I bought this complete system after watching this video. I'm by no means a sharpening pro I'm a novice but with this system I've been able to put razor sharp edges on all my knives and with the ceramic rods I've been able to get my serrated blades to razor sharp. it's a fail proof system! Thanx for the video!!God bless!
+Daniel De La Cruz thanks. It's always good to hear confirmation of my opinions. It is truly a great system
Excellent instructional video!
LOVE that Worksharp! Great video here Brian!!!
I appreciate you mentioning it can do bigger blades I watched Chris’s and kinda sad shocked when he said it’s just perfect for small knives
This was my third video, watching , on this brand, & it was the best! Thanks.
Thanks. I appreciate it.
Thanks for the review. I just bought the complete system. It seems to be a nice alternative to using the sharpening stones. Just an fyi, if you're sharpening a really expensive knife, they recommended to cover the rest of the blade with masking tape to protect the blade from being scratched. Personally, I would use the blue painter's masking tape so no residue is left behind.
I would think if you have a knife that you are concerned about being scratched you probably won't use it enough to need sharpening anyway ;-)
I've got the Worksharp belt drive system. It's amazing for kitchen knives. Boot knives not so good. Folders pretty darn good for a quick three two passes on each side touch up. It's EZ to ruin tips and my swiss is just eaten up the small blade, but I was new when I sharpened it and didn't realize how much it was taking off and how quickly. I did my Gerber pro and I'm not getting hair cutting sharp but I'm getting paper cutting and really nice feeling sharp to my finger. Which is good enough. I love the fact as I said it takes about two minutes to put an edge on most blades. Worksharp puts out some nice products. Once you learn how to use them. Thx Brian.
+Jeremy Goldberg I have a Ken Onion Worksharp but I still need to dial it in.
Great job showing the product and how to use it
Thanks!
Nice job on the review Bryan. I now know what was missing from my scrapped attempts to review this system. Thanks buddy!
I was really impressed with the results using this Michael.
Hey Brian you make some awesome videos thank you for sharing very nice sharpener 👍👍👍👍
Newbie here...I came late to the party!
I was just delivered my 1917 Frontier Bowie by Cold Steel and it won't cut butter.The blade is so big(12.25in) that it seems that there isn't enough stone to sharpen the entire blade in one pass.
What do you think? Can it be done?
Thanks for the video and your efforts!
I am really digging this work sharp. More so then The belt system. I must check this one out. One more item on my wish list.
Lt Survival I like this one so much that I'm finally about ready to check out the belt system.
I use the smaller, more portable version of that called the guided field sharpener. It's great to throw in a bag or take with you outdoors. The thing works like a charm. I'm not the best knife sharpener, but I took some old useless blades from dull to shaving my arm hairs in a few minutes. Work Shsrp puts out good stuff IMHO.
Craig Sheppard This is the first Worksharp product I have used and they have made me a believer.
Loving the old school knife.
Not bad for under $10. Although they have gone up a little since Dave Canterbury started recommending them.
Sure goes work pretty good!
Yes it does.
instaBlaster...
I think it is a great system. Great review man!
***** Thanks Larry. How's the diving going?
I need to shave. I will after the gathering. I need a lot of practice.
Best sharpening system I seen this far as I don't like guide rods etc, might have to pick up one of those.
I usually freehand sharpen and strop, but that takes some concentration to get it right, with those start angle guides its easy enough to sharpen a blade even on days when your not quite up for it.
SignedSign I have been an old school whetstone guy for well over 40 years and I am now a happy convert to this system. It just plain works.
@Survival On Purpose they even have a whetstone set too if you like it
Your the man Brian, I knew about the field version, but this Guide System is looking good, Thanx Brian.
It made me a believer. It really is spent get stuff sharp.
I was about to comment that you missed the built-in 22 degree angle but you mentioned it briefly in passing at about the 12:30 mark. I think that several people are missing this when doing their reviews. I am hoping to have my kit by the end of the week so that I can do some fine tuning of my own blades.
Now that it's been a few years since this video. How would you rate this sharpening system today. Do you know of anything else that would be better or is this system it and no other is needed for sharpening knives.
Better is so subjective. There are many good choices, this is just one. Honestly, I use my EZE-LAP folding diamond stones more than anything because they are so convenient. I've got a video on them if you search the channel.
Thx Brian. That looks like a real nice sharpening set. It has been added to my "to get" list. I like how it pivots to keep the stone on the blade.
Jerry
Jerry Morris It is one of those "why didn't I think if that" deals.
When I got my Leuku (Stromeng KS 9), my friend with new family couldn't afford a Leuku, so we talked about how similar the Old Hickory Knife was to a Leuku, he made a usable sheath and it work's great, I think the Leuku design landed on this side of tge pond because there's too many similarities between tge two, Thank You for sharing this system Brian. Oh at 1/3rd tge cost.
Thanks for watching.
Grrrrrr holding a cigar and type on my I PAD I keep missing the "H", sorry about tgat, I should proof read my posts
Sharpening and teaching tool combined. Upgrade kit appears mandatory. Will likely buy these items after watching Gauntlet series just as I bought a Gerber Strongarm. Manufacturers marketing departments figured right.
Stay tuned soon for a different but very cool sharpening system.
Great review. You could pop of the guards and lock it in place to sharpen scandi ground blades as well.
Dwight Kalezra off*
Dwight Kalezra You just lock it in place and remove the angle guides to sharpen a scandi grind. I really only had time to show one blade or it could have been a feature length film ;-)
Very impressive system. Thank you Bryan.
John Hufnagel Yes it is John. Thanks.
The field sharpening system is wonderful! I prefer the Spyderco system for home sharpening though.
beauxtx1959 You should try this one before you make up your mind.
This looks like a great system for someone new to sharpening knives. Looks like a truly KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid) system.
It just plain works
Very good explanation/review.
Thanks. I appreciate it.
Awesome review. I'll have to check this out. Thanks Bryan.
Chris Stinson It works very well.
... I just bought a Smith's trihone because I love sharpening things by hand ... I was wondering how this compares? I do have a ceramic rod too... Soo?
Do you recommend me this system for leatherman wave and charge multitools. Need the upgrade kit or only the basic
Been meaning to buy this and put it in my pack.
+Brian Mccann it works
Great system
I like it, Bryan....great demonstration too.....it's already on my 'buy list.'
Gare Long You'll be glad.
Great job Bryan. Good review, it looks very interesting.
James Cooper Thanks James.
That's really cool Brian.
I agree
I gotta get the upgrade kit
They have some new stuff out now
Great video bryan. Looks like ot would be a great addition to my spyderco sharpmaker.
Austin B. It works great.
I grew up in the 70s and 80s with a father that used an oil stone. I also use oil on my stone. I guess I am behind the times. This is a real mind melt for me.
***** I grew up the same way but this really works great. 21st Century stuff.
Totally made sense, you explained it well.
NewHampshire Bound It totally works too. Thanks.
Magic eraser works well on cleaning ceramic rods. 👍
Thought it recommended to drag the knife,or am i just stuck on wet stones?
woodcraft camper I did exact;y what the instructions said with this knife.
Cool new tool, enjoyed the review. I am going to get one.
You won't regret it.
How do you clean your ceramic rod?
Why do you strop at a higher degree angle?
By the way Brian the 14" Old Hickory is what he's using, I have a serious question Brian, can this system sharpen a Convex edge like on my Bark River Bravo 1, actually I like putting a convex even on my Saber Grinds like my Swamp Rat Rodent Series I call it the saber vex grind, another thing you can carry this sharpening system in the bush and in camp it's compact enough. I think they even have a smaller one too ?
I don't know bout a convex edge. Since it's a flat stone I'm not sure how that would work. And I don't know if. Smile guider system. I know they do have a Field Sharpener.
Unless you can convex the secondary edge when your stropping ?
paulie 4x If you can you are better than me.
There is a video where a guy gets a convex out of just stropping the edge it's on RUclips.
I ain't that guy ;-)
Thanks for a great review. It got that butcher knife wicked sharp. I love those Old Hickory butcher knives.
dalton vickers It absolutely rocks.
The paper slicing convinced me!
Wasn't that revealing.
Survival On Purpose Indeed Bryan....carving on feather sticks and batoning, etc...are all critical. But...the hair and the paper tell the tale!! A really great review. As always. I subscribe to 25 channels, but you remain number one for me!!! Unless I missed him, Little Stinky didn't like the subject matter of this review! Can't say I blame him!! hee hee....
Charles Larson You missed him ;-)
Survival On Purpose OK...NOW I see the method in the madness...that skunk is so stealthy that I have now watched this video THREE times!!! And still missed him! Pretty sneaky yourself Bryan!!!!!!!!!! >;)
Charles Larson You know what I like about Bryan's channel? it's the level of reality. there's a mess of bushcrafters that act like hey this is all you need... IT ISN'T. I mean look at how idiotic some of these people look on Naked and Afraid and Alone... People with the skills we all practice. Skill is NO sub for preparation. I mean the Boy scout motto told us that when we were 12..... I ain't saying don't LEARn how to make fire with a ferro rod or a bow drill... most fires I light I light with a lighter. I mean, on the real... regular fella... I wouldn't EVER agree to a long term challenge on 10 pieces of kit... IMO that's foolish... 21 days sleeping in a space blanket, I could do it, but that is equally stupid. In MY 4wd I have many tools, Spares a CB and my go bag that covers Dave Canterbury's 10 c's well.. Nah about 8 of them. Oh and 6 thirty minute road flares...... I mean my man they wouldn't have invented all this crap if it wasn't needed... Go into the wilderness with no firearm? MADNESS.
Another outstanding review Brian! I was waiting for you to turn and throw that Old Hickory and stick it lol!
;-)
Brother I have a very important question to ask. I really suck at sharpening. I'm no good. Every time I try, I just make the knife duller. Seriously. I'm working exclusively with long, big knives. What I need to know is would this system be a good one for me to learn sharpening on, while bearing in mind that all my knives are big ones.
I don't see why not. Just don't over-think it. Bottom line, remove just enough metal at a consistent angle to get sharp.
@@SurvivalOnPurpose ok man. Thanks a million for the reply.
@@OmegaMan999 it's awesome for beginners because the way it pivots helps keep you from messing up a knifes tip. Tips are usually the first thing a beginner screws up. I love mine and the only con I have found is all your friends will want you to sharpen their knives lol. Get the extra kit with the extra fine, extra coarse and strop plates and you'll be sharpening like a pro in a few hours!!!!!! Good luck!!
Good review! Very versatile system. Cheers, Marc
I simply works. Thanks Marc.
I need to sleep bryan and you just uploaded a video, so sleep can wait haha. Awesome review man!
It is a great piece of gear.
Survival On Purpose Price?
$53 for the Base system and $35 for the Upgrade Kit.
Great review Bryan, I been thinking about getting one of the worksharp sharpeners, but don't know which one, the original cost about $70 and this one is $60 + $35 for the other kit. $70 for the one that runs on power, or $95 for a manual one! Which one do you think would be better for a fella that's not-so-great at sharpening. Thanks
Well, the main difference (other than the electricity thing) is that the electric Worksharp puts a slight convex edge on everything. The Guided system allows you to put a flat bevel. I have never used the electric ideal but I know a lot of people who swear by it.
Is the extra stones a must have, or can you live without them, I just hate to buy the manual one and end up paying more, and I'am on the fence about the convex edge of the electirc, I reckon I will have to think about and just pull the trigger one one of them. Thanks for the info!
If you can swing it the upgrade kit is well worth it. It does a good job without it but the upgrade is like icing on a cake. Especially the leather strop. And the 220 grit is great for really bad edges.
So do I hone before stropping on this system? Or strop first?
Stropping is the last step
@@SurvivalOnPurpose ok appreciate it
Nice system
***** Yes it is.
Very nice review!!
Thank you.
Good review Bryan. And you kept it under 20 minutes too :)
Barely.
Survival On Purpose Baby steps man, baby steps....lol
Hi.
Anybody know how I can buy spare Coarse and Extra-Coarse diamond plates
for the Work Sharp Guided Sharpening System? I tried the Work Sharp web
site, it is a VERY basic site. I found pages on the Coarse and Extra
Coarse diamond plates, but there are no buttons to BUY or ADD TO CART.
I've scoured the Internet, but so far, the only hits I have found for
individual Coarse and Extra Coarse diamond plates are the Work Sharp
site. Amazon doesn't sell them individually.
Any and all advice gratefully received
Cheers
Try a different browser. I'm using Google Chrome and both of those have buy buttons for me.
Best controlled angle sharpener I've used so far is the Edge Pro Apex. Nothing else is even close. I use a Lansky hone to sharpen a lot of knives, take them up to 2000 grit and strop them. But if money was no object it would buy an Edge Pro. There's much to be said for old school sharpening though and some guys might call me gear dependent, to them I say oh well, an Arkansas stone is gear too. (I can sharpen with just a regular stone)
Jake Riethmeier Yep, there are lot's of ways to skin a cat. (Do you think that phrase will get PETA on my case?) I haveto say this one is quickly becoming one of my favorite cat skinners though.
I have an Apex pro. Nice polished finish, but takes forever imo.
This one was pretty fast/ But, to be fair, it's 1095 steel too. It took me longer on some of my stainless kitchen knives.
Yeah 1075, 1095, 420hc and aus8 all seem to like getting sharpened even that 154 cm works pretty good for me. Some of that alphabet soup steel in chinese made knives boy is that stuff a bear and usually its given for sharpening dull to the point i can try and slice myself with it and not get cut. Kitchen knives, I guess it just depends on which one I'm sharpening. All of mine take it different. Edit and the Peta offices are in the next city over... But I ain't one of them.
I ain't either.
can it work on TANTO / KUKRI ? or mid to large size knife ?
It can sharpen almost anything. For a recurve you use the ceramic rod insert.
Survival On Purpose Do you know the Price?
I don't remember right now and I'm not at my computer. Just click the link below and you can find out the Amazon price.
$52.50 for the base system and $34.95 for the Upgrade kit.
how does the diamond surfaces compare to DMT brand diamond surfaces?
+Tom Goodwin I don't know. I never tried DMT.
Excellent video!
Howard Manley Thanks Howard.
Hi Bryan, Great review but a couple of questions: Will the gauntlet reviewers be giving these systems away? Just asking as from what I understand the 'Gauntlet was set up to address two main concerns A) Reviewers may be biased as they are getting items for free to review and keep & B) Smaller companies are able to get a single item through several reviewers, ie they can't afford to give away 10 items.
Now I see larger companies (Schrade, worksharp etc) giving the gauntlet an item each and we're back to the old system? Just a thought as the idea of the Gauntlet was a great step to alleviate viewers concerns and give some good exposure to smaller companies & I'd hate for it to stray from it's intended purpose.
castortroy365 That is still the way it is intended to work. However, certain situations may arise that require a little flexibility. For example, Worksharp wanted us to each have a chance to get familiar with the system so they sent us all one. Which kind of makes sense since it isn't like a knife where you're testing the edge durability and etc. As for Schrade, they sent several samples of Chris' knife to a couple of us, but we are still passing them around. Mine went Feral Bushcraft and will be traveling on from there. Since I had issues with the factory edge, Jon went ahead and reviewed a different sample and had the same concerns. Without writing a novel here, the spirit of The Gauntlet is alive and well. The original premise is still valid and we are doing our best to handle each situation in the most effective manner.
Just please bear in mind also that another one of the premises of The Gauntlet is to give the viewers a wide range of opinions on a particular piece of gear. We actually had a sort of "brain storming" session last night to discuss some of these very topics. One thing that came up was about branching out to cover more than just knives. As we add more variety there will be situations where we have may need to feel our way through.
And, we are still focused on providing smaller companies some much needed exposure but that doesn't mean we are going to ignore larger companies either. One of our goals is to bring as many high quality products as we can to The Gauntlet so viewers can make informed buying decisions.
I just hope everyone realizes that this entire process is still in its infancy and we are sure to have some growing pains. Please rest assured we are committed to making The Gauntlet a fair and unbiased place for you to check out gear and for manufaturers and makers to get needed exposure for their stuff.
And (I got to rambling and almost forgot) we're working on a Worksharp Giveaway. Please be patient and stay tuned.
Thanks for the in depth reply Bryan :) I understand there will be unique situations along the way with teething problems and of course those who will never be satisfied no matter what lol.
I'm sure 'The Gauntlet' is in good hands with some of my favourite reviewers in charge.
I'm outside of US, so don't really expect entry's into giveaways as I realise postage/customs regs make this prohibitive, but I love the reviews and concept.
Hi Brian good review its a very nice and clever tool i am impressed. I am still in the medieval times when it comes to sharpening i do with sandstone :-) but i get em rasorsharp too and can shave hair with it but it takes some time and it depends on the steel. Stay well!
Shadowman You can absolutely get a knife sharp many ways. This one just makes it drop dead simple.
Its really a very nice system i enjoyed the review it seems to be pretty easy to sharpen with. In my opinion the upgrade kid could be a bit more afortable (cheaper) sry my english sucks sometimes when i cant spel the word i want :-)
Shadowman It is a nice system and is very easy to use. In my opinion a lot of things could be more affordable ;-)
True :-) i think i ll go with their guided field sharpener its more affordable for me :-) But if they would make the upgrade kit cheaper much more ppl would probably buy it. More sold pieces = more money for them. Have a nice day!
Im tempted to just buy the upgrade and glue them to a block of wood thats a value on its own two diamond plates a strop and compound for 35 bucks is good
I'm completely serious when I say I think you would be missing out if you do that. The system is just so versatile. I don't know of anything else on the market that really compares.
Will it sharpen kukri?
+exflow2000 surw
when u change grit,do u have to feel the burr
+RENGHEN NAGOOLEN PILLAY I don't really pay attention to that.
Brian, you ruined my comment, you have so much hair on your arms, you obviously don't test your blades sharpness but then you did! LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!))
Thanks. I appreciate it.
what is the purpose of the burr in the initial strokes ?
+Happy Camper It's just a result of the sharpening process because when you remove the metal from one side it eventually gets so thin that it bends to one side and forms a burr. It's not really a "purpose", more like a "result"
+Survival On Purpose Maybe the question should be: why not make one pass in each side, why you need to make about 10 passes have a burr, then 10 passes on the other side. I saw the promo video and they actually recommend a few passes up the point that the burr is obtain. I know that when you pass a single side is like a micro bending on the edge, what I do not get is the need to pass a single side until the burr is there. (hope burr is spell correctly)
Happy Camper I know I am 7 months late, but basically creating a burr and then moving the burr to the next side will straighten the edge and brings it to its fullest potential
The purpose of a burr in the initial strokes is, creating the "apex" of the edge. What is the "apex" of an edge? The apex of the edge is the point where the sharpening of both sides of the blade meets. Once burr is created on both sides of an edge, the blade is already sharp, so either move to the next stone with a higher grit, or start the stropping process to remove the burr, and give the edge a polished look.
The reason they tell you not to run off the edge of the stone is negative you round the tip of your knife. a lot of people like to keep their tip needle sharp
+Mrsingingdude1 Exactly
thanks!
Thanks for watching.
You apologized for saying honing a knife. Yes, stroping is the new term but in my eyes, you are finishing it. I feel this is correct. Call me out, that is fine.
***** I waas just using their terminology. I usually just call it all sharpening.
great review. gracias
de nada
We like long videos!!!
Man I hope so because I am failing miserably at keeping them short ;-)
Guns N' Loaded I agree 100%
42 year warranty. Where'd they come up with that number ?
James Hawkins That's how long they have been in business.
Say, Heah Brian, It's a great Sharpening System that you can pack it away in a backpack on extended trips, Now that's what I'm talking about, Yeah, I indorce this product, heh heh heh, , ,
+paulie 4x It just plain works.
Yeah it does, , ,
My husband wants this 😂😂bad,!!
It works pretty good. Christmas is coming ......
You know how those gauntlet reviews are, they just yap it up for way too long. Hey we watch these videos because we want to see all ya all fighting with the good and the bad. We all just want you to be honest.
***** I don't want to fight. I might get beat up ;-)
i think work sharp should comme up with a battery power work sharp :P
patdud1979 What a cool idea. I agree by the way.
At least yah know the old hickory blade is food safe. ?8^)
Dwight E Howell For sure.
I wonder if I could sharpen a sword with it
Dylan Lewis You got me on that one.
Hey if like to see you review this system. I'd like to see how it stacks up against this work sharp system.
