I have used stones and diamond pull through sharpeners in the past but I have never been able to sharpen a blade like this thing. I have had it for a week now and every time I sharpen a knife, it is tested by shaving some hair on my arm. Not joking.I have no hair on my arms any more. This 40 year old Canadian has arms that look like a 12 year old. This is simple to use, and with the more aggressive grits(220) I was able to quickly fix the damage I did to my old pocket knife ( tried to sharpen it on a bench grinder), reset the angle, and worked through the stones until it was shaving hair like my Gillette Mach 3 turbo. Highly recommend!!!

I received this sharpener for a fathers day gift to help grow my personal knife sharpening business. it has been one of the best gifts I could have received no doubt. once you get the hang of how far out you can take each stone and you take your time and it puts an extremely sharp edge on your knife as well as a very even sharpened edge on both sides. this sharpener has absolutely made my life easer when it comes to sharpening knives for customers as well as friends and family. Very highly recommended sharpener. The only thing I would add would be I wish it came or had available to purchase a few more high grit Dimond stones for a finishing polish before the stropping pad. definitely not a knock on the product though.

I feel like you guys owe me a $10 voucher for all the paper I've gone through after sharpening my knives. Paper cut test after paper cut test - I've probably gone through a ream just showing off. This sharpening system is amazing. I used to think my knives were sharp, and I was pretty good about keeping an edge on them with a stone and a strop, but this system blows the doors off anything I've tried in the past. I have a Spyderco Endura with the ZDP-189 steel. I have always struggled with that particular knife for some reason. There was a tiny chip near the tip that no matter what I tried, I couldn't reprofile it. It was no match for the Work Sharp Elite. I spent 20 minutes with the 220 and 320 grits, and then the rest of the abrasives were a cake walk. The blade - and more importantly - that chip were no match for your Tri-Brasive stones. The most satisfying part is finally progressing to the ceramic plate and seeing that mirror edge appear as if it's magic. I've brought kitchen knives back from the dead and can slice through the softest tomato with ease. Sharpening knives used to be a little bit of a chore, but now I look forward to it.I'll keep an eye out for a coupon to Staples in the mail. In the meantime, you'll find me hunched over my Precision Adjust Elite.

Absolutely the best sharpening system out there , quick and easy with razor sharp results !

WORK SHARP,,,, Thank you Thank you Thank you <3. its wonderful product i wasnt imagine its like this its really really amazing from my heart <3. Mohamed from KSA.

I dont write many reviews, but I had to comment on this purchase. It works! I have had no success hand sharpening knives till now, often making them worse after I have tried. This thing works well. After reading the directions and watching the video, I took an old kitchen knife that I was going to throw away anyway. My first try with the Work Sharp setup was a great success. The knife couldnt cut celery before. Now it slices through paper with ease. No buyers remorse here.So far I have had no issues like the ones I have read in other reviews. The base is lighter than what I expected, but this thing is so easy to use that I simply steady the base with my free hand (which also keeps it free from any accidents!). The clamp holds the knife very steady, making it simple to use the free hand to move the sharpening rod.My hope is that Work Sharp continues to add to this system to sharpen carving knives, as I do attempt woodcarving and could use the help with my smaller knives.

Back in the day I could free hand sharpening a knife but as I have gotten older I just can't hold the angle the way I use to. I have had a couple of competitors guided sharpeners and just didn't care for them. Enter Presision Adjust Elite, now all my kitchen knives are razor sharp to the point my girlfriend was afraid of them. She has now got use to them and has figured out that sharp knives work a lot easier. This product is a solid 9 out of 10 in my book. Thank you Work Sharp. Jeff W. Clinton, Tennessee

Love this system. I have probably sharpened well over 80 knives sim purchased in December. Gave it 4 stars due to the marked gauge being off 1.5 after checking with a Johny magnetic digital angle finder. As with any product some things can be a little off. Just ordered the guided sharpening system for myself for larger blades and t Me Onion Angle Set Knife Sharpener for a friend. Great products.

Excellent sharpening system! But the blade clamp needs to be bigger to take a larger blade, Like the ESSE knives, RTAK, and cold steel knives.

Sharpening with this tool is a lot of manual effort, but the results are consistent and fantastic. I'm only dinging it 1 star for two things: First, the design of the clamp is such that it can't really be used with very small blades, like Victorinox SD or the blade on my Gerber Dime. I feel like the clamp should be flatter so that it doesn't interfere with the sharpeners on small blades. Second, the "stops" on the sharpener arm are just plastic rings, relying only on friction. Would be nice to have proper stops that can be locked in place. But, the meat of it is: this tool gets mid-to-large sized blades to a high level of sharpness the first time and every time.

The unit works really well. Watching the how-to videos is a must. Still getting my process refined. Work Sharp should offer the knife support . That would be my only suggestion. Nice setup!!

Love this thing! Had to find my system. I also purchased a little plastic support the keeps the blade alot more stable. I have made some sharp stuff!!

The Worksharp is really awesome. I get my blades extremely sharp. It is the best product I have purchased in a long time.

This is a great system. Gave my lansky system away.

Best easiest sharpener i ever used..had to buy 2And have 6 inch stone holder from grit automatic and use the 6 inch diamonds from the bench sharpener

Received mine yesterday, stoked on how well this worked. Ive never sharpened my knives personally and managed to get a razor sharp edge my first try on one of my cheap knives. Going to practice a bit more before I move on to my good knives.

It's sharpens my knives dangerously Sharp! I am really impressed! I can fillet my meat and fish better than ever.great sharpener!

Best sharpener Ive ever used. What better knife to use it on then the bench made edc griptilian

I thought I couldn't sharpen a knife. This made my knife sharpening skills almost perfect! I mean I was able to get a bur before but now not only do I get a bur, I get a polished, hair shaving, finger sliced, razor sharp edge! I mean I just start at the highest grit and just move down one step at a time and man I am wicked happy! I have blades that came in dull from the factory, with cpm20cv steel, and now it's razor sharp its at a scary point. I actually enjoyed sharpening so much I'm trying to find every knife I can to sharpen it up. The only suggestion I could make is maybe include a little extra compound for the leather strap. I got so use to going against the grain when I put the leather on I went the wrong way lol. The strap held up fine but I fine I need just to add a bit more compound. But that's in no way a negative. If you struggle with sharpening like I did, this works. I mean it really works! Best system for the money!

Perfect tool. Now my knives are really sharp
