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

Best sharpening system I've found for my use!

What a great product. Designed in Oregon where I'm living, this has exceeded expectations. If you're like me sometimes life gets ahead of you and you don't end up maintaining your kitchen knives, pocket knives and other things with the sharp edges that you should. I have one of those pull through a slot type sharpeners that can give it very quick but not so great edge however when I saw this product I jumped on it. Where do I start? Well first of all soon as you get it and pull it out of the box...

Easy Sharpener for a Novice

As a craftsman I use knives a lot, but I’ve never been good at sharpening them. This device takes out most of the guesswork! I watched the 9 minute company video (see front of box), which made the process with this sharpener look easy. And it was! I gathered up all my knives and had new edges on them in no time. It’s small but stable on the work surface. There are two grits and a ceramic side, plus you can buy other grits to interchange. I reboxed it and hung it on our workshop wall. I w...

Wonderful Sharpener

This is an excellent knife or tool sharpener; the fact that it can sit on a flat surface offers great safety and freedom from holding it in your hands. The sharpener sharpens quickly and easily.

Well designed product

The sharpener is well designed and sized. The three optional surfaces provide adequate range of filing options for all the tools in the toolbox. This is a great product that is vey useful.

Handy tool with large sharpeners

So far, so good with this sharpener. Admittedly, I would like to have more time with to conduct a more thorough assessment, but at this point I can say the tool seems to be high quality for the most part. The sharpening surfaces are large enough to easily handle large steak knives and I appreciate the angle guides at either end of the sharpener. It is very convenient to have the three coarseness grades on the same tool. Removing the sharpener from its base is trivial and thus makes it easy to tr...

One of the best knife sharpeners I have used

This is probably one of the best knife sharpeners I have gotten yet. The ease of use and how well the sanding planes operate are a huge success to making sure the knife stays on edge and keeps sharp. Huge success

Work Sharp - Benchstone Knife Sharpener WSBCHBSS

I selected this product for review because not only were my everyday utility knives extremely dull but my expensive Wusthof kitchen knives were also suffering. This product appeared to meet my immediate needs due to its "Tri-brasive" sharpening/honing system so I decided to give it a try. It has 3 abrasive surfaces that measure 1 1/4" wide and 5 3/4" long: 1) a coarse 320 grit diamond surface for the initial blade prep. 2) a fine 600 grit diamond surface for refining the blade. 3) a ceram...

Great Sharpener for Beginners and Experts!

I was a bit intimidated as a first time knife sharpener, but with a little practice, I was sharpening knives like a pro. The how-to videos were most helpful with tips like using both hands to maintain the angle set by the guides and cleaning the unit with a dry brush after use. The instructions included with the knife sharpener are clear and easy to follow. This is a great sharpener for beginners as well as experts!

Great tool with honing surface for perfect blade

The WorkSharp Knife Sharpener is some nifty gadget to have at home. The unit has surfaces – 320, 600, honing – for creating a better edge. On both sides of the unit there are magnet attached angle guides, which help you adjust to 20 or 25 degree, be that kitchen or outdoor knife you will be working on. The unit has a sturdy base with rubber legs which are holding it pretty steady in place when you are working on your blade. In the middle of the base there is a slider that can lock the sharpenin...

Nice sharpener!

This is a pretty nice knife sharpener. Obviously this is used for straight edge knives only, it can not be used with serrated edge knives. It sits nice and flat when you use it. There are 4 feet with rubber bottoms to keep it from slipping around during use. The bar that you use to sharpen knives has 3 different sides. One side is for getting out gouge marks, it is a tougher side like a large file. The other side is like a fine file, that side is use for sharpening. The last side is smoot...

Great sharpening tool - Ingenious design

Work Sharp is a great tool that makes maintaining home & garden blades sharp with the convenience of 3 grits that are easy to access with a rotating selector. The 20 degree and 25 degree sharpening guides help with accuracy of the honed edge. For longer blades I'd like to see a longer surface and to bench mount it. Overall easy to use and produced great results. Much safer than hand-held stones.

This a Great Sharpner

This sharpner is a jewel to have, I have used it to sharpner my knives and scissors. It doesn't take long at all to get them razor sharp. I would recommend this to anyone looking to keep their knives as sharp as they were new. Get it now.

Perfect knife sharpener

Great knife sharpener, the size is perfect for my workbench but not too big it gets in the way. Sharpens within minutes and all my knives have great edges now.

Does the job!

I have several work sharp tools now and I’ve been impressed with all of them so far. As a knife junkie and woodworker I’ve used a ton of sharpening devices. This sharpener is no different. It’s plastic but well built and plenty sturdy. There are so many sharpening systems out there now and this is a great one that fits in a niche group. For me I use it for kitchen knives. I don’t like the pull through electric sharpeners and don’t feel the kitchen knives need the full treatment I do for my p...

Works to get a nice edge.

Definitely works after some practice, has a bit of a learning curve to it. Sharpened up all my kitchen knives after getting the hang of it. Nice unit to have handy to freshen up those dull blades a couple times a year.

Awesome Sharpener

Great sharpener with 3 different surfaces to use. Sharpener is nice and sturdy but also easy to tuck away in a drawer until needed. Great for all types of knives

Keeping me sharp

I camp and vacation alot with the kids. Fires, fishing and normal yearly use can take that edge off. This has 3 sides for how much sharpening you need. Usually with a knife a few passes and your back in business but i had a axe that had some edge damage. It has rubber ends that can come off and and show you the angle you are needing. It locks right into the base for stability and roatates without having to unlock it out of the base. I gave the axe a few minutes on the rougher side and it w...

Easy to use device

Knife sharpening has always been a very confusing thing for me. What do you use? Where do you start? How often do you sharpen? This device takes most of the guesswork out of sharpening. It has 3 different grits on a rotating platform. Also the correct angle is always achievable with the angle blocks to guide you. The base is a little rickety but if you secure it to you table in some way that’s not an issue.

Excellent knife sharpener

Very nice sharpener. Works very well. They gave my knife for razors edge the first time I tried it. Very easy to use and built very well. This is the first time I’ve ever use this type of sharpener, and I am very pleased.
