3:49 The Professional Precision Adjust comes with six sharpening stones and a leather strop!
4:33 Work Sharp put a ton of thought and work into this from community feedback!
5:49 This knife sharpener has a Digital Angle Indicator! Here's how it works
8:15 The Professional Precision Adjust can sharpen huge knives!

19:51 How to determine what angle your knife blade has for sharpening
21:17 The Professional Precision Adjust takes pro level sharpening and makes it easier for beginners
For anyone with the PA, if you have a 3d printer or know anyone with one, there are some really good easy to make parts to improve the PA for free to be found online. I printed a brace for the arm and a universal stone holder for mine, which makes it more than good enough for non professional use imo.
I’ve been baffled for years over why a manufacturer didn’t just make a system BEEFIER, and it looks like Worksharp have finally done it. I’m definitely in the market for one. I hope a few of those first editions make it over to the U.K. 🤞
This is an amazing improvement over an already excellent design! Props to Worksharp for listening to consumers and making these huge improvements!
Worksharp got people in the door with the regular precision adjust, and now they are giving people an option to step up to. Much better than starting expensive in my opinion.
Didn't they first claim the electric one was king. Then the Ken onion. Then worksharp . Then you need the upgrade kit. Now you need the pro.
I started out with the precision adjust, very quickly found it was excellent for small pocket knives. It, however, is very lacking for bigger blades, something it probably shares with this new version. I ended up progressing from the work sharp to a wicked edge system within a couple of months.
@@GertTown All you need is 3 whetstones, a shaping stone, a sharpening stone and a finishing stone, and a functioning brain/arms. That's all you need to take any knife from chipped and damaged to razor sharp and mirror polished. Three stones and extremely basic easy to learn skills. Quicker, easier, cheaper, better results. But. Knife land and knife bros are some boy brained man children.
@@jeffhicks8428 What 3 stones do you use?
@@UkuleleJayBBQ Hey man. It depends on two things. One, your preferences in stones. And 2, the needs you have, meaning the tools you have. The main thing that means is high vanadium carbide steels - yes or no. If no, then any high quality stones, I strongly suggest splash and go, will do. For example Shapton Pro. A 3 stone set is one of each type of stone. The 120 to 320 are the shaping stones. Pick one. The 1k to 2k are the sharpening stones. Pick one. The 5k to 12k are the finishing stones. Pick one. I suggest 220, 2k and 12k. Those grits are only for that particular line of stones. It will be different for different brands. A norton 4k for example is closer to 1k in a Japanese stone. You just need to know which stones are which. Now - If you do have a lot of high vanadium carbide blades, steels like say k390 or basically anything like that. Not very common, but it does exist. Then youre going to need either silicon carbide stones or diamond. I'm a fan of the 240 and 1k Sigma Select 2 stones, which use green silicon carbide and cut everything up to maxamet perfectly and don;t break the bank. The issue is the polishing stone. Youre gonna need diamond for that. Something like a Venev will do the trick. Or you could get the whole set with diamond stones but thats more expensive obviously.
The problem that isn't really solved (and inherent to this style sharpener) is the angle changing over the sweep - especially noticeable on a drop point in the 3-4+" range. You'll end up with a higher grind toward the tip vs at the heel. You can try to 'split the difference' by repositioning but the problem is still there.
Yeah,realy like my worksharp pa but tips are a pain to do.
Edge pro has never had issues there. You just rotate the knife as you sharpen.
Exactly... someone skipped their basic geometry class at school
The distance blade/grindi g rod pivot is far 4:07 too short. There are some sharpening Tools on the Marketing, with a very long arc radius, however all in the upmarket price range
Any system like this is going to have a bit of sweep angle variance. Most of the time if you sharpen by hand you will see variance in angle as well, as most people just don’t hold the knife perfectly as they progress. A bit of angle change toward the tip will not hurt the blade, and for that matter it will not be enough of a difference to make a difference for most people carrying a knife!!
I'm glad I waited this month. Thank you Zac!
I love how they are building in more quality with every iteration.
👊
I think it is a little overpriced considering that it still has a lot of plastic. I would ditch the little knife thing
and bring it in a lower price. Are the stones diamond, I wonder.
@@scsc9311 It's not expensive at all btw
@@gro967 Yeah it is. That price is pretty close to TSProf level. With plastic there is deflection. I would pay maybe 200 bucks for that if they got rid of the little knife attachment.
I’m a midget with fat fingers. I have arthritis terribly. I have lots of knives. I like the magnet strength of the magnets that holds things together on different parts so much that I found that I am enjoying the ‘magna-therapy on my fat fingers after I tore it all apart. I do feel much better, thank you
best review ever, i wish we had more content creators like you in TH-cam, Thank you for your work!...subscribed!
Looks to be a great improvement on the original. Well made, very stable and able to cope with a wide spectrum of knife sizes. To people that say the stones wear out quickly, my "Top Tip" is to clean them after each use with a Staedtler pencil eraser. It removes all the metal particles embedded in them and they come up like new again. I've used mine a lot and never had to replace a "worn out" stone.
I clean mine with blu tac,does the job👍
I never own a knife sharpener before & after seeing this video, I fell in love with this tool. My new Ka-Bar Becker BK2 Campanion BK2 would love a precise sharpening (like a haircut!) after a trashing of dead wood in the rainforest.
Its like going from a Lansky to a KME. I like the direction that WorkSharp is heading. I really hope we can get some lower grit stones. 220 is going to hold back the ability to reprofile or repair edges on the “super steels”. Great video as always Zak
I thought the same thing until I got this system and began using it. The 220 grit diamond stone is extremely aggressive. Even the 320 grit is very aggressive. I have found that I rarely ever use the 220 or even the 320. The 220 will effectively re-profile a heavily damaged blade. For a very dull and well used blade, I'll start with the 400 grit stone and work my way up thru the leather strop (400, 600, 800, ceramic hone and the leather strop). Most standard resharpening jobs only require 600 grit and up (that's 600, 800, ceramic hone and the leather strop). Lower grits may be necessary for some hardened tool steels, but i think they would rarely be used. These diamond stones are very aggressive. I just wonder how long they will last.
Finally Work Sharp! I went to a gun show years ago and picked up a Benchmade Presidio, and walked by an demonstrator for what was then the Work Sharp belt sharpener, their first one, and the guy wanted to show how it worked, and I too wanted to see how it worked and when he gave me my knife back, it now had a re curved blade! Not impressed! Not to mention the SPARKS flying off my knife blade! WTF? But finally, this looks like something I would be into!
Having sharpened enough blades on my precision adjust, I can see that they have really addressed any shortfalls of the original at a decent price. Thanks for showing it off for us Zac.
"decent price "🤣
I have given Work Sharp a lot of flack on the previous design. But it is sooo refreshing to see the Work Sharp listens to their consumers and did a MASSIVE improvement. Very impressed! Last but but very far from least having Zac introduce this to us. Well done!
At only + 5 times of the cost
Great to see worksharp improving on their systems. I have the ken onion with blade grinding attachment which is great for tools , cheaper blades and quick re profiling. For my nicer knives I have the wicked edge.
Darn you Zac. I just bought the other one about a month ago and got scary good edges using it. Going to have to upgrade!
Nice! I have the original and liked it a lot, but like everyone else I had the same concerns; nice to see that this new version addressed the shortcomings of the original.
I'm so glad I hadn't bought the work sharp standard model yet ...I'll definitely get this pro model now...great video bud 🔥🔥🔥
This vid made my day!
Got mine; I love it!!
Amazing system that is available for the price that most knife people spend on a quality knife. As a tsprof user the only thing I see that it lacks is the ability to use any stone available in that size range. But I'm sure there will be aftermarket parts to use any stones in the future. If I was new to sharpening and needed a system I'd definitely buy this.
I never sharpen a knife, yet I'm in love with this system... a ton of innovative ideas!!
Hi, i think this type of sharpening systems are not sharpening a blade on the original angle but on a forced angle and only if the blade is perfectly round with the same radius on the whole lenght of the blade this kind of system will work and i said not this sysytem but all the systems with only a pivot point.
If you are not in accord with me, you can make a video to show with the electronic angle meter to show everybody in different spots of the blade it is a different angle and that can damage the blades and messed up your entire angle of the blade because when you haveTHE SAME HEIGHT BUT DIFFERENT DISTANCE, THE ANGLE BETWEEN THE BLADE AND STONE CHANGE, and THATS NOT GOOD FOR THE BLADES.
After few sharpening sessions with these kind of systems you will have on a single blade a mutitude of angles that VARY with the shape of the blade, the more curves or chages of a direction of a blade has the more angles you'll have because, LIKE I SAID BEFORE, THE DISTANCE AND ANGLES ARE INVERSELY PROPORTIONAL then as one quantity increases, the other decreases.
Been doing research and sharpener watched video on the smaller one and was concerned about big knives was looking for do all and this sold me thank a lot lol purchased after watching
Great video Zac! After picking up the WorkSharp Professional Precision Adjust I nerded out for a week watching review/tutorial videos like this one before sharpening my first knife, an old Ruko 3.5" lockback I recently found again after losing track of it over 20 years ago. The blade was so dull and folded over it wouldn't cut a worm. I set my angle to 17.5 degrees, got started, and about 2.5 hours later I had a blade that effortlessly cut paper into fine ribbons and can take the hair right off my arm like a straight razor. The results I got even as a first time noob are truly astonishing.
Just keep on using it. You will find out that parts will wear out in two key points because of poor quality. You will notice a wobble in these areas.
@@sharpthingsinspace9721 Thanks, I'll keep an eye out. I've probably assembled it and disassembled it about 15 times and sharpened many knives and so far so good, no negative issues, just scary sharp blade edges. I'll have to switch over to my spare strop panel soon, but everything's working great.
Why does it take 2 hours?
@@davidsapir3764 I wish I could find the channel that had it longer than you. He made modifications to correct the problems but I never intended to buy it so I didn’t save it.
@@jps3b719 lol, because it was my first attempt. It takes me a lot less time now.
Merci beaucoup!🇫🇷
Thanks You!
Having declared my dissatisfaction with this sharpener last night th-cam.com/users/postUgkxDcr-y2Pf6xdnrFHrSP7dl9kpKaCozcSQ I thought about the problem some more. It occurred to me that I might be undoing each attempt at achieving a sharp edge by the repeated attempts. So, I tried to clean up the unsatisfactory result by honing with only positions 3 and 4.Miracle!! A really nicely sharpened chef's knife, more than enough to handle my needs. Admittedly, it did not reach professionally sharpened razor-fineness, but it is now significantly sharper than it was. A bout of breaking down carrots convinced me. So, major apologies to the manufacturer, Amazon, and all happy and potential owners! Follow the directions: don't buy it if you have ceramic blades; and don't overwork your knife blade.
Every adaptation they listen and innovate. Great video again good sir! Bata bing bata boom 🤯
Great demo, thanks 👍
I will guaranteed buy this sharpener. It literally resolves every issue I have with current sharpeners on the market.
It's awesome to see Work Sharp working hard at keeping up with the systems from outside of the US and making a really good US made sharpener available.
I'm also glad to see they have incorporated the idea of my Leading Edge magnetic platform and stabilizer that I designed for the regular Precision adjust into this upgraded system.
Well done Work Sharp!
US made ?????? Oh really
Very cool! Time to start saving up!
I need this, i love the last model
Thanks, that new one looks boss
Amazing
Dope video guys
Thanks for sharing this video, wish I had waited till this came out. Not that the original position adjust his bad, but this looks pretty good!
I returned the old system because I didn’t like the flex, definitely going to pick this one up I think they nailed it!
Really happy to see this. Ive had my eyes on the Wicked Edge for years but could never justify the price, this looks like it could be great for a much more reasonable price
I really love the original precision adjust sharpener. I would like to see an upgraded base to add to that original system
I can not tell you how much I appreciate the effort and ingenuity you fellas put into your work. Unfortunately, my wife would killmeif I boughtone of these new Precision Adjust units. Maybe in a ouple of years. However, I will continue to bragg up your products to my friends. Your ervice is also second to none.
I sharpen free hand but your review was so good I want to try one of these.
One thing they're still doing wrong is proprietary stones. Otherwise a very nice system that I'll probably end up getting
You are exactly right! I had the same thought watching the video!
@@Joe-lk6oc you can get very affordable stone conversion kits, allowing you to use aftermarket stones
@@nato1405 where can you get them ?
@@kenroman777Etsy I believe
I love what you can do with that monster, I have started a small collection of knives and I'm so tempted...
Wow they are proud of it!
Looks like a great piece of equipment. Might have to upgrade my sharpening system. Nice video Zac, keep up the good work.

This is great and seems to have addressed all of my concerns with the original. I really hope they sell that little digital angle guide separately, as the only other options currently aren’t designed for this exact application and it looks like it would snap right onto a KME or similar system. Great video👍
Tsprof do 😂
Perfect.
I have a KME with all the extras, and I might need to grab one of these… That built in angle cube is great!
I have a KME and the TSPROF was the big brother upgrade. Now this thing is like the baby of all the current sharpeners and probably at a cheaper price lol
looks like a well thought out and high quality product, thanks for the review!
Great video! a friend has the original and now i want this one!
Wow. Just wow.
🔥🔥
impressive
Very, very cool! I may just have to try a fixed system!!
That really is an incredible improvement. I'm totally happy with the worksharp precision adjust, but this new model might be a christmas present for myself... (depending on the price anyways... it's gonna have to be at least 3x the cost.)
Looks good and I'm going to pick it up. I still have my reservations on the small sharpening table though. It uses the same sharpening style that the Edge Pro Apex uses, but still has the same drawbacks. Because it's not clamped, it's up to the user to prevent the knife from moving which can be challenging, you can't feel for a burr when it's in place, and depending on the spine and belly of the blade, flipping it over might not get you symmetry so you'd have to constantly change that adjusting nut on each flip.
Happy to give it a shot for sure, but unless it's mind blowing, I'll most likely stick with sharpening small blades on the Ken Onion w/ Blade Grinding Attachment.

its not often Im this impressed
Zac, well done on your presentation!!! I will have to watch your video again to determine if I should buy this new version of the Precision Adjust Knife Sharpener. WS did there upgrade quite well.
Thanks!
I got the worksharp field sharpener in my tool box, I am not good at sharpening but it does the job. Looking forward to this though, hope my girl doesn't mind it being put in the kitchen!
Love it. We spend 200 plus on knives but don’t think about the systems we sharpen on. I for one can freehand, but it’s nice to have something like this for the CRKs or any of the high priced knives so they stay perfect. They should totally sell the angle gauge separate to use on the previous model!
You can buy those from anywhere, just search for a digital angle guage/cube
Just got my upgrade kit first of April, and bought some aftermarket 3D printed stuff off of Etsy (plus a digital angle finder). Spent probably around $150 bucks to upgrade my Precision Adjust. Then Worksharp is bringing this out...
Guess I better start saving up...
Very cool!
I have the original precision adjust and the guided sharpening system. This is a combination of the best parts of those.
I’m using my PA elite as we speak. This is Awesome. I don’t have any issues with mine, but this looks very well thought out.

I’m super stoked on it!
@@zacinthewild me too buddy! I’m looking forward in to buying one, but right now im out of money cause of my first big knife investment, im pretty new in the knife world😁 so im stoked on everything that makes me understand all of this a little bit better. Keep on cutting and have a nice day✌🏼
Yes, something I can sharpen my Espada XL with. Without having to take the blade off.
heyhey, you took my advice .
love it
Yes. I want!🎉
At 300 usd im going to have to see it compare to other systems in that range before I decide.
I have been using the precision adjust for a while and this new addition just looks incredible

Yeah I need one now
May 1 Pre-Orders open👊
Need this asap
I was just thinking need to get a nice sharpener to touch up my knives and a buddy of mine knives too along with the kitchen knives at the house and then of course Zac comes out with a video of one.
Great vid - was able to utilize a wicked edge sharpener years ago when I worked at a knife shop -- will say from the looks this surpasses that and at half the cost- 💥💥👊🍻

Wow, they made a ton of improvements. Now I wish I didn’t just get my regular worksharp adjust elite.
Sweet 👍🏻
It's better than older one but TS Prof Kadet is still the best
Great review! I just bought one. Hopefully it's the last sharpener I have to buy.
thank you for the video, I'm a pro-Chef and a EDC knife carrier. I use my own Knives for everything and my EDC breaks down boxes to scraping the gunk of the floor. I use the older Work Sharp Sharpener in my every day life. I sharpen my knives once every week depending on use. Where is the caring case? for such a wonderful tool to sharpen my knives I would love a hard case to put it away when not in use off my work counter. Also kind of disappointed as I went to the sight and the "Professional Precision Adjust" was sold out on the sight. Also I love the fact you don't need oil or water to use the sharpener
Honestly really good value for what it is. I'm just starting out my freehand journey with their Guided Sharpening System, but if I-a regular, amateur, knife enjoyer-were to get a fixed-style system, I think I'd go for this over a KME or TS Prof if for no other reason than the sheer value 👍🏼👍🏼
Only thing with the TS Prof is they have an arm for convex grinds.
Do you know the price? I'd say it is good value only if it's under 200 bucks. After that the systems you can get for 300 are way better
NVM, missed it but it's 300 apparently. I'd go for a Hapstone R2 at 250 or 280 instead (which I'm going to do in not so long)
Where are you finding an R2 for that price? Even without stones I don't see them for under $330.
@@ramonade_knives MSRP is usually higher than the sale price
Damn just when ive been aftermarket pieces for my OG precision adjust.
I need this in my life
I’ve never been excited about a sharpener and I cannot wait to pick this up. Incredible, just incredible work by sharp works.
That's a great sharpener..depending on pricing it has potential to be the best
Finally, a "precision" guided sharpener with a price-point for the professional, enthusiast, and even the discerning occasional sharpener. If that angle guide actually changes in zero-point-two-five-degree increments all along the threaded adjustment rod and is repeatable AND accurate to within +/- 0.5 AND +/-1.0 degrees, respectively, that alone could be worth the total price. (From a professional sharpener - I do charge money.)
I got to do a video on this while at shot show. Got home and realized the video never recorded. I was so disappointed. Rookie mistake on my part. Great video.
I made my own brace to steady the blade holder, I ran into the same issues with small knives. I ended up scraping away some of the jaws. Nice sharpening system, but now its as expensive as a KME. Too bad. Nice video. 🔪🎸
I have the wirk sharp with the small belts. You pull the knife thru. It works ptetty good.
Neat. I'm never and early adopter though. I'll forgo the mat, "Ranger" patch and first run marking to wait for a Black Friday deal. (Note: I already own the Elite).
Nice upgrade, I have the original, but am willing to spend the extra money for these upgrades. I’ll sell the original, or bless one of my friends with it. Thanks for the video and info.
I like mine, this one looks a bit better! I may get one just cause! I’ve learned to re love older knives when I sharpen them!
Wicked Edge & K.M.E, *_count your days._*
With the OG precision adjust, I can get an edge to whittle a hair. But I can't wait to make that process way more enjoyable. Ceep up the great work, I love what you do
It’s all about burr removal 😅
Pretty much yeah
I bought the precision just a few weeks ago, along with some mods. Guess I’m gonna eat the cost and get this one. Hopefully someone comes out with some stone holders for six inch stones soon.
I love it. I bought a precision adjust as soon as they came out (feels like it's been 2+ years) and it's been a great little sharpener for me, but just like you mention in the video I wish it was a little better for my tiny folders (I usually carry under 2.4" blade folders) and my big fixed blades (with fixies I carry huge blades hahaha and yes I do have a Tops El Chete and have dozens of even bigger choppers). This looks like it will take care of those.
Thank you Work Sharp, I'm definitely buying one of these
This is a game changer
I hate that word but it actually applies here😁
Love you Zac. I make custom knives and always strive for an ultimate and precise edge because it’s fun. This system looks great. I would just sharpen the small knives freehand, but I can see how a lot of people might not fell cool with that. My only gripe about this sharpener is the magnets. I can’t stand it when my blades are magnetized and avoid it every step of the way. I want those particles to fall off my edge and my stones, not get in the way. Maybe I’m sensitive to it because there’s a ton of small particles in my shop that latch onto anything magnetic. I just don’t like the idea of a custom $600 kitchen knife leaving steel particles in food that it picked up because it’s magnetized.
You can buy a demagnatizer at any local hardware store

I like the upgrades a lot. I do wish they had a blank guide you can use 4" stones but I'm sure Gritomatic is already looking to design the piece. Will definitely upgrade from my base model PA.
Hopefully they will come out with some blanks for lapping film

This is true, and I had concerns initially with these types of systems. You can adjust for this as you approach curves, but I have come to the conclusion that a degree or two on a 10 inch chef’s knife is not going to make a huge difference. Especially true if both sides are sharpened to the same angle. Don’t get caught up in all of the mathematics, unless you want to do it freehand on a stone.
I've got 1 like that but it's the original version. Whetrock. I love collecting it too but it amazes me what people will spend on a knife.
I got a Spyderco Sharpmaker to start sharpening and it worked but I think I have to try one of these, too.
The Sharpmaker is a great system too!
