Ratings & Reviews for Work Sharp Benchtop Knife Sharpener- Tri-brasive Stone- Diamond/plastic- 20 and 25 Sharpening Guides

Very nice sharpening system. Surprisingly capable!

I really like this sharpening system. Having three sharpening stones on one sharpening system is so convenient. I can quickly switch between the three different grades of stones (320, 600 and Fine Ceramic). The entire unit stays still with its rubber feet very well. I can honestly say this is probably one of the most quality sharpening stones I have owned in a long time. Has a positive locking mechanism to keep the chosen abrasive locked in position while sharpening the blade. Also comes with t...

Hair popping sharp

This is absolutely a fantastic knife sharpener. Let’s start with the fact that I have never been able to freehand on a sharpening stone. I have tried many times and I could never get a good consistent angle. We’ll work sharp fixed that with a magnetic angle starting guide on both ends that can be either a 20 or 25 degree angle. Now the most ingenious part of this is the pivot response that lets the stone tilt for curved blades. I have used this on 4 different knives of various metals in my house...

Benchstone Knife Sharpener, Very Handy

I received this Benchstone Knife Sharpener, and so far I have found it easy to use, and sharpens a wide variety of knives, small hand shears/snips, and still trying other items with a blade to sharpen. There are 3 different abrasive surfaces that spin and lock into place. There is a coarse diamond 320 grit, a fine diamond 600 grit, and a fine ceramic surface. Going to try more as time goes on.

"Sharp" little tool

This little knife sharpener really does a good job for someone who's not as good at sharpening blades and knives as you're normal professional. The guides on the side help set up the right angle for the cutting edge. I liked the variety of the three grits so that I can fix some of my older blades as well as freshen up some of my newer ones. I use this on kitchen knives and on a pair of kitchen shears. The shears I was getting ready to throw away until I tried it on this tool and now, they work g...

Great compact sharpening system

I really liked this sharpening set. It's low profile and multi-system design reduces storage space of every stone into one piece. It's guides are useful and it does take some practice to get good at it. I've sharpened kitchen knives and a chisel using this system and I'm happy with the results. I used a little spray bottle of soapy water to help lubricate the stones and push debris away. I found this particularly useful with the highest grit stone as the fine debris built up after a while. It ta...

Solid basic sharpening product

This is a good basic sharpening product that covers the essential elements: coarse hone, medium hone, and polish. Anyone looking for a good foundation for keeping their tools sharp can reach for this one and know they've got a solid basis. I used this on several knives and found it will quickly put a sound edge on without a lot of effort (purists may want to strop the edge after the porcelain polish, but that's not necessary.) The only drawback I found was that the length of the product made it...

Excellent sharpener

This blade sharpener is great. Three different grains to get everything real sharp. It was easy to put together. It has two “settings” which it really just effects how much pitch it will give. It comes with great instructions. I’m impressed.

Very nice knife sharpening tool

The Work Sharp sharpener for knives is really a unique system. It comes with a 25° angle on a 20 degree angle for outdoor knives and kitchen knife use. It has three different sides with grits ranging from 600, 320, fine ceramic. You don't use oil on it and you clean it with a dry brush. The base that it sits in is plastic but it's pretty nice and has rubber feet so it doesn't move around on your surface. You can also remove the 25 and 20° blade guides if you need to they are held by magnets and ...

Looks like a good sharpener

This looks like a good product. I personally have a hard time maintaining a perfect angle on this type of sharpener. I use a different style sharpener on my knives, it maintains a more consistent angle. That said, the Worksharp sharpener is very stable, the 2 abrasive surfaces remove material fast, and the ceramic hone finishes the edge. I would recommend to a friend.

Another good product from Work Sharp

I have several Work Sharp sharpening products and this one is easy but not my favorite. It sharpens your knives great! My complaint is the removable base. Why is it removable? Maybe to bring it to a larger blade? It's just clunky when rotating between stones. I would like a more solid base. The angle guides are great and it grips a smooth table really well with it's rubber feet. Overall I'm happy with it.

Knife Sharpener

Out of the box, I sharpened three of our kitchen knives and in a couple of swipes both directions, they were sharp. I am well pleased with this product.

Nifty little...

...blade sharpener. This is a sturdy, well made, and practical small blade sharpener. The appliance can either hold the sharpening stones in a solid fix position or it can pivot. There are 3 sharpening surfaces, 320 grit, 600 grit, and a ceramic surface. Sharpening oil is not required. Just use the stone dry and clean it off with a brush when finished. I particularly like the yellow blade sharpening angle guides. With a little practice this is an easy to use effective tool. Very nice.

Versatile

The Work Sharp Benchstone Sharpener is a game changer! Perfect size to keep in the house for kitchen knives and scissors yet versatile enough for hubby to sharpen his pocketknives and axe heads. Three sides to choose from- coarse, fine and ceramic. Pretty much covers just about everything we own with a blade! Very easy to turn to select the side needed and then sharpen away. Has a pivot response system to help with the curve of a blade or can lock to keep it in place. Very impressed with how eas...

Great on the go knife sharpener

I have the Ken Onion electric sharpener but needed a smaller version that I could throw in my backpack for hunting trips. This fills that need and sharpens very quick compared to other portable sharpeners that I've had in the past. I like that you can quickly rotate the sharpening surface to different grits (320 grit - 600 grit) and finish on the ceramic side for an edge that will actually hold.

This is the knife sharpener you want!

The sharpener is not overly large (8 1/2" x 2 1/2" footprint x 2 1/2" high) to keep in a kitchen drawer. It comes with three stones, each 5 7/8" x 1 3/16". 320 grit, 600 grit, and ceramic. Changing which stone is up simply involves rotating the triangle. Very strong magnets keep the triangle from moving. At the ends of the stones are two reversible 20 degree/25 degree guides to give you a good start on sharpening. Assembled unit weighs 14.4 oz. I wanted to test this unit because I am absolute...

Adequate Manual Knife Sharpener

This three stone set manual knife sharpener is adequate for knife sharpening but not exceptional in any way. The three grits, 320 & 600 diamond and ceramic finishing stone are appropriate for most knife sharpening needs. The rotating mount is needlessly complicated with a locking mechanism which supposedly allows the stone to tip when unlocked. I found that the spring indent holding the stone in one of the three positions was stronger than the lock and support base. This means the locking featur...

Handy sharpener!

This is a neat sharpener. My husband had only used it a few times so far, but he's very pleased with it. He said it takes some time for adjustment but should be no problem. He sharpened a few of my kitchen knives with great results!

Work Sharp Sharpener

The three stone sharpener is easy to set up and use. Has coarse diamond, fine diamond, and fine ceramic stones. 20 and 25 degrees guides. Does a great job on my hunting and carry knives. Knives seem to hold a good edge after sharpening.

Everyday Sharpener

I own several different sharpening products, both powered and manual. But this Benchstone unit is the one I keep out next to my carving bench for regular use. The different grits are just a twist away. So if I need to do edge repair (‘cause I dropped it) or just a touch-up, the grits are right there with no mess, dry sharpening. I’m back working in short order. The unit is well built and well thought out. The pivoting stone system improves my control of curved tools right down to the tip of ...

Great sharpener

Great knife sharpener with three different options. Nice base it locks and also has a rocking motion that helps with angles. I would definitely recommend this for a knife enthusiast.
