JUST SO EVERYONE KNOWS THIS SYSTEM HAS A LOWER PRICE NOW shrsl.com/42ht0 AND YOU CAN GET THE AFTERMARKET STONE HOLDER IN MY HAPSTONE LINK IN DESCRIPTION OF THE VIDEO ALONG WITH OTHER WORK SHARP LINKS THANK YOU FOR WATCHING
Hey Neeves, i cannot decide on either this one ( i have the older model ) or the Wicked Edge Go precision.
@@sprinkleddonuts6094 This system
You guessed right Jared.😜 I'm already designing my Leading Edge stone holder for the Professional Precision Adjust. Gritomatic will stock them when I'm done. I'll also work on a scissors sharpening attachment and a LED light attachment next...
Have you been able to manufacture something yet? 😊
@@nelsojr1423Yes, I have some great stone holders that Gritomatic will hopefully stock soon. Working on some more upgrades.
Let us know when your dropping these items. Like he said I would like to add a 1200 grit
@@daryenmirabal2656I don’t know if it’s from the OP. But you can buy a stone holder from gritomatic now. I'm unsure when it was released, but it is for this model. I was considering getting one soon. I’m personally excited about a scissor attachment; none are available yet, but this post gives me hope.

Thanks man for the great content and videos.I think we can live with the 15 seconds.If people can't they can skip that part 😂. Thanks again for the knowledge on sharpening.
Looked like a style approach, no harm dude, your on fire..🤣
Noticed that was where you made a change from the first video in regards to flipping the knife. The first one you also mentioned they have already come out with after market stone holders but didn't see that in the 2nd.
No one I would trust more reviewing a knife sharpening system than you bud. Nice and thorough review.
@msreese115 yes I made a few changes actually, I said wrong information and wasn't willing to let it live forever even if it meant I had to kill to video in RUclips algorithm which it 100% did, which is ok I'm just gonna keep it pushing
Great video. The system is not a bad starting point for any "Knife Guy". The bulk of my carry knives are in the $150 - $250 range, having a workable sharpening solution is a must.
1. Picked up a KME as a starting point
2. Next Work Sharp Ken Onion, with blade grinding attachment
3. Down the 3 x 8 bench stones rabbit hole
4. Picked up the TSPROF Blitz 360
5. Finally got the TSOROF K03
If I had to limit myself the 2 methods... 1. TSPROF K03 and 2. Bench stones.
I like to sharpen as much as buying new gear.. Thanks for the video.
Jared I hope you publish videos when and if anyone makes an aftermarket attachment for non proprietary stones since you will likely find out way before the rest of us. Great video.
Thanks Jared for the video. I'm really excited to get this one.
You're so right about the after markets with the precision adjust. I got the 4 inch hapstone holder and it opens up the system. Also, I bought the support piece for the jaw section. Do not overlook this. If you have a worksharp precision adjust, you need that support piece.
Been looking to level up from KME and think this is it thanks for video Neeves, well done !
Very nice video Jerad. I will definitely be picking one of these up. The only thing that I want to add is that the tilt feature is also for when you're using the support base so you don't have to remove it to flip the knife.
I just got the notification today that my pro system has shipped! I'm excited. I'm not a huge knife guy but my knives have one job and if they can't do that they're a waste of everything. I've worn out 6 or 7 Lansky clamps over the decades, and I got pretty good with those, but having a system several steps above that is going to be great.
I can't wait for the fixed angle tips and tricks. I have something wrong with my hands where I shake really bad, so I can't free hand sharpen. Love your videos, bro! Been watching for quite a while.
Ive heard good things about the edge pro system and the price ranged from $150-$300 depeing on the option. It takes 1" 6" stones and you can use after market stones
Bro, this video is awesome. I love the new formula you've been using. A huge level up.
Great video. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and found it VERY informative 👍
wow you answered every question that i had about it. well done .
Thanks Jared, I am just barely good at sharpening knives and have the regular precision adjust and am kinda wishy washy on about upgrading to a better system or just pay someone else to sharpen my knives, I think I will get this and spend some time learning how to get better. I was talking with my dad about how I can get my knives sharp but the edge doesn't look pretty and he reminded me that Rome wasn't built in a day. I see all of the knife youtubers with their amazing looking edges and I hope to get there some day. Practice is the key thing I have to work on. Your channel has been a great help so far. Thanks again!
Hobbyist knife maker and free hand sharpener here. My wife just bought me this for Christmas. Not sure how much use I'll get out of it, but I think I'll find it useful for setting my first initial bevels on small knives. That way I'll know they're basically near perfect starting out. ...I hope.
I just got mine for Christmas and i love it, i just wish it came with a couple finer stones like a 1000 and 1200 and
Been waiting on this video and no better person to review this product. Look forward to the sharpening video .
Thank you for this video, I've got the old pro system and have thought about getting this one
Great review - I suspect a little two-sided tape and aftermarket stones will work just fine on this beast ... a bit of drilling and some rare earth magnets should cure the weak magnet thing ... would be pretty easy to set up a new rod and holder from some spare rod material laying around the workshop - a fun project for sure
I love this, will definitely be trying to get
Thanks for the review! A couple of notes on the KME price comparison. As far as I know, the base for the KME is still extra, $25, and it only comes with four hones.
I recently got the bog standard basic precision adjust and for the most part very happy with results I get from it. I just cant justify the price difference with the new system unfortunately.
Nice system and a good upgrade from the original, like you said there will be aftermarket stone holders out for these in no time. Nice having the magnetic base for pen knives but a bit of a missed opportunity as they could have added scissor sharpening as well. Im quite happy with the original system, but I've invested in some aftermarket parts and stones to increase the quality of sharpening. Hard to choose between this one and ther other ones on the market when looking at the price tag as there are great systems in this price range. Thanks for the great vid and keep making sharp things fun and enjoyable
What are other systems in this range that are equivalent in features?
Another well done video!! I like this system very much, the comps to tsprof is spot on, with thr kme ehh not so much. I had a kme back in day, and this blows it away. First you need mention that the jaws can accommodate 1/4 " spines, this is a big deal, kme can't. Then throw in the magnetized table, you have the best of both worlds in one system. I agree 100% after market stone carrier will make this a true beast and unleash its full potential. But with the current military conflict I'm finding it very difficult to get supplies from either tsprof or hapstone/ gritomatic and the later IMHO made thr best after market stone carrier for the original precision adjust.
In closing, another well presented video.
Great honest review. Bought the warthog multi edge just prior to this Work Sharp PA release and for the money I think the warthog was right choice. As its also portable and with a simple mod I can also use whet stones.
Good video man. Glad to see you. Thinking about getting one of these. My hands aren't what they used to be. Again good review and very good points. 😊
It's great if your having trouble with hands
Appreciate your review. After seeing it, I purchased it. Thank you.
I just ordered, Jared you’ve been very helpful in my quest for better blades. I am skilled with them, just.. never knew how to maintain. Kind of like the race at driver who doesn’t know anything other than how to drive 😂
Great tip on the tape to remove the metal shavings. I was going with an old paint brush.
Great video had been considering the original system for some time glad I waited. Does this system come with storage/case?
Thanks Jared, definitely thinking of buying this one 😎
Great video...I'll save up for this system for sure
I’m happy with my original work sharp. After saying this I did get the 4” stones and holder plus a aftermarket support brace. I am going to get the 1200 grit. I do have to clean the strop and apply the jewelers compound. Otherwise this does have some mundane features I like but not enough to justify a purchase
For $300 they REALLY should have gone with the standard 1x6" stone instead of trying to "lock" people into their proprietary stones. Another big flaw IMO is the fact you still need the clamp brace. I bought a $100 sharpener from China (Toohr #3) that doesn't have that problem and has more features. We all know somebody is going to get badly cut trying to remove or replace the brace.
You can buy the base precision adjust unit, a 6" stone holder and still have over $200 left over for new stones and accessories. I think that is going to be what a lot of sharpeners are going to be thinking because as you mentioned with a stone holder you are into it for $330~ and still need stones, at that price Tsprof starts looking VERY attractive, even more so since they will soon be introducing their newest entry level sharpener.
I am in the market for a new sharpening system, and I am curious what the new TSPROF entry level system is going to be, or called. Do you know yet? I was almost sold on buying a TSPROF Kadet Pro for $468... and it just seems like a much better built system than this Work Sharp for $300. I know I'll still have to add stones to that, but even if I just rode out the "Optimal Diamonds" until I saved up for some better ones, I think I'd be better off in the long run. I don't do any pro sharpening, just do ktichen knives for myself, pocket knives for friends and family and whatnot. So waiting on the entry level TSPROF if I can find some information, may be suitable as well.
Looking for a guy like you to help teach me the ins and outs! Keep it coming.
My wife just bought me one for Christmas and I love it, it's such great improvement over the old one and the old one was good for the money, if i could change anything about I'd like a little wider stones and some finer grits beyond 800, i also think they could have done better with the clamp, I would have liked to see a double clamping system like you see on the TS Prof, they could have had it snap in just the way it does but have it longer with bigger clamps, i feel like they could still use the plastic tightening wheels on each side to tighten it down, since you have more reach with the stones on this unit it would make sharpening larger knives easier and I feel they would clamp in better too, I know that would add to the price of the overall unit but they could always release something like that down the road, either way i still love it, maybe other people think those ideas are stupid. Just my thoughts and opinions
Great video man! Thanks! I put a lotta money into my wicked edge system and I don’t why I kinda got fed up / bored with. I will give this badboy a try Indo have another worksharp tools arouns the house they do a solid job! 🤝👍✌️
I’m looking to buy a wicked edge seems the most solid choice may I ask why your not digging it before I drop the $
Wondering if anyone knows if someone has came out with additional grit stones or an aftermarket rod assembly for the pro. Scoured the web and only found accessories for the original.
This is awesome knife sharpening tool. Worth every penny. I sharpen my wustouf shun and bob kramer knives.
Chewing gum also works well at removing metal from magnets
yes, definately worth it. I love it, especially when you use lapping paper. When using the lapping paper, the edge gets scary sharp and very polished
Recently, literally a week ago, I got precision adjust unit. Although I feel pretty confident doing the freehand sharpening, I felt this system might help me with the tiny pocket knives. Well, apart from the fact that is hard to sharpen those tiniest knives on a regular PA (which is addressed in the PA Pro), I was surprised how much practice and skill was STILL needed for this guided system. All things considered I am happy with it and at the same time can't wait when the PA Pro will be available in Poland, so I can grab it as well. Thanks for answering all the questions I could ever have and for including the pain points. Cheers!
you should grab the clamp base and stone holder for that system then you can grab 1x4 diamond plates and your experience will be much better
@@NeevesKnives what companies make the aftermarket attachments?
this is the stone holder so you can use way better stones amzn.to/426zmZC
you can find more stuff on that same site look for the clamp base, if its not there they have them on etsy
The Polish distributor of the Work Sharp products also sells simple clamp base, which I got right away. For the stone holder I was able to find quite a few options, unfortunately rather expensive for what they are (mostly 3D printed plastic) or just unavailable to order to Poland (e.g. the stone holder from Gritomatic you linked below). Fortunately, like I mentioned, I feel pretty competent in freehand sharpening and this was enough to get pretty much all my pocket knives hair whittling sharp (with some help from various strops ;) ). Either way - thanks for taking the time to write actually helpful comment! I'm definitely staying around here for more of your videos :)
@@NeevesKnivesdoesn’t ship to the UK at the moment?
It looks great. I still suck at freehand so it’s worth it. Have a great weekend with the wife. Mine is acting like a Succubus today. She literally took about 4 years off my lifespan. Lol
Thanks for the review, I have the previous model and can't stand that the blade clamp play (unstable), so I like that they addressed that. Does it come with an actual case or just the box? or has anyone made a case for it?
Great review of this system. I went from Lansky to the precision adjust elite so this seems like it will be a good natural upgrade. However, I'd like to find a system that would also touch up my Tungsten blades and I wished there were even finer grit stones available for this system.
I have the kme now and use venev scorpion stones along with a few strops. I have since switched to a large paddle strop so if I can use my current stones with it then I will consider it once there are some aftermarket stone holder parts as mine are 4 inch stones for the kme
I hope you have the time to answer my question. I don't know how to sharpen, our kitchen knives are in much need of sharpening or replacement so that would be my primary usage although I do have folders and slip joints. I'd been considering the Wicked Edge as that seemed simple to use and perform well however it's very cost-prohibitive. If you have experience with Wicked Edge would you shed some comparison with this system? Thanks for your consideration.
This is what I imagined a pro-worksharp system would be! Sticking with my TSPROF but this looks very good! Great video, Jerad!
Which tsprof did you get? I have always wanted one
Yeah I'd say for anyone that can afford it, go w/ the Tsprof. As a designer/engineer, their(workshop) plastic block as a solution for the flexing issue makes me cringe.
@@BenjaminBrewer25 I have the Blitz 360.
2:26 the stone holder/guide should be double or triple sided so you can just rotate it to different grits… may not be as comfortable to hold but it’d be faster than reattaching every grit change.
All my friends review the same knives
Same flashlights and Same Sharpeners. Good thing I only follow a couple if you guys. I'd be broke.
Love your expertise!
Stay Sharp Sgt.SteveRet 🇺🇲
so the stone holder i have for the precision adjust wont fit this new one? i already have the Dog diamond stones i could use on this system the precision adjust is ok but like you said ya had to buy a bunch of attachments to make it worth it at all.
From the looks of the stone attachment, I think we would soon see a lot of aftermarket stones and strops targeting the WS Pro PA.
Looks fire
Need that tricks vid for sure. You’re a huge help. Are you lifting. Look bigger.
Jared, I had bought the precision adjust elite. I had not opened so I returned it. Going to get the pro. Hope it’s worth the extra $180.
I have the precision adjust and to stop the wobble I put a board under the clamp it’s ten times better with something holding it just like the slider that goes under that clamp
Gotta buy one of these idk if i should get a wicked edge or a tsprof kadet i bought a chaves today whats your opinion of those i know theyre made by reate but just wondering your thoughts ill send it to you for you to do a video on it if you want when it gets here
I would also guess that the way the clamp clips in, it allows for worksharp to introduce additional clamps. They could also make a rod and clamp that would take the other stones.
I was hoping you would check this one out. I really like the base for the small blades !!!
Jerad, thank you for the video I new from your response when I p.m. due on Instagram that you were going to like this, not thrilled about the two negatives that you said , then, again, I am not totally a perfectionist, and I’m sure this knife sharpener, as is what serve me extremely well . Thanks again for the video. Much appreciated.
My question is is their really a need to shapen pen blades over a wider system to accomodate longer blades instead?
I don't know brother these systems are monsters, I still get great results with my belt grinder attachment from work sharp especially cause I can go from pocket knives to swords...but I am practicing on diamond plates system you recommend...great job on the vid. dude
In cut testing the belt grinders did poorly over stones. But it is very easy to use. Especially for budget steels. It couldn't even sharpen my d2 knives though.
@@tacticalcenter8658 Can't argue the proficiency of stones, but I'm talking about versatility, I need a solution to sharpen all my blades including my big bowies and long swords, as well as my pocket folders. the belt grind attachment has served me well with screaming sharp edges. When you use the full range of belts and pay attention to detail the system works great.
I bought an adapter for other stones. Because i have a lot of higher grits.
Thanks for the video
I may have been just not used to it or I hadn’t got my technique down but it seemed to leave a pretty pronounced heel on my knives . I will say the edges were pretty good . I ended up giving it to a buddy in a trade for some old knives he had . I personally prefer the gatco sharpening system or my trusty dmt aligner for the most part as far as systems go but since I’ve mastered freehand on stones and sandpaper my systems di t see a lot of use anymore . Over all the worksharp is a good system especially at its price although it’s gone up in the last few years one could definitely do worse
Do your stones sit perfectly flush with the handle? Mine are sitting flush on one end and slightly raised on the other and I'm not sure if it's just the magnet being closer to one side, or the stones I've got are warped.
I really like my low dollar version. Recurve stones would be nice.
Great video as always. Love your content. Just some constructive feedback, it might be just me, but the background music was a little distracting in this one. Cheers.
i need to make time to learn/practice sharpening!
Too late, already ordered the TSPROF kadet pro and coming Wednesday. Anyway I prefer the machined aluminum which should last a lifetime. One of those cry now than cry later. Enjoy your video, keep up the good work 👏
Great review brother. $300 is a lot for that system. 😳
Couldnt you use the same stone holders as the old one but just run a drill bit through it to accommodate the thicker rod on the new one?
im gonna try this thing out. i been holding back on buying it because a few years ago i bought the ken onion belt sharpener everyone on RUclips said was great, the thing was a total piece of crap i sent back inside 60 minutes of owning it.
Second Upload ,
Super Video 👍
oh perfect, after i bought the expansion kit, they release the new system. but, from the last clip, it seems that the new jaws for knife is the weak point? instead of jaws flexing, now the knife it self had very much up and down play, or the spine was not installed as deep as it could?
Thanks for sharing. I just ordered the PA. Also went to the holder link you supplied for the 6” stones. What 6in 1200grit stones you recommend to use with the pa. Mostly own sv90 and magnacut folders
So the 6 inch holder from hapstone is the one you got right? If so on the same link my hapstone link which is in all my recent videos will have 6 inch stones look for the start stones, hapstone start can stones, make sure it's the start ones. If not those then use my neevesknives store link to search for Atoma 1x6 stones, now if you want to polish or if you want the stones on top of the ones from work sharp get the Venev centaur stones from hapstone link, 1x6 inch, you could get by with the 240/400 and the 800/1200, that is basically a 600 1200 3500 and 5000 grit becausethey are double sided. Really all you would need if you got the venev is one reprofiling stone like an atoma 140, or a 100 start. But you can get away with the plates you have from ws
What if you need to sharpen a full hollow grind or a full flat ground blade? Does any system available have attachments or something where you can get those sharp?
Wicked edge GO at $275 is a good mention as an alternative, imo. 👌
What knife is that in the beginning when you demo the magnet system? I love small thin knives
300 is a lot wished it was at least 200 - 220 as max but for me I'll wait till see after market stuff for it then see.
I would assume the cost of the stones put it higher.
I’ve been trying to save up to get the ts prof. The blitz is only what like another $100 and you can already use whatever stone you want with it. Would you recommend getting this over the ts prof ??
Is there any reason why the video is blanked out (black screen) from about 3:17 to 3:32? It's when you are putting the extra large knife in the holder, I believe. Thanks again for your great review!
Sweet 👍🏻
It's been a while since this came out, are aftermarket attachments available yet?
Would love to see your tips video. I always feel lost and I'm not doing it right. I have a Lansky
Would you recommend this for Japanese kitchen knives that have angles of 9-12 degrees?
when u making a tips video for this? i just bought it and aside from basic knowledge on sharpening knives I really have no clue on the correct process.
What size knife do you feel this sharpener can accommodate? Thanks
Do you recommend this sharpener for kitchen knives?
For those that have this and the KME which do you prefer? I’m starting to think this new WS system is a cut above the KME now, thoughts?
I just bought this over the kme. The system just seems more well constructed.
How thick of a knife would this unit be able to clamp on? And how long of a knife would it be able to sharp?
Hi there
Quick question what would you recommend to sharpen a ceramic stone with the work sharp pro.
Thanks in advance, I shared your video with friends.
Drop day? Did I miss it in the video? I’ve been googling it and nothing turns up. All results are for the og precision adjust. Looking for that version though.
Most Japanese kitchen knives have between an 8 to 12 degree angle how can I use this sharpener to sharpen these knives?
I'm not sure I like the price, but the fact that it has the magnetic holder for small knives is kind of a necessity for me because I mostly carry small 2 blade pen knives that a lot of people would consider too small.
One of my all time favorite knives is the Buck 305 lancer which I currently have 6 variants of, and I've had trouble finding an adjustable guided system that works with them.
They all use a clamp which is too big, and you'll just grind away at the clamp.
Ideally I'd like to see some kind of very thin low profile clamp, but I still may have to consider this.
Wicked edge might work
It is $250 on Amazon right now.
I picked up the pro unit about a week ago. Like it over my old KME sharpener. I am hoping work sharp or someone else comes out with lapping films.
if you go into my most recent videos to my hapstone link in the description, you will find a stone holder for your new system which will make your system even better as then you can use any stones you want
Stoneholder already exists I have one for my precision adjust, unless the rod is a different size?
EDIT : finished watching the video, well done neeves you didn't miss it. Well that sucks pretty not happy about this one from worksharp I would have definitely bought if I could use my dog stones
As someone with just a few knives, plus kitchen knives, I would love to see a value comparison between Lansky and both Work Shop systems. I've used the Lansky, as a novice, so not sure with training that would get me super sharp edges or this is worth the investment?
Have you seen project farms video? He has lansky and work shop but not the work shop pro.
MAJOR FLAW is clamping system .. Should use the KME holder as an example. Using a wider blade such as found in many home kitchens the blade flexes too much because the clamp does not hold enough of the blade. There is zero way I would take a chance on such kitchen knives as I am alluding to. Knives that work such as Spyderco PM2 this is clearly a KME on steroids., yet the blade holder for many common home kitchen wider knives is a total fail .
EXACTLY, why isn’t anyone talking about the mediocre clamping system. I experienced the same issues with my kitchen knives that have a 2mm or less spine and weigh over 6 ounces.
They flex in the holder entirely way too much, hell even on WS video demonstrating sharpening a kitchen knife or a cleaver(I forget) the blade is flexing a lot in the holder and he gingerly applying pressure. I had two of these systems and both clamps exhibit the same behaviour. If it was a cheap system I’d chalk it up but for $300 I expected better.
WS says to use these stones dry. Do you agree?
I've always lubricated my diamond stones. I'm not sure why they say not to for these??
