Review: Great product! What a time saver! - There are probably plenty of raving reviews about this product but this review is more geared towards 'how to use' properly and other views that aren't discussed. I've used it for work knives, kitchen knives, small carving tools and work swords (yes, swords). I've fixed 2 softer metal blades that I thought were going into a recycling bin. It is quick to setup, fairly easy to use and gives good, work fast results. Granted I still prefer stones and plates for my favorite, cherished tools but using those takes time, prep work and lots of work along with clean up and proper storage. I can get a better edge with them but that's because I can control the abrasive removal process easier. As always, wear protective gear as the removal process will create metal and abrasive dust. I always wear safety glasses and cut resistant gloves for larger blades. The WSKO edition is abrasive. It can take off more than you wanted and you will go through belts in little time. It does require some skill and for whatever reason do not test it on your favorite blades until you are comfortable. Even when using older sharpening processes I usually use a test blade before reaching for my good blades. With the WSKO it can take some time before you get a hang of it. I couldn't remove the bur on my first few attempts and I was tempted to just finish those with my nicer stones and polish but keep at it. Using a finer belt and switching edges works the best for the bur. I usually go slow and yes stop the unit early when you reach the tip. I've used this for sharpening my Condor Dadao and ZOMG even the awkward (long) pull gives me undeniably fast work sharp results compared to older methods. I will be purchasing the work tool attachments in the near future but for edged tools that you don't put down often it will save you time so you can continue to do (you got it) work. A huge advantage if you're out with the task and need a quick sharpening. If they had a battery powered version (that was also pluggable) then this would be the only sharpener I'd need. I'm not a hunter but I do butcher livestock. This would be undeniably useful for that alone or for a hunter who does not have access to electricity. *HINT HINT Worksharp, do it!* Overall, if you're looking for sushi stupid crazy bragging sharpness this could achieve it with enough practice. It'll still do it faster than plates/stones/polish but it may take off more than you'd like. It will go through belts sooner than you think and the sharper you want your blade(s) the more you'll pay for it. That's the trade off though and any mechanical belt sharpener will require new belts. I suggest purchasing a backup set and some polish for the hack (works pretty darn good). Even with some after thoughts I cannot believe how much time is saved. What usually took me a daylight's worth to finish a bucket of bladed tools is shortened to a few hours (sharpening 20"+ swords with plates, stones, polish is not as easy as it looks). If time is money or important then this is definitely worth the investment.
Review: I crossed the "Line", I'm and glad I did! - The Worksharp Knife & Tool Sharpener Ken Onion edition...For 7 months I debated w/ myself over and over about "biting the bullet" and getting a power tool to help me sharpen knives more efficently. Im almost 48, and since age 12 I have used my grandfathers' tried and true stone & ceramic methods to put a razors' edge on a cutting tool. And the old methods WORK. Period. But I cant see quite as well as I used to, and if you get off count sharpening and stropping, it causes big problems that you have to be able to SEE the edge to correct. I swore up, down, and sideways never to "go powered". But w/ the WSKTS systems, my edges seem to true up faster...way faster. I chose the WSKTS-KO because of the options it has available over the standard... My personal favorite?? A slow speed mechanism that keeps me from skrewing up a good blade. I can watch the process as it unfolds. Slow on the WorkShap systems is still "jack-rabbits' ass on fire!" fast compared to almost any hand sharpening rigup. I particularly like the medium and fine "white surface" belts. They sharpen and hone like Spyderco ceramics, and still leave the door wide open for me to finish by hand w/ leather strops. They have a "gunmetal" lookin' deposit as you use them, just like a ceramic rod. You can clean them w/ a white gum eraser on slow speed too, or the standard cleaning "stick" widely available for belt abrasives. The angle adjustment guide is a stroke of genius. If the weight of the knife is all the pressure you use, the blade can easily be "leaned back" and hovered past the belt and the sharpness you seek comes faster. Now, "leaned back" sounds like a relaxed term. Thats' the idea. Set the knife into the sharpener, and REST it on the angle guide, using JUST enough pressure to keep it sliding against the guide. The tool motor in and of itself has more than enough power to handle almost any job, if you use the right belts in succesion and TAKE YOUR TIME. This is a great tool for beginners, and a Godsend for experienced sharpeners, but it doesn't possess the power of an angle or bench grinder Remember that sharpening isn't a race, and if you don't feed your family doing it, its far better to proceed SLOWLY and watch what youre doing. Pay Attention. Don't crank this baby to max on your Sebenza, and then give this tool a bad review if you are foolish enuf to do that. You can and WILL RUIN a very expensive knife in a heartbeat!! Read the directions. Watch Youtube. Call Worksharp, ask questions. Read the directions again. Find some old user knives to practice on. NEVER drag the tip of any knife blade more than 1/2 way off the belt. Start w/ tool OFF, set blade into the angle guide, and using the weight of the blade, and GENTLE guidance, manuver the blade toward the tip, following the shape of the blade. If you are using the "crossbar" blade guide, DO NOT press the knife edge into it, that will dull your knife, defeating the purpose. This IS NOT a bench grinder you just turn on, and leave it that way 'till you finish. Its rated for 1hr. before you need to let it cool completely off. Then when you get good, and I mean good enough to feel that edge and say "Damn!, now that's freakin' sharp!", THEN its time to "Dress up your babies for school". In less than 45 minutes, you can turn a butter knife into a razor w/ the WSTKS-KO, and you can bleed easier than you think. Keep the tool clean and free from sharpening residues as much as possible w/ a dry bristle brush, air compressor nozzle etc. The coarser belts will produce loads of fragments that can gum up the sharpening guide, cassette workings etc. This produces scratches on surfaces you don't want them on. Use masking tape if necessary to stop that from occuring. Put the masking tape in a single layer on the guide "sliderpads" too, if you can, stop and clean often. I sharpened a RUSTY old HC steel butcher's knife, started w/ the coarsest belt I could find, established a "working edge", and went from there. That rustbucket Old Hickory will now SHAVE hair. Tnere was rust and metal frags/sanding matl. all over that cassete. KEEP it squeaky clean. If you think that this tool can be mastered in 5 mins. w/ no practice etc. you will need to take your knives to a professional edgemaker!! All belted abrasive tools need time/patience to get good, but it'll be less time than with stones!! The "medium grit" belt is normally used for sharpening a well-cared for blade on occasion as needed, the fine grit for semi-regular honing, where you want something more aggressive than a steel, but less than attempting to adjust a primary grind to facilitate sharpness. EDIT: 2/24/14 I used the 6k purple belt to polish away the tiny imperfections from the back of my Spyderco H1 Salt Pacific, and now it shaves hair! Make sure you polish AWAY FROM the edge if you do that...or you'll cut the belt! Also, if you have a combo edge knife, each portion of the edge must be sharpened INDEPENDENTLY. Sharpen the plain edge parts as normally done and then follow the directions for sharpening the serrated parts the way you would a fully serrated blade. Tantos must be VERY carefully done, because the flat portion on the nose needs to be treated as if it is a seperate small blade, otherwise you will ruin your knife. My suggestion is the Spyderco TSM for these, unless youre REALLY good on the WSKTS-KO. I will update this review as I go along, but as for now, this is a "TD Essential Sharpening Gizmo List" chart-topper. Highly recommended. Edit 6/19/15 Still well satisfied----just keeps getting better!....I'm thinking about snagging the Wskts field kit to complete the lineup!.....May consider a 1 by 30 too. Everything comes full circle.

Excellent sharpener. The oval edge produced by the sharpener means sharp edges last longer. Not just a little longer, but a lot longer.
