So good to see Kyle and Kurt on the same set. This warms my little heart.
Damn Ben! Miss you on this show!
It’s good to see you again!
Where have you been Ben!?
Please come back for a guest appearance, at least once Ben we're begging you

RIP headphones. I love every one of yalls videos! I'm the woman who always has a knife on her. Everyone asks to borrow it or for me to cut something for them. I own a Kershaw Blur Ken Onion. I've had it for 5 years. Its gone through so much and been around the nation. It has also cut me out of my car during an accident. I had the tanto version before that. It was difficult to keep from rounding the corner during sharpening. These might be the solution! My list for knifes right now is: Esee 6, Esee izula-2, Benchmade bugout, Dessert Warrior Kalashnikov, and Gerber Auto 6. Still looking for more to add to the list. Thanks guys!
Only thing I wish WorkSharp would do is clearly label the inside of the belts. I'm color blind and it makes it difficult to know which belt is which.
Touche thanks for the feedback.
You don't have fingers?
This is also one of my major complaints, and it's one that I've seen from others as well for a LONG, LONG time. They can print x65, x4, etc, but can't print the ACTUAL grit on the belt?
I have the same problem, there are other companies that make belts for it. That do print on the belt
There is nothing wrong with your color vision. You and I and my grandfather are correct!
The rest of the planet has bad vision!!!
👍🏼👍🏼
Thenks for a video. I own a worksharp Ken onion edition with grinder attachment for like 5 years. Now I use it mostly for kitchen knifes and axes.
On my opinion, advantages:
-speed, sharpen a full set of kitchen knife within an hour,
- sharpen different stuff like swords or axes.
- it can fix a geometry of the knife if you broke a tip, or get cracks on the edge. It will not take so much time comparing to other sharpeners.
- it can do a convex edge.
Disadvantages:
- it rouns a tip. Now matter how you sharpen.
- you will never get a not curved edges.it will always some sort of convex.
- creates a lot of dust so don't use it on a kitchen, work in the garage or workshop.
- you need to be extremely precaisious when sharpening a thin edges like 0.2mm. most likely geometry will be ruined.better use more presice equipment like tsprof or edge pro.
Cheers to all.
Everything you said was dead on unless you lived, breathed and worked onion and workshop dish machine ruined more knives than rust
Literally bought the Ken onion edition 4 days ago and love it! Great option for someone that wants a good edge without the time to invest 90 minutes into a knife set
Well I have the Ken Union edition and after watching this video I'm glad there is still hope I'm on 10000 strokes and still my knife is dull Maybe someday
@@keviningles5580 Its a bit of a learning curve,i struggled at first ,unneven bevels,rounded tips,but can now get razor edges in minutes.stick with it,its worth the effort👍
I guess that leaves me out I don't do the Instagram thing. Some people just don't like Instagram and that's not fare when you have drawing or contest just on that platform! But great video, I look forward to the next one.
Totally agree
My thoughts exactly!
I got the Ken Onion edition with the accessory, been using Arkansas Oil stones or Japanese Wet stones for years, but the Ken Onion let me get great results faster and now I can easily do all my serrated blades. I hadnt even thought of being able to get blanks and make my own knives. Thanks for this video!
Hey, BladeHQ when are you guys having your anniversary sale? The last couple of years its been in march.
Only company that makes sharpeners that I literally think I would use every model they make and often
I use the blade grinding attachment, and you honestly can't beat it....its the best sharpener I own(many of which are on that table).
Great video i have the grinder attachment and love it plus they do military discounts. Thanks for supporting the troops
I have an original Work Sharp and it def gets it going quick, but I kept rounding the tip. I think the 2.0 is a great improvement, just wish I could get a guard swap, instead of buying a whole new unit.
🙌🏻 YES!!! Any possibility of that being a thing?
Yeah me too. I think the trick is to not pull the knife all the way through, stop before the tip gets to the middle of the belt.
I also own the Orginal Work Sharp system. I’m noticing that my guide is showing wear where the knife’s edge has cut through. My concern is that has that changed the angle of the edge? If so I’d like to purchase a replacement guide. How can I achieve that!
Just put in an order for the precision sharp and I’m stoked! I have a decent stone but have found that I have trouble getting an even edge especially on the longer blades. Been looking for a sharpener this style for a while but they’ve always been too expensive. Stoked to try this!
I legit just bought the field sharpener and got it in the mail yesterday. It's one of my most favorite things I have
Very nice choice! 👍👊
Same bro. I've had mine for about 2 years now and I can STILL put an edge on some D2.
field sharpener is dollar for dollar one of the best investments in tools I've made, I've had mine for 3 or 4 years now.
With the stones removed, doubles as a broadhead wrench. So much thought and work went in to making the field sharp a perfect tool!
Had the original for 5 years, then got the Ken Onion, and it changed my life!!
I love Work Sharp. I've got the Ken Onion and Precision Adjust. Love the whole family of solutions!
I really appreciated this video. Those electric sharpeners always intrigued me, but like Kurt just made me too nervous. Now I feel confident in buying the Mark II.
I will buy this after watching this video !! Love blade HQ
I've had a field sharpener for about 2 years now and got one for my grandson, we love them. I've been thinking about the Ken Onion Sharpener for quite a while and just bought the mod 2. Used it on a machete first then a folder. If I would have tried to do the machete with a stone it would have taken forever. It is sharper than when I bought it new. Next week I will be going after the mower blades.
The precision adjust is awesome. Just got one and all my edc’s are shaving sharp
Can't wait for the precision adjust
I love my Ken onion edition with the tool grinding attachment, the standard grinder attachment is good but the tool grinding one is so much easier to get a consistent Edge all the way down
How long do the belts last before you need to replace belts?
Even thier cheapest 10 dollar small sharpener is well thought out and works amazing..they are an Awesome company!
Love the video content in this knife banter. Learned a few things too! I have the field sharpener and LOVE it. That precision sharpener might be making its way to my desk 😀😃🙃🙂🤟😁
I've sharpened over 100 knives with the field sharpener. Everything from expensive benchmades, to axes, the thing is an amazing piece of gear.
Me too. It feels wrong to say though. Lol
Been using the Ken onion for years. Takes a little bit of learning for those new to sharpening, but it’s superb. Also have the extra attachment for larger items but rarely use it.
How flush do you want the spine of the knife to be against the angle guide?
WorkSharp is my go-to for sharpening I've got the Guided diamond pivot system with the upgrade kit, in my mind that's the best all around system. Also got the OG power WorkSharp, gotta get my hands on one of the adjustable systems especially if it's coming out with more attachments
I’ve got the original KT sharpener. Would love to have WS release a upgrade guide for the original like the new MK2 version.
Love my ken onion edition with blade grinding attachment,and guided field sharpener
I always use either a Spyderco double stuff, or a sharpmaker to sharpen my knives but the powered ones r cool
Kurt was about to sharpen his face if Kyle kept turning on the sharpener
@ 26:10 i like how he said on his knife he customized his blade to be more surgical closer to the tip of the blade. On back l to the rear of the blade is more eough for cutting thick rope.
Just used my new Precision Adjust tonight to sharpen my folk's knives. So dull to start I couldn't even slice through a banana with the peel. Afterwards? Like warm butter! Great product!
I'm looking to purchase the Precision Adjust next.
I find the angles on the first gen are different on both sides, one side would be ground down more then the other, so I just use without the guide
Thanks. Bought one!
My Ken Onion and Precision Adjust are my favorite sharpeners! Just want more grit options for my Precision Adjust.
If you had to choose between the two what would you suggest to someone
I legit have almost everything from worksharp, I just need the mk2 and the precision adjust
Wow, I'm stoked! 🤣
My biggest problem with the original worksharp was rounding tips even stopping when the tip just hit the belt it just doesn't haven't the tension you need.. I won't use it on my edc folding knives anymore but it's great for big choppers and machetes other than keeping the grind consistent like talked about it needs a tensioner adjustment
great setup love mine the only thing I wish I would have gotten with it is a hard case to store it when I am not using it
I don't have much space to keep it on the countertop or a bench so I keep it in a Box but it's messy. I have been looking at the KEN ONION EDITION KNIFE & TOOL SHARPENER for some time now and I would like to get it with the other attachments. the only thing that is stopping me from getting it is the hard case to store it
I would have liked to see a before/after demo how well it cut before and after being sharpened. But I'm seriously giving the Work Sharp Ken Onion a shot at my dull kitchen knives.
Would love to see a video on Flytanium and other mod manufacturers
I might get masacred for this but cam someone explain to me why I should spend 80$ on a mini belt sander when I can get a big belt sander for 40$ or a horizontal belt sander for 60$
I have a ken onion with the blade grinder attachment and it is kickass
Very cool Knife Banter🙌🏝🍻🍻
can the mk2 do recurves? I can freehand most of my knives but recurves gimme the most trouble, even if I use different ceramic or diamond rods on it.
This is the best video I’ve seen! I’m seriously interested in learning the sharpening trade. Question, do you know where you can go and learn more about it? I want to get serious training as a sharpener. Where I live no one does that and the demand is high and I have an idea for a Small business. Thanks and good job!
After this I settled on going for the m2 with some more belt options
I wish the Blade Grinder attachment had a little bit more space between the top rollers, it’s pretty difficult to sharpen curved blades at a shallow angle, like putting a 15 degree on a karambit
I really feel deeply that work. Sharpe should offer a trade-in for those people who have never gotten a decent out of the work Sharpe, Ken, onion model, etc..
The sharpeners are nice but Kurt that shirt!!!😍😍😍
If anyone wants to get the ken onion edition. The blade grinder attachment is a must. I wouldn't touch the guide attachment that comes with it.
Recently I was looking for 'rust free(not rust resistance)', submersible knife for EDC. Not the scuba knife, though because they are mostly fixed blade. I wanted a mini folding knife with clip, but there is only one knife - Spyderco Salt Dragonfly. Because most folding knives comes with bronze bushing and rust resistance steel. I want to know if there is other option. And I think that would be a great episode as well.
Where can I purchase a replacement tri-brasive rod for the work sharp precision sharpener?
I have a tanto OTF. The guy that sharpened it for me rounded the tanto point a little. Is there a way to get that point more defined like factory. Will either of these do it?
be careful with those...they will turn a straight blade into a compound curve blade real quick
or turn your tanto into a recurve.
Curves on women = GOOD!
Curves on a tanto = BAD!!
Yep, gave mine away in the first month. No way I'd recommend those for anything other than kitchen knives or blades that don't matter.
Yep, a guy demoing these years back at my local gun show put a hated recurve on my Benchmade!
@@casey197930 Yep, that's what I bought mine for is to sharpen 8 steak knives. I use the KME for all others.
@@JonWilliamsJonnyKstudio yesir, works great for kitchen and cheapo blades.
I love worksharp gear. Could you guys please show a Spyderco Zoomer. Not much info out there about them.
what edition for bark river knifes and or convex grinds?
Ive never been good at sharpening knives, I process allot of my own deer. I just got one of these and sharpened every knife i could find in my house and they are shave the hair off your a** sharpe!!! I love this lil machine. Best thing i bought in ages.
Will this sharpen convex?
I was worried this might be a bit of an advert but it was really educational. Thanks guys.
Might have been educational but it was so an advert.
I found this to be completely an advert everything they say about the original can onion model is all nonsense. I never put a knife on this machine that came back with the same point it routinely changed profiles and getting a knife to cut paper took more work than just pulling out a stone and a bottle of oil and doing it myself.
What is that folder they are Sharpening on the position adjust?
Ken Onion rocks, I have a set of their kitchen knives. Birds beak paring to Santoku
What was that knife with the micarta handles that he was sharpening?
He should be wearing safety glasses too
Listening to the customers, then make it cordless lol 😆
Just bought one
The little work sharp is great for quick touch ups
Absolutely... start with 320grit and stay on that for a while then progress down with Patence. I also purchased the extra 3d printed plastics and use lapping films down to .3 microns. I get perfect mirrior finish if that's what I'm looking for.
Yes
Doesn't the belt grind a rounded edge? Does the belt sharpen as well or better than stones?
So wait does the heat the belt creates on your knife disrupt the temper on the edge? I'm watching sparks fly off so there's definitely a fair amount of heat there, right?
as long as you stick the knife in water between each pass it should be OK. thats what pros do with full size belt sanders.
Anyone had the Ken Onion and Mark 2 to compare for sharpening hunting and pocket knives?
Bro love the videos,I got to know where to get that hat you are wearing.
Worksharps precision adjust sold me on a kme. Wish they released more grits...
Ive been highly anticipating more options for the precision adjust sharpener... The engineers are going to slow for me
Am I the only one who thinks that Kurts hand grinder inpression is SPOT ON 14:00
Buy a cheap Belk grinder for kitchen knives and buy the pocket sharpener for hand weapons. The precision adjust is a fairly good machine problems with it to make you have to buy accessories such as a little stand so it doesn’t bend, but for the most part you can put a decent edge on your tool
I was thinking about going from the Precision Adjust to the Ken Onion but I might just stay with the Adjust. And if I wanted to upgrade I'll go to the MK2.
Can onion model literally ruins every point of every knife I have put through it and made my bench made into a recurve
Where is the link for the giveaway?
Is it just the insta link?
Precision isn't listed on your site?
LL Bean is in Maine. You want to see Fall Foliage you MUST go to Maine because that will blow your mind Zac. I've been to 46 of the 50 and they are all pretty.
Nothing quite like a spider paramilitary two with a round tip thank you benchmark for making my spider into a practice blade
How does the band not get cut when you drag across on the opposite side? I am puzzled by this. I am intrigued and this would make sharpening a lot quicker and easier, but just so curious.
Have a question that maybe someone can answer I have many Spyderco‘s and other stainless knives with different types of steel’s. I’ve been told do use a diamond sharpener. Is that truly necessary or what’s the deal with using a diamond sharpener versus what the work sharp offers, Because all I’m seeing is ceramic and Sandpaper belts
What degree is a scandy grind?
Not a single paper cut to test the edge? How dare you!
Because it won't cut a single sheet. Silly product for amateurs/newbies who still think a sharpening "stone" is necessary. Just get a strop and take your time. No overheating, no overzealous material removal.
@@nicks931 -- A strop is fine if all you do is cut paper but it isn't much use if you use your knives heavily and dull your edges. I tend to use waterstones with a strop to finish off, but sometimes I'll give a few passes on a fine diamond stone because I'm not spending days and days trying to get a burr with a 1000 grit waterstone.
I have the Ken onion workshop And it works perfect for me how can I adjust my speed that turned the knob I can turn the adjustment for my blade grinding from any do I need I like it a lot better then this mobile you're showing here
The Blade HQ videos aren’t the same without Ben and Zac. Even after Ben left Zac kept them pretty awesome. But I don’t get the same enjoyment out of them anymore.
Same 💔😔
David C Anderson has stolen their spot. His videos are always awesome.
Can this thing handle a Maxamet steel?
Will the precision sharpener work on 20cv
It works on any steel but tougher steels will take more time
I’d recommend the Ken Onion without the elite package. Unless you need it. It’s just a better motor. I’ve had problems with the regular Workshop set up and the motor didn’t last more than a month for me. This was a couple years ago and that’s just me but from now on a stick with Ken onion he’s a name I trust anyway
I
Cold steel black talon? Can you try it?
Please do a wicked edge review
I've managed to make my Native 5 in s35vn and G10 cut hair in half in the length with my Precision Adjust ^^.
I've gotten some like really fine abrasive films too (0.1 to 9 micron) but I don't even end up using em most of the time.
Especially due to the fact that some of my steels prefer toothy edges xD
Take care to your tips tho, even if you don't put any pressure, using diagonal long swipes (my now favorite method) can make the tribrasive "rotate" around the tip sometimes
Yes, I also request better identification of grid belts, color does not work for many of us
5:12 what kitchen knife is that?
Dónde puedo comprar las lijas en Jalisco ?
