I got one a few months back cuz I wasn’t going to spend Sebenza money on a knife sharpener. So far I’ve sharpened D2, S30V, S35VN, M390, M4, 1095, and a bunch of other types of steel w no issues. Not Instagram edges but working edges on my hard use knives. I love it for the price.

Hi Pete, your initial impression video leaves many knife - tubers in the dust with their full review videos ! You had a "pretty OK time" with it, high praise indeed !
Great video young man. I might just get into locking blades after seeing what Buck did with that one there.
Lmao, what a gem of a comment
Hey Pete! I have been a KME user for several years. I have no plans to change. With that said, I watched a Worksharp "how to" vid comparing one way sharpening spine to edge, edge to spine, and 2 way edge to spine to edge, and finally sweeping sharpening movements mimicking Wicked Edge. One way edge to spine by far produced the sharpest edge. I tried it on my KME and I now have a sharper edge than I have ever been able to produce when I did it like you, edge to spine to edge. I'm not saying you are doing it wrong. Just suggesting you give it a try. If you do, please make a video with your results. Thanks!
I’ve had a similar experience with my wicked edge! Tip to heel sweeps seem to be a bit slower, and less intuitive, but definitely more even for me as I tend to lose patience when reprofiling. I’ve found that once I do the reprofile, I touch blades up heel to tip and it’s a piece of cake with the same level of sharpness. The only exception is Spyderco knives without a choil as I’ve gotta love on that plunge transition a little bit.
@@firemedic5170 a diamond rat tail file solves the problem of no sharpening choil.
@@kerryrwac 100%! I just find that tip to heel, even with a choil, keeps me from applying too much pressure on the blade initially. When I start at the heel I tend to habitually push into the blade a bit more. I did the same thing on my KME 🤦🏻♂️ I generally use a 2-3mm diamond file to create a small choil on the Spyderco knives that I carry and use 😊
@@firemedic5170 up and down is faster for reprofiling, (and everything else) , but heel to toe after reprofiling would definitely give it a smoother finish.
@@kerryrwac 🙌🏻 thank you!
Just picked one up a couple of days ago and just (as I got the alert for your video) finished my 3rd knife…2 M390 and a D2…Like what I see so far…But, as you said…Time will tell…Thanks from the Midwest, USA.
It's a nice system and I've just learned that WST will roll out and Upgrade Kit and an Precision Adjust Elite with more stones and a strop...
Thanks for the heads up. I will wait to make my purchase until then.
I love mine. After the first sharpening of a factory edge, getting back a razor edge takes well under half an hour, assuming you keep the same angle. It's just about foolproof
In October they are coming out with more stones. Would love your opinion on this again with those additional stones.
I couldn't find info on them online. Do you know what grit ratings?
@@BenoJ3000 They're lower grits not higher. So the ceramic stone is still the highest grit they offer. You'll still have to go "after-market" to use higher grit tapes. They are adding a strop though. The video is up on their website.
@@gspam154 they'll be including a strop so you could load that with compound to get more of a polished edge.
...everybody must get stones...
@@RustyMadd ...was HOPIN' there was someone out there who'd "pick up what I was puttin' down'...
The 8-bit Tribal remix of the Inspector Gadget theme music while you sharpened really set the mood. 🕵️♂️
There are after-market stone holders out there which allow you to use your existing KME/4" or Edge Pro/6" stone form factors on this platform.
Thanks, Pete! Stay well.
Some guys on ebay sell psa sheets that go down to 60,000 grit and I've gotten a mirror finish pretty easily on my knives with them. Had a chipped tip on a zdp blade and it totally reformed the edge with the lowest grit and it looks brand new
I’m happy with mine for the money . It definitely has its shortcomings though especially when it comes to heavy reprofiling .
I have sharpened a Lil Native in Rex 45 and a TRM Nerd with it and had great success at about 17 degrees. Also sharpened my grandpas old classic folder with a very shallow blade.
@@socjocke it’s a decent system for the price . It’s not going to give the results the higher priced systems provide but I don’t need a mirror polish anyway .
@@gladeshunter8796 get some lapping flims and you'll get a mirror finish, but yeah reprofiling with this system is brutal.
I ordered one of these last week to review on my channel too. Worksharp has a history of making decent stuff, so my hopes are there for it.
Thanks for the initial look, Pete... looking forward to hear your final thoughts on this, especially with regard to shallow angles (less than 20°) on small kives (3" and less), which seem to be problematic because of the clamps' thickness
I reprofiled the blade on my Gerber Dime with this system. It was a little fussy, but it got the job done. The edge was butter knife sharp though from the factory and I put about a 17 degree bevel on it. I could have saved time and hassle if I tried to match the factory bevel.
It doesn't grip small knives very well. Things like Spyderco Manbugs or pen knives can be pretty finnicky. It does work well on the size of knives that Cedric is using. It's a good value. I bought the expansion by Sweet Knives to get higher grit tapes and those work well too.
You can buy an adapter now that let you use either any 6 inch (edge pro, venev, TSprof, hapstone) or 4 inch (kme, 4 inch venev) stones instead of the stock ones. It also has a ball handle at the end so it much more comfortable to use. I bought a 6 inch version as a stone holder for when I do in hand sharpening or stopping, it's a lot easier than holding a 6 inch blank. It's 3D printed but of high quality and now if I ever buy one of these I can use dozens of my stones instead of the 3 they provide.

I’ve been using this for 9 months, and I’ve sharpened around 40 knives with it. Previously I used a Lansky fixed angle sharpener. This is a hundred times easier to use and whilst having a much reduced range of abrasives, it has enough (if you add a strop) to get a decent polished edge. At least it’s pretty shiny to the naked eye, and plenty sharp. It struggles with very small penknife blades and longer kitchen knives, but for everything else it’s great. There’s more grits coming from 1st October too. All that being said, I’m still thinking about moving up to a KME!
If you look at after market accessories there’s some add ons that’ll let you use a lot more stones which gives this a more versatile stone range than most other systems out there. So stone limitation isn’t an issue unless you’re just really against buying after market parts for it.
@@norcalbowhunter3264 obviously, I wrote that comment a year ago. In the meantime I have bought the upgrade kit and a 3rd party 4" stone/plate holder. That being said, with 5 diamond plates plus a ceramic and a strop, I never actually use anything else.
Just scored one yesterday and it's pretty damn impressive how simple and effective it is. I'm genuinely impressed.
I agree with everything you said. Bought one of these about two months ago and FOR THE MONEY I was totally impressed. BUT, like you, I'm curious as to see how it holds up after several sharpenings. Kinda worried about the clamping parts, such as clamp itself, screw, knob, etc but as far as the other parts I really do think it will be hard to find a better system for that price point. Love your vids. Actually married an Aussie gal back in 1999 and brought her here to the US and still going strong. If SHTF over that way feel free to head over here Mate. LOL
Thanks Pete! I have a China ‘Ruixin Pro’ that works great for my kitchen knives but the clamp is all wrong for small knives. I also have a Lansky system which is great for small knives but of course the angles are set, so often Step 1 is reprofiling a knife, which is not always ideal. I’ll probably grab one of these systems now so that I can match factory angles. Also, the clamp seems better than the Lansky, and the price is right. Thanks for the first impressions vid!
Well done Pete. I have one and have used it with great results. Lots of folks bitch about the fact the clamp has some movement but so what. It is not a $300 KME and that is where it excels; it's only $50
Easily remedied with a clamp like this 🗜 on the base, directly under center of the jaws. Then a couple of shims. Makes a huge improvement!
Pete thanks for your 1st impression of the Work Sharp Precision Adjust knife sharpener. Your opinions on knife products are worth paying attention to. Thanks for the tip on clamping different blade shapes into the jaws.
DMT also has one of these that you use with their Diafold sharpeners
That bird segment broke me. Hilarious
Work sharp customer service is by far the best too!! Any problems at all and they'll go out of their way to make it right
Worksharp makes a good product. Thanks for the look.
You know what would be very helpful for your final review? Edge testing results after using the Worksharp, then follow up edge tests on the same knives after a full diamond progression on the KME. There's a lot of debate about carbide tear out on high vanadium steels when sharpened on anything softer than CBN or diamond. You're in a position to contribute to the discussion!
I misname this several times because even after almost 10 years I am not very good at this🙃🙃
That bird cursed you!
Was just reading about the "Truckies" all the fire, the Chinese,Corona and Mouse attacks? ( plague ???) Jesus man...stay strong.
Hope you dont get food shortages

My Aussi friend said "Mate, sit back and chill with a "Big M or Oaks"
Here's a tip, take your main finger and spin it top wise
Had to wait to buy it to make sure you didn’t say it was total trash, thanks man!
I learned that it doesn’t really matter if you alternate or focus on one side as long as you’re doing equal amounts of sharpening to both sides. The important part being equal sharpening.
Looking forward to the review. Other users have complained about the flex in the jaws and the weak magnet, but here's hoping it's not all bad.
Mate, I am one of those complainers. The magnets are really bad. The clamp is really bad. Your blade will wobble, and if the spine is not wide enough to get a proper grip, then you're definitely going to have a bad time. It works best on a flat grind. That much I can say, but anything else and you're really playing with fire. I hope that Worksharp fix this, because I had high hopes for this, however now I'd rather fork up for a KME or something similar. If I consider the cost of my knives vs. a decent system, then the system is going to win. Particularly when you acquire more knives. It's an upgrade of sorts, from the Lansky, but it's a first version ... so as they said / say with Apple kit; "If you want to be on the bleeding edge of technology, then be prepared to bleed." This system, falls in to that category.
Worksharp dropped a video today on an upgrade kit for the Precision Adjust. I'm going to watch it now. Maybe i'll get the kit for mine. As it is, the addition of a strop with green compound, is all you need for a sharp edge.
Dude :) you absolutely killed it with that FFIX music :D thumbs up for the video
Just backed the Creely Mako PG stainless project on kickstarter because of your recommendation and reviews.
Dude, well done! Excellent commentary, just the facts! Cheers for the States. 🇺🇸🇦🇺
I've probably got a month on mine and I'm happy with it. I have owned a KME for a couple of years now and for the cost it compares favorably. Nothing snapped or failed and it puts a quick working edge on easily. Hopefully they'll have a variety of stoned available in the future.
I got the Elite version a few days with the extra stones and I have sharpened 6 knives. Small to large pocket knives and 2 beater kitchen knives. Most of my pocket knives were fairly sharp to start with so I used the finer stones and the ceramic to hone them back to hair splitting. The 2 kitchen knives, I had to start with the 220 grit diamond and reprofile both. One had several knicks and notches. My wife believes that knives or indeed just tools (think hammer and pry bar). Anyway the really bad one took about 40 minutes to go through the grits and ceramic then strop. I took both to almost mirror edges and both slid through paper when finished. It is small and a bit toyish feeling, but I does produce great results. For longer blades you do run out of stroke. I think I will probably end up buying the TSProf Kadet for my larger blades and kitchen knives. I think the basic structure will probably hold up just fine. The question is how long will the stones last. I definitely feel I go my money's worth.
At 1st I got the lansky and I hated it so I spent the cash on the KME and I love it this system looks like a decent in between sharpening system.
Stick with your KME, mate. Looks good, but over time, I don't think so. I have had this for some months, and will retire it as soon as I can get a KME.
Honestly love mine. I touch up my blade with the ceramic everyday. My unit sits next to my chair and I use it while I watch TV, right on my couch arm
I saw one reviewer barely tighten his knife in the clamp and then proceeded to use smashing strokes on the poor knife. He then complained about the knife moving in the clamp and the ineffectiveness of the system. I almost wonder if the video was a parody as the comments were turned off. I own one of these and it works great. I use soap and water on the ceramic stone and I am able to achieve a near-mirror polish on my edges. Best 50 bucks I've spent in a while.
Your humour is just spot on
Thanks for the review, I mean first impression of the Work Sharp.
I figured it would be a good place to start in my quest to sharpen knives properly.
Stay Sharp
Have one now for a few months used so far about ten times and I’m not at your level or a pro. But it sharpens very good and has held up well so far. It’s easy to use
Gritomatic already has a KME stone adapter but I wonder how compelling upgrading this is compared to just buying a more expensive unit like a KME.
I have this sharpener and the Gritomatic 4" stone adapter The angle changes when using the taller KME and off brand stones so a digital angle finder
is a must when changing between stones. I spent more on additional stones than I did the WKS tool and will buy the WKS upgrade stones for ease of use.
This sharpener is small and compact compared to traditional fixed sharpeners which makes it easy to sharpen blades anywhere there is a flat surface, especially on a folding dinner tray in front of the tube while watching college football on a Saturday afternoon.
Been using the Worksharp system I have limited experience sharpening knives finally getting knives extremely sharp then added lapping films oh boy mirrored edges, I have experienced no other systems!
Smith's tristone system is good for the money, but you have to know how to use oil/whetstones freehanded. They are perfect for smaller blades. I have used them for years fivethteenish. Cool video!
You know, when you uploaded this, Work Sharp uploaded an announcement of new abrasives for that system hahaha
Great review as always!
There are more grits available for stones and leather strop, the latter is silly. I picked one up in June. I like it when I need to surest and edge. like your Uncle I grew up in the era of Arkansas oil and water stones.;-) I moved on to diamond and ceramic stones for convenience. This jig certainly, feels like a toy at times, but it works. I found the clamp doesn't work on knives with a swedge like the Benchmade Emmissary 470
Looks like that bird was having a good sunning session.
It’s helpful to READ the directions my friend!
I think it is a great middle ground sharpener, definitely an update from lanksy, but not kme level
The music on your channel is awesome! Love the Final Fantasy music
Great review Pete! ....lol....I kid.... Great "NOT a review" but initial look at this Worksharp kit. I may just have to get me one.
Been waiting for you to test this sharpener mate. Initial results look good .
Great Initial Impressions! Full review any time soon? I have a sharpmaker and am looking to get into either a worksharp or a kme.
Thanks for all you do.
One of the best.
Jolly piece of kit considering the price!
Fortunately they have a kit with more grits available due to this kit beeing a beginers favourite 😉makes me look like a pro 😋
Mine came yesterday afternoon, perfect timing
I am glad you did this video, I just got some S35vn and 20cv knives and my belts on my WS probably will not be able to make them sharp
Pete. Like you; I've got far too many knife sharpening systems. I too have a KME, Tormek and many other systems. Love your honest and blunt review/opinions....Which I more than often agree with. One thought I would like to throw out there with this Worksharp system is that this is a "that'squicklywon'tequivalent
What would you say are the potential downsides of the KME? I bought this kit that Pete's taking a first glance at, and must say that initially I liked it, but now after some months think it's not everything it has been sold as. I'm now seriously considering going to a KME, because I want something that gives a reliable edge. In particular, I want a solid clamp. This one wobbles and you can see the effects of it on the actual blade. It will get a sharp edge, but it won't be pretty.
@@yomodojo For me. The size of knife you can sharpen on the KME. The Stones that come with it (I have every diamond grit that KME offers) are too short to be honest. Its perfect for pocket knives and probably anything shorter than .... 6 inches? The clamp on the KME is far better, but can still wobble slightly if you leave it loose (like I do so that I can flip the knife over easily). If all your'e sharpening is your pocket knives....its a great system. I have yet to acquire a Wicked Edge; so I can't comment on that.
If I wanna sharpen anything larger (like a kitchen knife); I swap to a different system. The Tormek is baller and produces great results...but takes a few minutes to set up and then tear down and makes a watery mess. From start to end...at least 30 minutes if not an hour. I usually use a Worksharp guided system with pivoting stone. I pull it out with NO set up. 5 seconds to check the right grit is on and the angles are what I want as I walk to the kitchen counter. Throw the sharpener on the counter and I hit it 7ish times on both sides semi-freehand (the guides are very effective) ...change the grit, and go again. No more than 5 minutes from walking to the closet and returning it to the closet. The knife is about 90% as sharp as from the Tormek...but the girlfriend can't tell the difference....and neither can onions. Going poop is more of a chore than touching up a kitchen knife with this system.
Just my 2 cents. Hope it helps.
David
Nice,however I have the worksharp version of the spydee sharpmaker,and unless you have to reprofile,you couldn't ask for an easier system to keep a good edge on your cutlery
I've had one for a while and enjoy it. I want to get the new upgrade kit.
Great timing! I just ordered mine, hope for good tips as time goes.
I like the 80’s synthesizer music. Miami Vice/Poindexter (Revenge of the Nerds)
Funny i just opened mine yesterday after haveing it since it first came out .pretty impressive
I think there are some either extended range or hacks to extend the range of abrasives for that, I have not used one but for the price, for a user or edc knife it looks great, not going to replace my Tsprof k03 though.
They definitely look really good for the money. I would get one but I've had the wicked edge for years and love it but not the 900 I got into it.
Right now I'm torn between the worksharp or the DMT aligner kit. I have a sharpmaker, a set of strops with varying grit compounds, and a C/F double sided diamond bench stone that allows me to put a good functional edge (and maintain that edge) on most any knife, but for whatever reason I'm feeling this itch to try and maximize my entire EDC rotation by playing with different angles depending on what the steel wants.
I should probably clarify - I'm torn between whether the best option is to adjust every knife in my rotation to the optimal edge angle for the steel (which would mean I'm getting the worksharp) OR just focus on getting the best possible finish at a set angle across all steels (which I think would be best accomplished with the DMT system as I have had good results with their products and appreciate the range of grits they have available).
Loving the final fantasy 9 tunes 👌
I like the adjustment mechanism of this, but the stones and ergonomics of the Edge Pro Apex is much better. Wish I could just mash em together. I just can’t use the Work Sharp because I need more than these 3 stones. I need diamonds for my k390 and my S35VN blades
Back to back uploads?!?!? Day made
I really like it so far but I am a little heavy handed so I find the magnetic mount for the clamp coming loose after a while.
If you don’t like the Buck this would be a good opportunity to put your own flat grind to it. At least if you mess it up no big deal right. It’s pretty easy though so I don’t think you’d mess it up. Just saying
that FF9 music
Do you have any videos, where you explain the benefits of different sharpening angles? and which angle is after all of your experience the most usefull for edc, outdoor, kitchen knifes etc?
Buck knives forgot how to put an edge on their blades too? I recently bought two Ka-Bar knives, and both of them had edges that were completely f***ed as well.
I bought one of these WorkSharps, but have yet to try it out. I noticed a lot of people were buying some emery sticks, and/or sandpaper to get higher grits to use with it.
I noticed that you removed the clamp to rotate the knife instead of always using the rotate function, is there a reason why?
I have one and mine turns easily one way and difficult the other way. It's easier to take it out and flip it.
@@watsonlitchfield2306 mine is the same way.
Is it good for Kukri blades? :)
Like, fixed blades?
No way too big . I sharpened my Esee 6 with it but that’s the largest blade it can handle .
Just wondering if the side you started sharpening on was the side with a bigger sharpened edge? I've noticed when reprofiling some knives have to be swapped around before you get a burr. If I don't it tends to lead to getting a burr on the second side faster. As you know more on this then me I'm glad to hear that it is more likely a bad job from factory and not my sharpening technique. 👍
Great first impression vid. great observations and opinions. I have this set coming. Just using it for personal flolders I carry and use. How do you change stones?
Help on a new knife if one side is 18 degrees and the other 19 degrees should you keep those angles or should you make them the same . TYVM for ur help and time
What kind of results do you get with the worksharp field sharpener. That’s my main method and I can get my knives sharp but never more than just shaving. I have a feeling the 20 degree guide has something to do w final sharpness. Can you maybe comment on the final sharpness of a 20 degree edge vs a more steep one?
Hey, did you get around to use it more? I would love a full review or a comment on your experience 🙏
FF9 hits different
How would one sharpen the forward edge of a tanto with a system like this?
Loving the title.
On initial impressions, would you say it is worth it to spend almost 3 times the price of this to get the KME, or would it make more sense to get one of these? I only sharpen until it pops hair, I don't care so much about checking my makeup in the reflection on the edge. But I still want a good sharpener. Currently I have a worksharp electric knife sharpener, a Lansky and some wet stones. But I want a good, easy to use angled system that works better than a lansky.
FF8 Garden tune?
Oh no....I'm about to run out of Cedric and Ada videos :'(
I review that system and I wish they made a bigger and more complete system out of the box with more stone 😩. Personally after 10 sharpening my 320 stone is dull 😒. How long do KME stone last??
Mine seems like it’s starting to dull as well. Luckily, Work Sharp sells a replacement 320 for something like $12.
Great review as always sir!
Would be great for someone who really gets into different edges
The biggest ? with these Systems is to calculate the angle 📐 with trigonometry. Since every blade has a different width the horizontal distance is different.
yeah, i use an angle finder on mine if im going for something specific. the triangle formed between edge, sharpener and stone is slightly different each time depending on how tall the blade is
Can you sharpen a straight razor with this bit of kit
Hi Pete what angle would sharpen the spyderco pm 2 ?
If money was not an issue would you recommend this or the kme system?
Was that an Australian magpie?
Um…. Are they DMT type stones or DLC type stones?
Did Blade HQ send you a seconds knife???? Is Buck's quality that bad?
Can you test the Ruixin Pro RX-008?
Is this system a good choice for k390 and the like?
Oh snap! Chocobo racing
Awesome advice mate cheers
