side seems normal. Sorry had to edit, as I noticed I wasn’t asking a question! My question is, what exactly to do about it, do I try to find the angle for the opposite side so both sides to the edge are symmetrical? Thanks!!!

Cool tool, question when progressing through the stones are you supposed to get a burr with each stone?
@WorkSharpOutdoor Жыл бұрын
No just be sure to raise a burr along the entire edge on that first pass on both sides. Some knives, depending on blade steel/size will take longer. Be patient and establish that burr! After that, you can spend less time on each stone and refine the edge as you like.

Don’t forget to strop with compound. That is vital because the stones still leave a micro serration on the edge. Stropping with compound takes it beyond “razor” sharp. If you’re going to do it, do it right.
@WorkSharpOutdoor Жыл бұрын
True, but there is an argument to be made for that micro serration being beneficial for some knives. If razor sharp is the goal, then yes, strop away. If you have a camp knife that is going to see hard use, those micro serrations can work for you, on material like rope.
@AandB1998 Жыл бұрын

As mentioned in the video, curved blades are where this sharpener has its limitations. We are working on a solution for this but in the meantime you can use the ceramic on the handle for touch ups. For a full resharpening you would want to use a different approach like our Knife and Tools Sharpener (KTS) that uses flexible belts that can follow the curvature of the blade and maintain that factory profile.

@WorkSharpOutdoor Жыл бұрын
That would be fun to look at. 110 is razor blade territory when it comes to sharp and 250 is still way sharpener than factory, so your knife is sharp, just not insanely sharp, lol. When you get a knife that sharp, it does not take much use to get it down in the 250 range. There a lots of factors to consider here (angle held on steel vs in PRO PA, the type of knife and material type, etc.) Should make for a fun follow up! Stay tuned.

Well, you're freehanding(inconsistent angle/pressure) on extremely narrow contact surface(high pressure), and sharpening steel(rod)s are generally not that fine, either. And you'll be left with burr.

how many passes do I nee to make on each side
@WorkSharpOutdoor Жыл бұрын
The time required depends on factors such as the type of steel and the current sharpening angle. In this guide, our aim is to maintain the existing angle on each knife to minimize material removal. Changing the angle to a steeper one will necessitate more time for sharpening. In terms of steel type, harder steels will take longer to develop a burr. While 3-5 passes on a soft steel may create a burr, it could take 10-20 passes on a harder steel. The key is to exercise patience during the initial pass, ensuring the establishment of a burr along the entire edge before proceeding to repeat the process on the opposite side.
