WORK SHARPPrecision Adjust Elite Knife Sharpener - Adjustable Knife Sharpening System - For Hunting, Serrated & Kitchen Knives

Wow! This is a great knife sharpener. I sharpened all of my EDC folding pocket knives. They are perfectly sharp. I am terrible at free hand sharpening. This makes sharpening easy. This system is not the portable kind that you put in your pocket and take with you. It is one that you would keep in a cabinet or on a work bench in you shop. I haven't tried to sharpen my kitchen knives yet. I am confident that it will be just as good as the pocket knives. Be careful to read the instructions and watch some YouTube videos on how to use the sharpener. It is not hard to sharpen a knife with it. It does require a process to get it right. The machine is rather durable but could be broken if misused. I am very happy with it.

I've had this system for about a week. I finally had some time to sit down and set ot up. It's extremely easy to setup, and has a great little case that everything fits neatly into. I glanced at the instructions, watched a fee YouTube videos, and got to work on a cheaper knife I've been trying to sharpen by hand for days to no avail.This knife wouldn't cut paper and was giving me a headache from trying to sharpen by hand. I started on the courses grit and finally got a burr after about 20 minutes. It was starting to give me another headache, but I kept at it. It takes a little time to figure out the technique and proper form. But, once you get it, it's amazing. I worked through every grit, and the strop. The edge almost had a mirror polish after my first attempt. It was getting late so I started rushing through some of the stones once I got the hang of it, or it would've had a real mirror polish.It is by far the sharpest knife I've ever held or sharpened. Blows away every factory edge ive ever felt, all 38.I have a few other systems, much cheaper, and not diamond stones either. One is more for touching up your edge. I have tried free hand sharpening quite a few time, and every time have ended up with a more dull knife than when I started (I'm still not giving up). It's very refreshing to know I can put a razor-sharp edge on any of my knives now.This system has everything you need and is easy to use. You get great results, and the price is very reasonable considering the costs of other fixed angle sharpeners. The build quality is great, the clamp hold the blade secure. The only thing I can recommend is a digital angle finder, got one for $25. Also, at first feel the stones didn't slide very smooth on the guide rod. So I put two drops of gun oil on the plastic where the rod touches and that greatly improved the feel when sliding the stones back and forth on the edge. Lastly wipe the blade between grits, and get an old toothbrush to clean the metal out of the stones to prevent cross contamination between grits. Also, I highly recommend watching some of work sharps YouTube videos and reading the comment section, thats where i heard about the oil and cross contamination. There are different techniques that can yield different results, work sharp has video on that.Overall for the price I'd go with the elite version, but I'm sure the basic would work great, except when it comes to the mirror polish.and final look. I'm am blown away and extremely happy to have a system that not only works, but works great!!

This is the best system that I've found because it will absolutely keep the angle within 0.5 degrees or less and that makes all the difference in the amount of work you have to do. I've tried the other cheap 'rod' systems and know that the angle just really wanders too much. Re-profiled a Benchmade miniGrip to the best edge it's ever had @20 degrees just by working this system.With a system like this profiling is so easy and not scary anymore because it's so fast. System needs no tools, everything holds together with magnets, stupidly easy to adjust the angle, easy to flip the knife over quickly. Base is very stable on a desk since you use very light pressure. Clamp is secure on the blade but still gives access to it. Carrying case is f-ing top notch and useful even. For $120 you can't go wrong.I'm so glad I bit the bullet and upgraded to the WorkSharp.
