Get This Knife Sharpener!
I have used every knife sharpening method available. From cheap carbide sharpeners to Japanese waterstones to expensive fixed angle sharpeners. This unit from Work Sharp is has made all those obsolete. I am talking about the Ken Onion Edition. Last year, I bought the original model Works Sharp model and it was good but had some shortcomings. All those shortcomings have been resolved with the Ken Onion Edition. The secret to using this or any belt sander is to start and stop the power with the knife on the belt. And NEVER let the heel or tip go more than half way across the belt. Anyone who complains about rounded tips hasn't learned this. And it is explained very well in the instructions. Also, I ordered several additional 3/4 x 12 inch belts in varying grits from Econaway Abrasives (I don't work for them) so I am set for years. If you are looking for the perfect gift for a hunter, fisherman, or knife enthusiast, then this is it!
