Worksharp
 
Just got my worksharp knife sharpener yesterday. Took me a while to make up my mind to buy one but so glad I did. I don't have a dull knife in the house anymore!

You wanna sharpen some more? Lol

Best sharpener around

Andy C 01-04-2013 09:15 PM

Ordered one today. Cant wait to get it.

sniper3726 01-04-2013 10:03 PM

Got me one after seeing all the good stuff I seen on here 4 or 5 months ago.
It is as good as y'all said . Well worth it . Makes everything else obsolete if you ask me. I can sharpen every knife I own in less than 15 mins. With stones or lansky it would take hours

Yea the worksharp is very exciting to have at first. Then it gets you upset more and more. Upset because you don't have anything else to use it on. :)

marshrunner757 01-05-2013 02:23 PM

I know. Bored with mine already. Think I might go cut some bricks so I can sharpen my knife:D

It'll be well worth it.

Take of your lawnmower blade and sharpen it

Goooh 01-08-2013 04:35 PM

Y'all got the sportsman?

speck-chaser 01-08-2013 04:36 PM

does it sharpen ceramic blades too?

marshrunner757 01-08-2013 04:42 PM

From the reading I've done it does sharpen ceramic with a different belt.

CHEAPEST PLACE TO GET IT.... http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200431964_200431964

Its not the sportsmans but why the color of your knife sharpener matters I don't know. I think the only difference is it's green. My Secret Santa got me the Sportsman model, I would have been happy with the regular one.

How much life can I expect to get out of the belts? Just wondering how many I need to order when I order my sharpener.

Have not used mine enough to say 100 percent but I sharpened about 20 different knives and a friend borrowed it and did at least 10. I do not see any noticable wear in belts.. I think i got like 2 or 3 extra belts of each. They cheap, and easier to order them now when you place the order than come back later

flounder_smacker 01-08-2013 07:29 PM

I have sharpened around 40 knives. I wore out the fine purple belt on prob number 35. The other orange belt still looks new. My kit came with a belt cleaning block and if you clean after each knife the belts last longer.

speck-chaser 01-08-2013 07:56 PM

just read some of the questions on the above site. Said it wont sharpen ceramic:(

Said the ceramic is much harder than the belt. I only have one boker knife that has a ceramic blade. Gets to be a pain to ship it off every time to have it sharpened.

Which kit did you order. I haven't seen one with a belt cleaning block. Also did not see as an accessory.

Look on worksharp website. They sale a diamond belt said to be for ceramic.

I know this is a very old thread but have any of y'all tried the 6000 grit silicon carbide abrasive belts versus the regular 6000 grit purple ones that it comes with? They cost a good bit more but if they work better and last longer I don't mind the extra cost.

Bluechip 09-02-2017 05:08 PM

I almost bought one of these sharpeners the other day. Had it in my hand but put it back on the shelf.

Are y'all still happy with this sharpener ?

marshrunner757 09-02-2017 10:02 PM

X 10... Haven't tried the new belt but thinking about getting one to try.

bjhooper82 09-03-2017 12:26 AM

I love mine also but seems like the 6000 grit belts that came with it wear out in 1 or two knives tops. That's why I was asking if anybody has tried the silicon carbide abrasive ones.

I still use the regular belts. The 6000 does appear to wear quick but I use them for a while. Just takes a few extra passes.

Thanks for the replies. I'm going to try one.

duckman1911 09-03-2017 11:12 PM

I love it. Heven't got into the high grit belts though. I like to hand sharpen but after a while you loose that precise angle. I use the worksharp to get it back. It worth the money I promise.

Jasonf 09-07-2017 05:47 PM

Worksharp
 
If you haven't already bought one, amazon has the worksharp ken onion edition for $39.99 with free shipping, but it may be a typo.

That's a sweet deal! I'm tempted to order one just for a spare

I found the belt replacement packs at Field and Stream here in Lafayette yesterday. Picked up two boxes of the 6000 grit for $10 apiece.

Bluechip 10-08-2017 10:56 PM

I bought one several weeks ago. I like it. Puts a nice edge and angle.

Quick and easy.....

Pull n Pray 10-18-2017 12:47 PM

After reading this thread, I bought one on Amazon. This thing is awesome! I've sharpen every knife in the house. Even cheap Walmart knifes that have been sitting around for years can be razor sharp in about 2 minutes.
