Work Sharp WSKTS-W Knife & Tool Sharpener

It's so convenient to be able to sharpen your knives back to a razor's edge as soon as they barely begin to dull to return them to their peak performance. It's a glorified belt grinder like the pros use to sharpen blades, so it won't chew up your blades like other electric sharpeners. I can sharpen/hone my knives in a matter of minutes without tediously slaving over a whetstone like a caveman. Super easy to swap belts: just slide the guide off and pull down the top tensioner roller. Easy to understand full-color instructions show you how to sharpen all the different types of blades you may own. I'd recommend this to anyone because this is a genuinely useful tool to have in the kitchen, and I'm not being paid to say this. To clarify: the box comes with 2 sets of coarse/medium/fine belts. I'm still going strong on the original set of belts after over half a year, but even then, a replacement set of belts are cheap as chips ($8) so you get your money's worth out of them. If you have ceramic knives, you can buy diamond belts separately, which are pricey ($32), but I'd imagine the convenience of being able to sharpen them in your own home without needing to send them to a specialty place would be well worth it. I highly recommend upgrading that $5 el-cheapo mild steel knife to a proper $30-100 high carbon steel blade that holds its edge for a month instead of a week.

After finally throwing away my bench belt sander because it quit (and never was all that great. I could never get my knives shaving sharp), I bought this little gem. And what a gem it is! My knives (and I have tons of them) are all sharp enough to shave with now, and it was so easy. For kicks I viewed a 10 best list for sharpeners and Work Sharp was on it, but the nightmare system that got chosen for number one cost a fortune, was incredibly complicated to use, and is a joke. For you out there interested in having sharp knives (that should include everyone) Work Sharp is the best, easiest to use, and cheapest solution to your quest. This is a seven star product! Update: I've had this thing half a year now. I've sharpened about 50 knives, including my impossible-to-sharpen German knives, some twice and my pocket knife three times. All on the same set of two belts, I'm color blind so color isn't a problem. I go by feel. To those people with rounded tips, FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS! No rounded tips here or scuffed up surfaces. As far as sharpness goes, this sharpener will get your knives sharper than any other system, bar none. FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS! My knives are as sharp as any razor on the market. My Wenger Swiss Army pocket knife works better on cardboard than a box cutter with a new blade. I found a case for my Work Sharp on Amazon for $9.00. When someone needs a knife sharpened, I arrive looking like a doctor on a house call (that would be 70 or 80 years ago) but with a much smaller bag. I have the less expensive model. Let Ken and his buddies spend twice as much to mess with the adjustable version. Some people just have to fiddle with perfection. Don't pay any attention to the nay-sayers. They can't follow instructions or maybe can't read. Possibly their hands are shaking from too much alcohol. I have exotic stones from around the globe and diamonds galore. No professional knife maker uses any of those to prep a knife for sale. They all use belts. It took me 81 years to find the right one. My poor father died 18 years ago at the age of 97 and never got his knives shaving-sharp. That's 97 years of failure! They would take the hair on your arm, but barely. They are all shaving-sharp now. May God rest his soul.

I live on 10 acres of woods in North Carolina, so I have 5 machetes, 2 axes, numerous knives, multiple lawnmowers, lots of garden sheers as well as lots of kitchen knives and scissors. I have many other knife/machete sharpeners, but they are all manual powered. Was debating about buying a belt sander, but too expensive and the belts are also expensive. Flirted with buying this for awhile, and finally did it. Extremely glad I did! Was skeptical about the 1/2" wide belt, but it's actually very quick to sharpen and does a fantastic job! I bought another brand of belts, because 2 of each just isn't enough for all those tools, plus I wanted another grit between 240 and 6000. Found a 12 pack that included 120 grit, 220 grit and 1200 grit. Which is perfect, because 220/240 grit is the most used. The 1200 is perfect for the final sharpen on my kitchen items. The 220/240 is perfect for my outside tools. I sharpened a machete to cut paper in minutes. Have sharpened everything I have and really love this tool! The guides are great for kitchen knives and scissors and even the machetes, and no guide for shears, and serrated knives. Then turn the belt 90 degrees and use as a hand held grinder for Axes and lawn mower blades. Thought I would regret not buying the 3/4" more expensive version, but not at all. This works great for everything I have!

Es una invencion que te facilita la vida. Lo recomiendo

Muy útil y fácil de usar

Muy satisfecho con el producto, cumple con mis espectativas.

Bueno, no es así como a prueba de tontos, pero saca un filo increible, batalle con mi navaja por la forma de la oja pero conseguí un filo muy bueno, lo mejor fue afilar el machete.. super rápido. vale la pena si te gusta el filo como yo que me obsesiona tener todo afilado, pero si le hace falta la banda de cuero que la verdad si le falta el ultimo tiro para quedar genial, pero creo que conseguiré un cuero aparte porque si esta bien cara la banda de cuero para este.

Muy practica, cómoda y eficaz
