Product Description
The Original Work Sharp Knife & Tool Sharpener is the first knife sharpener designed to sharpen every knife you own. Using flexible abrasive belts, the sharpener is able to sharpen not just straight bladed knives, but also curved knives, tanto blades, filet knives, serrated knives, gut hooks and virtually any other shape of knife blade. The Knife & Tool Sharpener uses precision angle sharpening guides to ensure that you get the proper angle every time. Two guides are included: a 50° guide for hunting and outdoor knives (25° per bevel) and a 40° guide for thinner blades and kitchen knives (20° per bevel).

Now to the sharpener. First thing that comes to mind is WOW! This thing is so cool- I wish I could give it 20 stars! It is EXACTLY what I wanted to sharpen my filet knives. It is quick, easy, and just about dummy proof. I wanted something just like that, that would sharpen my knives well, with a consistent edge that was fast & easy and SHARP. Well this tool is it my friends! No more messing around with stones or rods for me, I will use the Work Sharp every time! It does an amazing job! To test it out 1st, I took out my oldest rustiest filet knife that hasnt been sharpened in years. I hit the sides of the blade with some 150 grit sandpaper just clean the rust off then tested the sharpness on a piece of computer paper - it wouldnt even cut it. Then I ran it thru the Work Sharp with the Medium 220 belt, about 5-6 times per side and the knife was super sharp in less than 2 minutes! The edge was so nice & consistent all the way down the blade. It would slice right thru the paper nice & clean and shave the corner right off. Then I ran it thru again on the purple 6000 grit honing belt, about 5 times a side and maybe 60-90 seconds total. Then the knife was SHAVING SHARP - literally! It will shave the hair right off my arm! It will cut right thru the paper edge just by the weight of the knife. Again, it took about 3-4 minutes total to sharpen this old knife that had been laying around unused and rusting for about 5 years!
I cant stress how fast & easy this sharpener works. The consistency of the blade edge looks factory, like a professional job. Now I have been sharpening all my pocket knives, kitchen knives, and the scissors are next! If you are tired of using a stone, and working 10min plus to get a good edge, and maybe even only part way down the blade - THEN BUY THIS TOOL! You will not be disappointed at all! Even though I dont need it I want to buy another one just cuz its so cool! I am so impressed with this sharpener that now I am going to buy the WS2000 Tool Sharpener, if everything this company makes is as good as this knife sharpener they are all great tools! I love this thing and so will you!
(oh and another thing I want to add: When I registered mine online, they gave me an extra set of replacement belts for free, no shipping costs, no tax - FREE! Something to think about if you buy one and are considering ordering extra belts like I did...)
Longer Version:
I have been using a Spydico Sharpmaker (pardon my spelling please) for 6 years or more now. Before that I mainly used flat stones. I love my Sharpmaker but I moved to a new house about half a year back and I haven't seen it since. My knives were dull as hell after 6 months without a sharpening stone and I finally got fed up. Came here to buy another Sharpmaker. Reading the reviews of some of the 'suggested products' lead me to this. I watch a lot of the forging shows and I've seen a ton of knives sharpened on a belt sander so I figured I'd give this a swing. I know the Sharpmaker would put a great edge on my knives but it is really best for maintaining sharp knives than it is at putting new edges on damaged knives. Returning my most used knives to the edge I like would have taken me 1/2 hour or more per knife. I've done that, it's tedious.
This device, Work Sharp WSKTS Knife & Tool Sharpener, is fast. The small belts do a great job at ripping metal away. The medium belt was great for any edges that were not chipped. Pratice on an older knife first. It is very easy to take way too much metal, especially at the start of the sharpening stroke and at the end of the stroke. Start the belt as you start moving the blade back. If you start the motor before you start pulling the blade back, you will cut more at the start then the rest of the stroke and eat a bit of the back of the blade away. If you pull the blade all the way through the belt, without stopping the belt while it is still on the tip, you will roll the tip over and loose the point. A mistake I made a couple times, even though I had read the directions and they warned me. Experience counts I guess.
I had a couple older blades with chips in the edge, anywhere from 1/2mm in diameter and smaller. A few passes with the medium belt didn't do a lot to remove them so I switched to the course belt. Ripped through and now I have a straight, clean edge. I finished on the medium then fine belt and I have a very nice, straight and sharp edge.
I'm very glad I bought this sharpener. But I will, once found, continue to use the sharpmaker to avoid grinding my knives to dust unless they are well past dull. Until then, I will use the 6000 grit for touch ups, at least I'll give that a shot.

La inversion es un poco elevada pero merece la pena. Sin duda una gran compra.
Ya he afilado todos los cuchillos que tengo y estoy encantado.
