I'm really pleased with this! It works like a charm ru-vid.comUgkxDcr-y2Pf6xdnrFHrSP7dl9kpKaCozcSQ Takes less time than my old electric sharpener because it can take more off the knife faster, and then it smooths out nicely with the finer grit polisher. I don't know how long it will last before the grit wears away, but I wouldn't mind having to replace it every once in a while.

@chrispowell3664 9 лет назад

I just bought one of these work sharp guided field sharpener based on your review. this thing is awesome. Thanks

@ElucidatorVids 10 лет назад

Thanks Chris. You have just made up my mind for me (if that even makes sense). Whenever I need a review at something I'm lookin at, I come to you. Keep up the great vids!

@Kpoull 10 лет назад

My father explained to me why a sharp knife is a safe knife. 1. A sharp knife cuts in to whatever you're working on and doesn't skip off, potentially into you. :) 2. If you know you're working with a "Scary Sharp" knife, you tend to be more careful. His father told him the same. This logic has worked for me over the years.

@vktesla 10 лет назад

lmao I hoped he was trolling us when he said that, especially in the context of an "I'm not a genius" sentence. Good video though, value your opinion.

@geek211 10 лет назад

and im sure you';; know also, a sharp knife requires less effort and is more efficient. To quote abe lincoln "if I had ten hours to chop down a tree, i would spend 9 hours sharpening my axe." :D

@Kpoull 10 лет назад

Guy Montag Yep that's also a good point. :)

@TheMireau 10 лет назад

yep, and also a dull knife will rip more instead of slicing through tendons, muscles, flesh in case you cut yourself severely so you heal faster from a cut with a sharp knife, that is also why scalpels are so damn sharp.

@TheKimjoh560 7 лет назад

Its true but I would say that by far the safest aspect of a sharp knife is that you dont have to apply force when working with it. You can mess up with a sharp knife aswelll and it does alot of damage, but it doesnt do anywhere near the same damage as a not so sharp knife with alot of stored kinetic energy behind it. A sharp knife will cut you to the bone but blunt one might take a finger off.

@47LeDoux 10 лет назад

The reason a dull knife is more dangerous is, a dull knife you have to really bear down on something to cut it and you have less control so you could accidentally cut yourself and a dull knife rips it doesn't Cut clean like a sharp knife.

@engineeredtosucceed 7 лет назад

This is one of my favorite field sharpeners. It goes everywhere I go.

@kenseijc 10 лет назад

Got one the other day, took my daily work knife to it, which was stupid dull, after about 30 minutes of working with it, it is now wickedly sharp, unbelievable THE BEST knife sharpening system I have ever used in the past 30 yrs. I will be getting a couple more and strongly recommend it to everyone.

@preparedmind101 11 лет назад

It'll be so sharp it'll scare you. All my Condors are work sharped.

@nilodrallub7812 9 лет назад

I pulled the trigger on the WorkSharp based on your Vids on the subject. GREAT SHARPENER !

@johnhertzog5824 5 лет назад

I absolutely love mine yeah it's a bit expensive but it pays for itself over and over.They totally knocked it out of the park with this.Thanks again for all you do.

@DrDennis 10 лет назад

I agree with you on this one Chris. I own it and I can sharpening all my knives and tools easily. Works on my Spyderco's as well as lawnmower blades. Great tool.

@HunterHillbilly 10 лет назад

Picked up one of these based on your review. I'm very satisfied. Helps getting used to the correct angle for sharpening. Also, the little ceramic stick is for serrated blades.

@DanielPhillips1977 8 лет назад

Have had my sharpener for few days now and absolutely love it. It's just the original one so ya I rounded some tips off and the belly of a few knives have dip in them but with practice it's by far best sharpener ever. Love your reviews it's cause of this review I bought it. Have no hair on my arm now but hey all part of it.

@darkblue12387 10 лет назад

I like your videos. They have helped me out a whole lot. It is also nice to know there are other people out there that love knives like I do.

@Ingethal 10 лет назад

Bought one and it's AWESOME! It's the best field sharpener out there! No exaggeration! Good video!

@juliusgonzo7527 10 лет назад

Just bought the smaller version based on your vid. I LOVE it. I sharpened every knife I have, and they are very sharp now, great product.

@preparedmind101 10 лет назад

There is a smaller version of the Field Sharpener?

@juliusgonzo7527 10 лет назад

Oooops, no, sorry, I was referencing your review on the larger powered version. Also, a great review, and something I plan to buy based on your recommendation.. Hey...thanks for getting back...that's very nice of you.

@preparedmind101 10 лет назад

I try. The new Google system makes it easier to miss comments than before though...

@Houstontexxxas 9 лет назад

Great video. Thank you for making this one

@raider69pmc17 10 лет назад

Just bought the Spyderco Sharpmaker and it`s the best $50 I`v spent. My knives are now stupid sharp. Super easy to use.(very small learning curve). and can be packed up and easily transported, about the same size as the Work Sharp Field Sharpener. I highly recommend it !

@themoodybobby1 11 лет назад

I have chuncked my guides and free hand with it now. It knda does it all for me whether its grinding down a spine on a mora or totally reprofiling a saber grind to a zero convex I love the work sharp another great video.

@troyhill1924 9 лет назад

Haha I love the cold Steel machete part, "viking war sword machete!" so true!

@KarlBrau 9 лет назад

I finished watch your video and bought the Work Sharp. Not from Amazon as they don´t ship it to Mexico, but from e-bay. Great review and great tip! Thanks!!!!

@tfisher808 11 лет назад

another great video, I have had my work sharp belt sander for over a year now and it works fantastic I did not know about the portable one, so now I am going to have to get one.......thanks

@MrBluesluver 8 лет назад

Chris, another nice video, btw. About why a duller knife is less safe than a sharp one has several parts in the answer. 1. like someone else pointed out, a sharp knife has less resistance to what is being cut, which gives the sharp one more control and less likely to slip. 2. from a medical perspective, if you do cut yourself, a dull knife will tear the skin & a sharp blade will give a much cleaner (although deeper) cut which will probably bleed less & will for sure close quicker (or be easier to close). From my experience, a sharp knife hurts a little less, too. That's why surgeons use razor sharp scalpels. 3. a sharp knife is just more fun and requires less work. Due to your videos, I'm saving for a Work Sharp. Thanks for the video.

@mikeatfraxa 10 лет назад

I've had one of these for a couple of years, and I love it. There are optional belts and other accessories that you can order from the company web site, and they are all worth the money. By far the best knife sharpener ever made! It can also do a nice convex edge, and it will take care of all your kitchen knives, too.

@MormonAll 9 лет назад

Thank you. I enjoyed your video. The product reviews are very helpful.

@WarGrrl3 7 лет назад

@preppermadness6224 10 лет назад

@evethecraftlady8843 8 лет назад

Maybe someone already mentioned that the small ceramic piece on the field sharpener is for serrated knives or that parts of a knife. Thankx for the great information! !! You're the best!

@tacklengrapple6891 7 лет назад

I keep one of these in my overnight/hiking bag. Pretty neat design.

@paulmorin4453 8 лет назад

hi Chris, I love your videos, keep up the great work!)

@ralphvaccaro2638 4 года назад

Thanks for the tips just picked one up ☝️👍😀

@jonenglish98 8 лет назад

Great video The dull knife is more dangerous because you have to use more pressure with a dull knife. A knife in a cut reaches maximum resistance just before it slips.When the knife slips, that is when you cut yourself. I had to get several sets of stitches before I learned this. If you have to push really hard, stop and sharpen the knife.

@wasatchdan 11 лет назад

The WS is the best money I've ever spent on a sharpening system. I can't wait to get my hands on the Ken Onion Pro model. I've had the WS field sharpener for ten months now, and it lives in my EDC backpack. Awesome sharpener. I use it at least every other day. For the most part, all I need is the ceramic stick and the strop. I never let my EDC knives get very dull. One trick I do is to apply green buffing compound to the strop. It makes the short strop work a lot better.

@preparedmind101 11 лет назад

I was wondering about strop compound. Never used it before. Pretty sure Rivers Edge carries the stuff, so I might go pick some up.

@poppopscarvinshop 8 лет назад

I Totally get your sense of humor and find you to be Very Funny! Thanks Much!

@BrewCityRider 10 лет назад

Good stuff. I going to pick up the Work Sharp field sharpener on my next Amazon order. For home sharpening I use the Razor Sharp paper wheel system mounted on a pedestal buffer. Super easy to use and great results in about a minute or less.

@pinkbrisingr78 9 лет назад

As always, keeping it real Chris. U just made me decide to purchase a WorkSharp for all my machetes & large fixed blades that I can't sharpen with the Spyderco Sharpmaker...I know this vid is over a year old, but good rrview anyway. How about that background music, LOL.

@alaskarayburn 10 лет назад

Thanks, I was just looking at those sharpeners and was glad to hear your thoughts. I wish you'd mentioned what grits those belts were though. I definitely like both those sharpeners, but I'm using an ax, hatchet and splitting maul a lot this winter and want something I can sharpen those with. I'll keep looking.

@preparedmind101 10 лет назад

You'd use the green belt. Then you take the guides off and rotate the belt assembly forward three clicks and hold the Worksharp in your hand and move it on the axe. At least, that's how I do it. If you want a 25 degree angle you can use the guide. I sharpen my tomahawks with the worksharp using the guide. The Frontier Hawk is literally razor sharp. The Pipe Hawk has a more sensible utility edge.

@genesisj2918 10 лет назад

Hey Chris. I really like your video. The saying "a sharp knife is a safe knife" refers to needing less pressure when cutting with a sharp knife, making it safer. Less chance of slipping while cutting.

@franknz1797 7 лет назад

Great thanks Chris

@mtstream55n 6 лет назад

hey just checking out your older videos on work sharp. I just bought the field sharpener and followed up with the ken onion. I haven't tried it yet as I have been working long hours. Harvest is over and now I have some time. Maybe you could do a beginners video sharpening with both sharpeners!! If not, then maybe a few tips here. Thanks.

@scrider8464 9 лет назад

Thanks. On handheld, is 20 degrees what you want to see on folders and sheath knives? Correct me if I need it, but I am guess the angle of sharping is important as is consistency throughout the move?

@gqixkaes 10 лет назад

I really like your channel you have great content!

@TylerLL2112 6 лет назад

There is something about these videos...I always dislike looking at you but at the same time I like hearing your opinion with a touch of humor. I thought I was already subbed but when you mentioned subscribing I double checked and found I wasn't. I went ahead and subscribed. I've been watching your videos for a few years now and I'm positive I was subscribed but, anyhow..take care Chris thanks for making these videos.

@bigfootbushcraft7063 9 лет назад

I love my work sharp!!! I dnt have the field one yet I have all the stuff thats on it but not all in 1 like that. So thanks for the vid bro.

@Rogerquin 10 лет назад

@yazming1720 2 года назад

First time viewer...Dude your sarcasm is BRILLIANT. I find it hilarious 🤣...I've subscribed & 👍👍👍💯💯💯. I've just bought the WORKSHOP field sharpener just cause it looks kewl till I went to pay for it over all I thought it was worth the try. How about a live demo using it. Keep up the Great Work 💪.

@markwojcinski2487 9 лет назад

The Ken Onion edition has adjustable guides that go from 15 degrees to 30 degrees. It's the version I got- just started using it, so far so good.

@kamilzarzycki3866 8 лет назад

loving the video and am now a new subscriber. I don't know much about the different types of knives so I think it be beneficial if you could like edit a pic into the corner or something along the lines that, maybe a thumbnail? looking forward to your new videos!

@IvarsDayLab 10 лет назад

That field sharpener is great thing to have! That small ceramic rod is good for serrations.

@user-px6qp4rm1x 8 лет назад

I do like the built-in leather for strop purpose. Are you able to replace the ceramic rods as well?

@malvinacarabas5768 7 лет назад

@caseyglisson165 11 лет назад

@TheMobster450 10 лет назад

Do you think you could do a vid on how you use the work sharp , I just purchased the ken onion edition and I would like to see how you use it to learn , thanx

@HARDYSFISHINGADVENTURES 8 лет назад

@rmauersr 6 лет назад

Do you have an opinion about the Sharpensbest knife sharpeners? Matching the angle may be challenging.

@beelzebub6802 10 лет назад

Hey cool vid. With the field sharpener, do you can also sharp a moraknife?

@alexoneal1029 9 лет назад

Hey Chris...think the belt style Work sharp would be safe to use long term on my Spyderco Paramilitary 2 and Benchmade Griptilian knives (S30V and 154CM steels respectively) --

@jamiecox5430 5 лет назад

I love this sharpener. It’s easy to and to carry due to its size!

@behemothsuperknife 9 лет назад

I have a Ken Onion edition work sharp. Every knife I ship. Has a polished edge from this sharpener. The edge lasts longer than any other edge I've had on a knife. Also my video has a high am!out of dislikes to likes lol. Haters gonna hate. Keep on it brother.

@tikkidaddy 7 лет назад

I spent 35 years hand sharpening and honing knives as taught by my grandfather with stones, ceramics and diamonds before I ever bought anything power operated. The problem is the owner of the knife when it comes to a WSKTS OR KOE 99% of the time. Worksharp flat states that you should practice with the tool before using it on a knife of value to you, be it a $60 knife or $600. Read instructions, manuals. Watch YT...invest time. Currently I use the WSKTS KOE on knives other people ask me to do tip repair and hog work on. Then I go back and hone with ceramics and strop. I can get those fancy mirror polish Samauri blinding bevels that are so popular now..??? Why??? IDK, you're gonna scratch it when you use it anyway.! Never any sparks. Blade never gets warm, let alone hot. Never ruined a knife. I could do the same with a belt sander. This is more convenient. All people care about is looks. Not performance. If you polish an edge bevel by hand with sandpaper and diamond films to even out a bevel and make everything consitant, and the edge stays maintained and stropped regularly, there is no difference I can tell between that and a WSKTS system.

@stevereigert4834 8 лет назад

im sure som1 has posted by now. but just in case, the little ceramic pc. on top is for serrated knives. thx for the vid. im ordering mine today.

@DanielPhillips1977 8 лет назад

Got a question I use the work sharp like crazy and I just sharpened my bushcraft black and my companion what I'm wondering is I know it don't change the grind but what exactly does it do to the scandi grind cause now it looks different a little bit.

@bazzarr 8 лет назад

I have tried every knife sharpener ever made and the final conclusion is that I SUCK. I mean, I couldn't't sharpen a knife that was already sharp :)

@zaks3911 6 лет назад

Bro I bought a knife an it was sharp asf but I tried to make it sharper now it's so dull I can't use it

@peter-radiantpipes2800 5 лет назад

Go and buy a few $1-2 knives at dollar stores and go to town practicing. No big worry about wrecking a blade and you come across some gems sometimes. I found a $130 Wusthof in a bin and fixed a small tip break in 10 minutes. Found it on first time checking the dollar store.

@powerlinegf 10 лет назад

I have a Work Sharp. I like it for kitchen knives, fillet knives and machetes. I wouldn't use it for any of my good knives. But, I do find hand honing enjoyable. Have you ever tried the Shapton Glass Stones?

@atlanticwoodsman8347 9 лет назад

@bushfriend2718 8 лет назад

I just boughr my Worksharp today i Love it.

@liamireland7381 8 лет назад

Hello kind sir, are you still happy with your purchase? I am fairly decent with a stone. Is this fairly fool proof? please forgive me for asking. I had to ask a random guy and I chose you.

@bushfriend2718 8 лет назад

@gunnerkelley8641 10 лет назад

What would you use to sharpen a convex edge in the field?

@maximpodkolzin865 8 лет назад

Hi Chris, have you tried Work Sharp (electrical) on Scandi grinds?

@Trevlee74 10 лет назад

Dull blade = more force applied and greater chance of slippage. The sharper a tool is, the safer it is. Because, less effort is used, and you get more control.

@ScottsUtubeWorld 10 лет назад

exactly!

@bigmom1201 10 лет назад

and to add, a dull knife tears (if you so get into an accident) so the cut/injury is worse then with a sharp knife, where it will heal easier

@usoppbarbosa981 10 лет назад

Agrees! besides, if you use your knife properly, no part of your body should be in the path of the blade if ever a slippage happens. 1 : learn knife safety 2: get your knife stupid sharp 3: enjoy!

@sarahancock3081 8 лет назад

Chris what would you side for the schf51 I got mine and it wasnt razor sharp???

@krisyoung447 10 лет назад

You might want to mention that the belt sander will only give you a convex edge. The manual one will work with v-grinds. I was thinking of getting the Ken Onion edition of the Work Sharp but I only have a couple of convex blades and have no intention of re-profiling all my v-grinds. I'll stick with sandpaper and mouse pad for convex and the Spyderco Sharpmaker for v-grinds. FYI, the Ken Onion model of the Work Sharp has wider belts and a better angle adjuster among other things.

@vteasy 10 лет назад

How does the $30 one do with pits on pocket knives I have a spiderco cpm3v tuff that already has a pit on the blade

@fredriklovgren 10 лет назад

Great vid :) just wondering if you know how it´s works on really recurved blades like a ZT 301 or a Cold steel rajah 3. I´m a newbie to sharpen knives and doesn´t dare using them because I can´t resharpen them :(

@HeyLookItsAAnt 10 лет назад

pretty sure you use the ceramic rods.

@mr4thquarter777 10 лет назад

Like this sharpener but 20° is a little too steep for me if they sell this with a 25° I'd buy it.i have a Bk-10 have you tried it on that?

a dull knife is dangerous because more effort to cut and you could lose control and injure yourself

@splendidfate2000 8 лет назад

I saw the field guide sharpener at Dicks the other day. I almost went ahead and bought it, but I was kind of turned off that it only has a 20deg guide. My Tops BOB is supposed to be sharpened to 25deg according to the maintenance instructions - in fact, aren't most outdoor or thicker blades supposed to be sharpened to 25deg? So how well does it work for those types of blades?

@norcalcoastanglerfishing9661 8 лет назад

+splendidfate2000 raise the back of the blade roughly 5 degrees. boom.

@treyolson8931 9 лет назад

Will the reguler version of this OR the ken onion version sharpen knives with a quarter inch thick spine such as the tops anaconda, also will it sharpen tanto knives, something like the SOG kiku folder pls respond someone lol

@bondjam3sbond176 8 лет назад

@edcgearpocketknife 6 лет назад

I have that one it is my favorite way to sharpen it's awsome for the price

@shehansurvival4971 8 лет назад

a dull blade is more dangerous because you have to put more force behind them to make them cut and that means you normally have less control over it (like if it slips you've got alot of force behind it and can really hurt yourself) as compared to a sharp knife that just cuts with little force you can control it better

@preppermadness6224 10 лет назад

That shorter ceramic rod is for arrow heads. Bit of practice and it works alright.

@13inchpenis69 9 лет назад

@cam00133 10 лет назад

The Ken Onion one has wider belts, 5 grit types instead of 3, variable speed so your not over heating the steal (if you don't know what your doing). Is the KO version worth it? It depends on what you're gonna be using if for. (Personally I think it is)
