What do you all think of the work sharp units? I have a handful of knives I use when we butcher and they all need cleaned up. Trying to find the easiest way to keep them in fine working order. Still learning the technique for a steel and I'm ordering leather strop

I've had a Worksharp device for 3 years now. Getting to where I need to order more belts, but I love it. Having used Chef's Choice, Wen water grinder, numerous draw through sharpeners. All I do after getting a hair cutting edge is to strop the knives 1-2 times a month now7 Foot X 20" Pipe BBQ pit with offset firebox

I have never used the Work Sharp system, but after visiting their website and watching the video, I'm impressed!

It works well. It’s more for building a new edge really. And it does that pretty accurately. Still need a dresser/steel whatever of course, but when the blade is just wore out, the Work Sharp will bring it back.In God I trust- All others pay cash...Check out the Mad Hunky and products at https://madhunkymeats.com or https://www.facebook.com/MadHunkyMeats

Wife and I have one and really like it. Now I just found this leather honing & polishing belt strop for putting a very fine edge on with the Work Sharp.

I received the Ken Onion version last Christmas. It will put a very very sharp edge on a knife pretty quickly. I even used it on the kitchen shears and they cut like new now. Now that I think about it, it's time to sharpen the knives again (I got 2 more new ones recently and the WS edge is going to be better than factory one).Dave
I love coming home. My back porch smells just like a BBQ joint.....

I also made some adaptor clips, so I can use cheap diamond plates with it as well.

I started with the WorkSharp Ken Onion Edition and added the blade grinding attachment which made it even better. As I bought more expensive knives I gravitated to an Edge Pro and now Japanese whetstones. Like Richtee said, the Ken Onion is great to set a new edge and I use it a lot on German steel followed by a light touch to finish on the stones. I don't think you can go wrong on the Worksharp, it will allow an inexperienced sharpener to put out a very sharp tool.
