If you do not see them on my store, they are out of stock. Restocked weekly.
Sold out again? Looks like I missed out. Hopefully more back in stock soon.
@@localresident996 They sell out quickly. Will restock soon.
@@Practical3DP I am also looking to purchase one. Following your Etsy store. Thanks!
Are those plates you have installed the DMT 4" diamond stones ? I just bought a set for your holder coming this week and I took a lot of scrolling to find the right ones.
@@haveagocommentator983 those will work just fine
I just got the precision adjust. It works great. I love this magnet attachment. You sold me.
You should def do more videos and I'm definitely interested in your products. Awesome job man
I think I will after Christmas.
Just ordered this and the brace support from your etsy store! I have the leatherman skeletool cx with the 154cm knife that I can't sharpen properly on the precision adjust because the clamp was too deep. It just couldn't properly hold on to the blade so every stroke of the diamond stone would cause it to move from its position. After finding your etsy store, I was overwhelmed with excitement knowing that I had finally found some products that fixed the very specific problem I've been having! So thank you man. Your ingenuity and skills are very much appreciated 👏
Thank you! Looking forward to hearing how it works with the skeletool.
What a fantastic addition for my worksharp precision angle elite kit. What is your etsy site name... to order from you...😉👍🇮🇪
@@Practical3DP I am in the UK and am interested in the magnet. Please advise as it appears no joy on Etsy. Thank you.
The design has had some slight updates. I have updated the top blade fence to make positioning and flipping the knife easier. Hopefully I will be able to make a new video soon.
So glad I found your video man. Your prices are excellent compared to some other stores that sell parts for the precision adjust. I’ll definitely order some Friday.
These upgrades work great! Been using them for a while now
I absolutely love both of your inventions for the sharpening system. Im gonna buy both of them next week 100 percent for sure. I will let you know when I get them and how much I love them cause I know I will. Thank you very much.
Thank you for your support! Feel free to contact on here or Etsy if you have any questions.
Thanks brother! I just got mine today gonna give it a try in a few minutes!
Love love love the magnet idea imma get one of those asap
Looks great! Just order one.
Great video!! Thank you for sharing.
I just received my magnet attachment today and it works pretty well. I would recommend printing thicker blade stops maybe twice as thick. Some blades have funny bevels on the top edge. The magnet seems to be strong enough to hold medium to small size blades. The magnetic force takes a little getting use to when actually stroking the diamonds across the blade. I like the idea of the painter's tape, but I was considering some double sided tape to catch the filings that the magnet attracts to the material the knife sits on. Instead of building up there, it could be removed with the double sided tape.
This is awesome I'm so glad I found out about you subbing now
just got 3 of your upgrades. it makes this system waaaaay better
I hope they serve you well. Thank you！
Love it. Subbed. I’ll definitely check out your store.
Just placed an order for the support and holder. Seems awesome man. Can’t wait to try them out.
Wouldn’t the adjustable stop work better with the longer straight edge butting up against the top of the knife ?
Hi Seth I just received this holder and it looks like with longer screws I can mount scissors to the end...
What sharpening stones do you use? still fairly new to this and just got my precision adjust but want to get your upgrades and some really good stones so I can get some mirror edges (I know, not really practical but it’s what I want)
If u want a cheaper mirror edge i suggest buying 3m lapping film after u use ur ceramic ull get an incredible finish and there cheap and stick on ur ceramic stone
Just got mine today : )
I hope it serves you well. Let me know if you have any questions.
@@Practical3DP will let you know .
Do you know when these will be back in stock on the etsy or ebay store?
Hmm... the issue I see with that magnet setup is the centerline of the blade (spine to edge) isn't parallel with the angle gauge because of the hollow grind, so the actual grind angle is going to be steeper than what the gauge says. The OEM clamp would be more likely to hold it so those lines are parallel.
There are ways to compensate. You can use the front fence to make the blade parallel. Alternatively, you can subtract the angle of the primary bevel.
Can you send me a link for good 4 " stones to fit your parts for worksharp adjust
....I prefer to use the clamp, and made the head support from the garden hose pipe attachment.
Hi
Thank you for your good video, how long does this knife sharpener usually work? And after how long should it be replaced?
Question 2: I do not have an electronic angle meter, and without using an electronic angle meter, how do we know what angle number to use for each type of knife, such as 15 degrees or 17 degrees or 20 degrees or 25 degrees or 30 degrees?
I'm not sure exactly what you mean by your first question. As for the angle gauge, it would be difficult to find the appropriate angle without one. I recommend getting one if you can,
@@Practical3DP
Hi
Thank you very much, my good friend, the meaning of the first question was, how long is the useful life of the diamond stones of this Work Sharp knife sharpener model?_
I don't see these for sale any longer on your Ebay site. Are they sold out? If so are you gonna produce more?? Thanks
Waiting on magnet shipment. Will be back in stock soon.
Is the magnetic holder available on your Etsy store? I visited the pager and it is not listed….
Sold out yesterday. Will restock next week.
I want to buy to but i cant find the magnetic holder
I have thicker knives such as the Ontario SP 8 . That are a .25 thick . Of course they won’t fit the work sharp clamp . My question is will this work for knives like the sp8?
I think a knife of that size is beyond the capabilities of the Worksharp PA in general. I’m not sure if there is enough stone throw to cover a 10” blade? I cannot say if it would work as I don’t have one like that to test. I designed this with EDC folding knives in mind. I think additional magnets would be required for a blade that size.
Anyone try this with small fillet knives?
And or the smaller Opinels? #6, 7, 8
How do I order one?
what printer do you use? i always was interested i that stuff
This particular attachment was made with a Voron 2.4.
Seth, what stones are you using?
DMT stones for the DMT aligner system
Can you give me the link to your esty store please.
Where do you zero the angle cube?
In most cases it’s probably best to zero on the blades primary bevel.
Hey Seth, I just ordered your stone holder, and this magnetic knife holder. What width and thickness stones is the stone holder designed for? I'm looking at the DMT continuous diamond stone, at 4" x 7/8" x 3/16", and the DMT 4" for aligner stone, but I don't know it's width and thickness. I am looking forward to using your products. Bryan from Nova Scotia
Bryan both of those should work fine.
@@Practical3DP Thanks. Sorry, I forgot this one......And the Fallkniven DC4, which is 100mm x 32mm x 7mm?
@@bryanteal seems like it should fit as well
@@Practical3DP One more query, Seth. Will the design of your 4" - 6" stone holder accommodate the Spyderco 5" stones.....the 1/4" thick Double Stuff, and the 1/8" thick C303F & C303M? I'm having a hard time sourcing budget stones, here in Canada. Thanks!!
1/8 may be cutting it close. The clamp jaws may stick past surface of the stone. Would have to be very mindful not to hit knife edge on jaws. Could place a spacer under stone.
How does the blade not move on the magnet more than it would in the clamp?
That blade doesn’t move with either. That’s not the point. This attachment isn’t meant to stop blade movement. It’s meant to use for blades that don’t fit well in the clamp or if you want lower angles.
They are no longer on your site. Are you going to continue to make these?
Yes. I’m out of stock. Takes me a while to get them back in stock because I also have a full time job.
Just visited your Etsy store,No more shipping to Canada?
Temporary. I don't ship international during the holidays. It's too much of a headache for me. I'm sorry.
@@Practical3DP all good thank you though.
I'm in Thailand, I'm interested in your item.
I found its better to just use light pressure and bypass the stabilizer add on. When you use the stabilizer it changes the angle quite a bit and you have to take it off and put it on so many times that it isn't worth it.
Yes that’s true. Depends on how much you adjust the brace into the arm. I only do it so it just touches. Set my angle after. Then it is consistent.
@@Practical3DP I never thought about doing it so it just touches (don't tighten past) so it doesn't move it up sounds like a good idea thanks for bringing something so obvious to my attention lol
What is the name of your company/Website and where do zi find it?
Practical3DP currently I’m on Etsy
What is the name of the first knife in the Video ?
The two knives shown are the Sencut Scepter and Ferrum Forge Mini Archbishop.
Are these still for sale?
Yes, they are on my Etsy store.
There are so many flaws with the Work Sharp system, they need to hire you to fix their problems. I did get so frustrated with this sharpener that I bought a TSPROF KO3 and it’s just about perfect, except for the cost.
I have TSProf blitz pro. I agree their products are so much better.
I did design my own system but I haven’t got around to making it. I can’t do it cheaply enough. I don’t get the benefits of economy of scale like these companies.
@@Practical3DP
How do I find your site to order from.
Search shop Practical3DP on Etsy
Does the magnet hold all blades well Like stainless blades with lower carbon content. Thanks
The best way to know is to test your knife in question with a magnet. If there is reasonable magnetic attraction then it should work.
Do you not these any more
Yes, I still make them. They are on my Etsy store.
Why not make the stone holder flat on the top so a angle cube can sit better... Use the material wasted on top/handle to make the screw nut a lot bigger and make that's the handle. Kinda like the gritomatic.
The thumb screw does not need to be larger. The size keeps people from applying too much torque. The surface of the top of the stone holder is actually flat. You can put the angle finder there if you want. It’s not magnetic though. Easier for me to use the rod.
I just the new stone holder.... So you end up making the top of the stone holder flat. LoL
You know I can appreciate all the ingenuity out there trying to make the Worksharp Precision Adjust more accurate. But at what point do you say you are polishing a turd? I was looking at this item myself because of the base price but after adding up all the upgrades to try and make it a decent sharpener you are at the price of a KME Sharpeners. I ended up going with the KME and calling it good. The magnet base your demonstrating looks somewhat sketchy safety wise. Its good your thinking outside the box though. I would say never give up but on the Worksharp I would say its time to tap out.
Perpendicular, don't you mean horizontal?
Blade edge perpendicular to the rod.
If the knife is laying flat, which it is when being sharpened,
Which is horizontal, how can the edge of the blade be upright or perpendicular ? I am confused 🤔
@@kevinbufton7136 perpendicular does not necessarily mean upright. It means a surface or line is 90 degrees to another surface or line. So if you look at the Worksharp from above I define the knife as the x plane and y as the rod.
Thanks 👍
Good accessory . This kinda crap is what happens when a company puts a product too fast with it actually testing and making g adjustments . The precisaion by itself is a pile of shot without the upgrades and after getting by all that a person might as well spend a $150 on something decent or even better a rubicon pro . That’s how I feel . Worksharp didn’t even sell the extra 3 sided stones Is all people really want and a more solid design.
Yes. I agree that if you can budget a better system all at once that is the best route to go. Otherwise, adding stuff here and there works as well.
@@Practical3DP most defintely . Sorry I was upset from the heat . The worksharp system works great with the aftermarket products and the magnet holder is awesome . What’s the best aftermarket stones ? Or decent affordable ones . Thanks .
@@Hungrybird474 no worries. I prefer Venev cerebus dog series. You get a set of 3 for around $80. They are double sided so you have 6 grits. A grit for re-profiling, all the way to a polished edge. Also they pretty much last forever as you can maintain them.
Hi Seth. I bought your new version and I have a question about the angle meter. Do I still zero it on the base of the attachment or on the blade itself? If I place it on the blade and zero it, I run out of adjustment on the worm drive. The blade is beveled so it's not a flat surface. What do you recommend?
There are different mounting positions on the attachment. So you can raise or lower it on the arm. This allows for more angle range. Also you can use the front fence to tilt the blade upwards. This isn’t necessary though.
For the angle. Since your blade has a big primary bevel that will attach to the magnet, follow this procedure. Zero on the attachment itself. Next place the gauge on the primary bevel on the knife. Take note of the angle. For this example, let’s say 10 degrees. Now, you want your knife to have a 15DPS edge bevel. Place the gauge on the sharpening rod. Adjust the WS so it says 25 degrees. You’re doing this to compensate for the primary bevel and will have a true edge bevel of 15DPS or 30 inclusive.
If you have more questions please contact me on Etsy. That way I can show you illustrations.
@@Practical3DP Will do and thanks for the tips, makes perfect sense to do it that way.
If the shipping to Canada wasn't the same amount as the items, you'd have another sale.
If you message me I can do cheaper shipping to Canada. It’s still anywhere from $12-$20 though. That’s first class international. Still expensive. The price is the price though. I don’t set it and nothing I can do about it.
I had to remove the option for buyers to select because the cheaper shipping is unreliable to some counties. It was either taking forever or becoming lost. Especially to Germany for some reason. Etsy does not have seller protection right now so I was taking a lot of losses on the item and having to reimburse shipping charge.
@@Practical3DP Good to know. It was charging about $25-30CAD each for the two items I'm interested in (Magnet holder and the arm support) an shipping was $54CAD. I know a couple of guys with 3D printers, so even the files would be worth a few bucks for me to spend.
Apparently, he does NOT know about angles, establishment of angles and what are the factors in changing angles. Moving the edge, relative to the contact point of the the rod -- its contact point (in space) most definitely changes the angle of the stone relative to the blade cutting edge angle. Also, remember that the whole point of being able to rotate the entire knife through the push-button on the back of the stone/rod holder is one of the hallmarks of this Worksharp system.
I know that this is not a perfect replacement for the rotating mechanism. However, the stock clamp does not fit well on all types of pocket knives. That’s what this is for.
It’s very possible to use this and get a sharp knife. Myself and many others have done it. It does take a little effort but after you know what your doing you can get repeatable results. You have to develop a technique depending on the blades. Also, I have updated the fence to make alignment easier.
Don't see this in your store
Fussy operation. Kidding yourself if you think magnetic maintains position nearly as well as clamp. What is the benefit again?
There exists plenty of blades that don’t fit well into the stock clamp due to their profile.
No offense, but out of the entire video the only thing I found useful was the angle-finder. I've seen some of the 3D printed aftermarket stuff you make for the Work Sharp Precision Adjust over at your Ebay, and a couple of items look useful... like the Universal 4-6" Stone Holder and the desk/table clamp... but the other stuff imho is just unnecessary if you use the Work Sharp with care. I have the Work Sharp Precision Adjust (Elite) and my blades, all the way from my pocket knives, to kitchen knives, to fighting knives are razor sharpened and polished without the need for those expensive plastic thingamajigs. Can't knock you for trying to make a buck, though, and I do admit your addons required some thought and skill with a 3D printer. I also understand that materials for that printer ain't cheap, so the price for 3D printed stuff is often rather steep. (I'll never spend $300 again for a Rebel vape mod! LOL)
I understand. “There is no reality, only perception.” Finding a use case for the item and determining it’s usefulness is up to each individual.
Great job on a well thought out design.
I've got the Presicion Adjust and am looking into your magnetic holder to hold on to my whittling knives, which have a really small blade, that is just impossible to grip with the standard clamp. (www.flexcut.com/assets/ProductImages/JKN91-out.png) would your clamp be able to hold onto a small straight edge blade like that?
By exchanging the stone for a rod, It should also be possible to sharpen the curved blade....
I find that depending on how the blade is shaped, the limitation is around 0.5”. Measuring from spine to blade apex. If you were to try it and it does not work with your knives, I’ll gladly process a return.
@@Practical3DP Thanks for the swift reply. I'll consider it, especially since I see a lot of options for customizing the two adjustable fences. shipping to europe is a bit pricey though, have you considered licensing your 3D design and letting people print their own ?
