Work Sharp Precision Adjust Elite Knife Sharpener - Adjustable Knife Sharpening System - For Hunting, Serrated & Kitchen Knives

My mother and I collect a ton of knives, though as far as sharpening them I’ve never really paid much attention to. I’ve noticed a ton of them beginning to be very dull, so I purchased this since I don’t like any of the other sharpening tools I have. Man it’s so easy to use, you can set your angle so easy and just get to work. Can sharpen quite a few knives quickly with this. The quality is great I was concerned about the magnet but it’s solid as heck I’ve had no issues with large knives or small knives. I highly recommend this product.

Really enjoying using this sharpener and it works great. I could have spent more on a bigger more professional setup but for my purposes this does the trick just fine. It’s compact so it stores easy, quick to setup, and has smooth operation. Got all my knives nice and sharp fairly quick. Three things to make it better- the base could be a little heavier so it doesn’t rock as easy, the clamping system could be a little more secure, and to sharpen a larger knife you really should use a larger sharpener but it works if you sectionalize the knife. I’ll get a kit of use out of this thing.

I have only or a few days. The reviews are generally positive but there are some negative reviews that made me want to comment. I have used on a larger chefs knife and a pocket knife for context. In both cases the knife ended up with a pretty good edge. First, some reviewers commented that the base is not steady. I don’t know what they were sharpening or how hard they were pressing but it worked absolutely fine for me. You don’t need or want a Lott off pressure. Second, the plastic materials are not great and will have some flex if you use some pressure. For the price and convenience I guess this is a trade off. So it could be sturdier, but again, my knives were able to cut paper easily when done and I wasn’t working too hard to sharpen. Not going to lie, metal would have been better. The system to rotate the knife is find if it’s a small knife. Larger knife’s will not rotate easily. But, for the larger knife’s I just pulled it off, turned it and reattached. Magnets hold it on so it’s not hard to do and honestly might be easier and safer than rotating in the system. Overall, it works. I do question the durability, but these things only need to used gently to work. I don’t understand the negative reviews if used with care. Only reasons I did not give 5 stars…I question the durability and there is a little flex in the plastic. Yet like I said…I was able to get the knives way sharper and I did not want to invest much more. The next up “recommended” one was almost 250. I am not messing with stones…just want to make my knives cut better. This works better than anything I have tried.

This is hands down one of the best knife sharpeners I’ve ever used. I’ve tried whetstones in the past, and while I could get a knife “sharp,” I could never truly grasp maintaining the correct angle consistently. Because of that, my results were always hit or miss — sharp, but never this sharp. With this sharpener, the difference is night and day. The guided angle system takes all the guesswork out, and the results are honestly machine-sharp. I’ve never had pocket knives this sharp before. I actually have to be extra careful now, because the edge this puts on a blade is no joke. Even the V-block comes with an insert that literally says “You will be creating incredibly sharp knives. Please handle with care.” — and that ain’t no joke. Just following the system gives you a dangerously sharp edge. The process is simple, controlled, and repeatable. If you’ve struggled with whetstones or inconsistent results in the past, this completely solves that problem. Fantastic tool. Worth every penny. Highly recommended.

I came across this thing as a fluke and was intrigued. I had a Lansky years ago that I just could not get results with and I ended up giving it away and thought this was a retread. Conceptually it is the same. You lock the blade in place and the abrasives are guided, leading you to a consistent and clean edge. This entire set up is just easier to use. I added the lapping films and feathering adhesive and was very impressed with the results. I sharpened a PM2 with an S30V blade and a TAD Dauntless with an S35VN blade. The PM2 was a bit tougher to line up due to the blade shape, but once I realized the key was consistency, I locked it in and started at 20 degrees. From there I fine tuned the blade and took it through the ceramic stone and was very impressed with how well the knife cut. You develop a rhythm and technique and it does have a "feel" component. Once you feel a burr, flip the knife and do it again, hopefully near your first count of strokes but if you lose count, raise the burr on the other side and go to the next abrasive. It really is easy to use and the ceramic plate as the finest grit will be perfectly okay for most people. That will be the sharpest knife they've had or done themselves. If you want to go to the next level, using lapping film on the ceramic stone is easy and very effective. I took it to a 2500 grit and got a mirror polish on both the Dauntless and the PM2. The change in how the Dauntless performed was amazing. Using the films and adhesive on the ceramic stone is a great upgrade and very simple. A pack of the films is right around 4 bucks in the Wal-Mart automotive section, and I also bought as part of the package here. Not every edge will require a polish and the system is flexible enough to let you try some things with angles and varying grits on different parts of the blade. There are some things this sharpener is not designed to do. That said, for smaller blades, kitchen knives, EDC, etc., it is easy and effective. For larger blades, tools, scissors, and odd shaped blades, that is why you have multiple sharpening options, right? For some items you just can't beat free-handing on water stones, or the guided bench sharpener from work sharp, or even a Sharpmaker For the two knives I sharpened here though, and I did it right out of the box the day I got the sharpener, I've never put a polish on an edge that fast or that well. I also don't think I've ever made a blade edge that sharp. This is not a gimmick and it works well. ————-update 1 May I just finished a ZT 0562 CF with a CTS 204P blade and it put a very nice edge on. Setting the edge with the 320 grit plate took a while, and I relieved the shoulders using the 15 degree position before going to 20 degrees. Once done, using the 600 and ceramic took it to not-quite polished but much sharper than out of the box. Getting a burr took a few minutes but once It was raised, honing it down was easy. Very impressed with the performance on 204P.

Easy to use. Razor sharp edge every time. Well worth every penny

Easy to use with great results

Clearly a part missing. Very frustrating now i will have to wait for new one. Update The supplier dealt with the issue right away and sent out the missing part as-well as some other gifts for having this issue. Well done guys and pretty happy with the product it works good might have to watch a few more youtube vids to figure out how to work the device a bit better.

Produto cumpre bem a promessa, é fácil de manusear e de fazer a manutenção, tem que ter um pouco de noção de como fazer, só achei o apoio um pouco “mole” mas nada demais, coloca uma rolha em baixo que está tudo certo. Quebra muito o galho você ter a geometria do ângulo, ainda mais pelo perfil de corte ficar alinhado o que na pedra é necessário muita prática, experiência e noção. Recomendo, acredito que desses afiadores guiados de inicial é muito bom, muito melhor que os chineses mais baratos, claro, não é um Lansky nem um KME, mas cumpre muito bem !

Es un afilador sin igual, simplemente magnífico. Es posible afilar navajas y cuchillos medianos a grandes; las pequeñas navajas Vicrorinox no es posible, son demasiado chicas. El control del ángulo de afilado no tiene igual, yo afilo la mayoría de mis cuchillos a 25°; rara vez afilo a 15° o 20° y prácticamente nunca a 30°. Todo esto es posible con este afilador. Este equipo es delicado, no me parece de uso industrial, para mi es suficiente. Me gustaría tener una gama mas grande de piedras ahora solo tengo los que vienen en la caja, 320, 600, 1200. Será necesario conseguir algunos granos intermedios.

By far the best sharpener ever, it's genius... Unlike Lansky, this can adjust angle at precise setting also while hitting the curves. What could've been perfect, an option to get different grids/spare "Tri-brasive" rods and bigger clamps. I find inconvenient sharpening one of my hunting knife (thick and chunky spine) I will definitely buy another regardless Work Sharp wants to update their product or not.
