Work Sharp

Thinking of getting 6 abrasive belt electric Work Sharp for my Chicago fillet, house knifes,and hunting knifes. Any one have experience with this sharpener?

Got mine last Christmas.

Love it. All my knives, kitchen knives including serrated ones and even all the scissors. Easy to do and fast. Belts change fast too.

I still use my old hand held for touch ups.

Of all the sharpeners I've had over the years, Work Sharp has been the best, fastest and easiest to use.

Oh yeah, you can use it on tools too but I haven't gotten that far yet.

I bought one last year as I am one of the worlds worst knife sharpeners. Couple passes thru and your knives will once again cut nicely.

I have had mine for 2 years. As the others have stated I have a horrible time sharpening by hand and spent lots of money of the years with guides etc. Since buying the Worksharp my knives are always sharp. Very easy and quick to use. I bring it to all family events and go thru all the knives in the house. Now some of the relatives bring knives hoping I bring the worksharp with. I highly recommend it.

Thanks I got one, going to bring it on a camping trip and sharpen some very dull fillet knifes.

I had to take a look when I read how easy it was to use. Picked one up and can't believe just how easy these work. I can put a decent edge on with a stone but not without a dragging out the stone and my Razor's Edge system. Read the directions and had 8 knives done in about 15 minutes. I think its time to get rid of the stones and stick with the belt system. Best part is that I can put the edge on the back side of my Leech Lake knife with no problem.

Thanks for the heads up guys!!!!

Jim,

Which one did you buy?

[Jim Almquist]

Just the plain old WSKTS. It was $65.00 on Amazon. Got to try it out on some Coho's today and could not be more pleased with how sharp my Leech Lake filet knife got with just a few passes.

Thanks for the info. Will have to get out on the water together one of these days. Give me a call if you are up near Ely.

I love my worksharp, best sharpener I have ever used! I took mine to deer camp two years ago in Iowa, and while we were in town strategizing, I brought it in and started sharpening the knives for our group. Within 15 minutes i was sharpening everyone's knives that was at the bar. I must have sharpened 50 or more knives. I needed a new set of belts when I got back, but it is worth it's weight in gold.

Today I sharpened my lawn mower blade, took the curled edges off my steel grain scoop (yep it is that old), and my neighbor came over and I sharpened his mower blades too.

I see they have a new wider belt option now, The ken Onion model, if the extra $30 won't break your piggy bank, I would go with the wider is better option.

I sharpened Chicago cutlery 63N3 that I use as a fillet knife, Puma Tec lightweight 5” lockback folder, and Marbles 3” toothpick pocket knife while on vacation. Used medium belt and sharpening was very fast and easy with good results. I screwed up the point a little on the 3” toothpick. I highly recommend this Work Sharp sharpener.
