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

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.

Nice and sharp

This product works great. It takes a little bit of use to get the proper motion down, but once you do you are good to go. There are instructions in the box and also a QR code to their product page where there is a nice video demonstration how to use it. I took one of my cheapest knifes and made it cut great. I did a classic paper test. As you can see in the first photo the knife was very dull and did a terrible job cutting the paper. The third photo shows the same test after sharpening. With onl...

Best sharpener I’ve owned

What a great product! Very easy to use! The anglers guides make this item so quick and simple to use! I ended up sharpening all my knives. I have high quality knives and some cheaper ones, and it would great for both!

Sharpens big or small

I like hiw you have plenty of room to sharing bigger blades. It sharpened all my tools with eaze. This should last a long time with care. I would definitely recommend.

Modern day sharpener

The Benchstone sharpener provides a modern day solution to a age old problem of properly and effectively sharpening pocket knives. The sharpener has three selectable, sharpening grits, one being a course, diamond grit, a five and a fine, ceramic grid. Did find diamond grits advertises a 600 grit abrasive Then Tony down to a course diamond and then a fine ceramic. The stand is very easy to use and spins to allow you to use the selected a brace. If you need at the time it does have an anti-skid b...

Great benchtop sharpener!

Used this to sharpen scissors and it works great! I got a few kitchen knives and an axe to sharoen next:) I saw a video this will sharpen anything, even axes

Works very well!

I like the design and ability to quickly sharpen knives,  scissors and tools with a different sharpening angle. The sharpener is compact and its base is very sturdy. This Diamond sharpener sharpens faster and requires no soaking and flattening like my water stone. It creates a very sharp edge quickly on the 600 grit diamond stone, and a few strokes on the ceramic stone for my kitchen Heckles knives. Triangle shape allows sharpening scissors very easily. I am using the 320 grit diamond stone for ...

Great multi use sharpener

We really like this sharpener and have used it for multiple tools, including butcher knives, hedge clippers, mower blades, and scissors. There are different sharpeners on each side of the device with a different grit strengths which are marked on each side.

Good, versatile sharpener!

I am rather pleased with this sharpener! It has 3 great surfaces and can be fixed or left to float which allows for some good flexibility in technique

Excellent Knife Sharpener

This is one of the best manual knife sharpeners I have seen. It has 320 grit, 600 grit, and fine ceramic surfaces. It has 20 and 25 degree guides. I like the pivot response lock/unlock options. You can unlock it to allow the surface to rock and follow the curve of the blade. Work Sharp has instructional videos which helped me to learn how to use the sharpener. It is going to take some practice, but I believe this will produce sharper knives than the pull-through type sharpeners.

High quality and durable knife sharpening system

This is very high quality with lots of great features. One of the first things you will notice is the angle guides. This will really help beginning sharpeners to get a feel for the correct angle when sharpening knives. It also gives you an option for a pivot system which helps to get the tips of knives, especially those with bigger curves/bellies. This system offers you three easy to rotate abrasive sides. The first is coarse, then refining, followed by a ceramic honing side that cleans things u...

Workshop Benchstone Knife Sharpener

This benchstone knife sharpener is fantastic. It has a non slip base so that it stays put while using. It is "Tri-Brasive" with 3 sides to sharpen pocket knives, kitchen knives, filet knives, scissors and much more. There is coarse diamond, fine diamond and fine ceramic abrasive sides with guides to follow the curve of the blades for a precise sharpening. It can also be removed from the base to hand sharpen as well. I used it to sharpen an old set of hedge clippers that had not been used i...

Great, durable knife sharpener

Great knife sharpener with long sharpening stones. I really like how it has coarse, fine and super fine grit stones on the same block and all you have to do is rotate them to use each. Sharpened a few blades we have so far and each one has come out perfect. Easy to use sitting on my workbench. It lets you unlock the base so the knife sharpener can follow the curve of the knife while sharpening as well.

Great tool for all your sharpening needs!

We've purchased knife block sets with the round sharpener included and they work, but I was looking for something that could also sharpen scissors, hunting knives & sheet metal shears. This product certainly addresses all my sharpening needs, plus it's much easier to sharpen our steak knives too!

Very nice addition to my bench

Got this sharpener with a couple of specific knives in mind that were in desperate need of a complete resharpening/honing. Expected a basic three-sided whetstone, but I got much more. This Work Sharp is super heavy duty, and is anything but basic. Assembly is a snap (literally), just set the stone surface into the base & "snap" the lock switch to secure it, or leave it unlocked to utilize the "pivot" function for curved blades. It does come with two angle guides, a 20° and a 25°, both of which m...
