The WORK SHARP Work Sharp Ken Onion Electric Knife Sharpener is a guided system designed for users who seek complete control over their knife's edge. Its core feature is a fully adjustable angle mechanism, set using a built-in angle finder that allows for precise selection from 15 to 30 degrees. This system accommodates a wide range of knives, from small pocket folders to large hunting blades, thanks to its interchangeable clamping solutions—a V-block for larger knives and a magnetic table for smaller ones. The sharpening stones are held in place by magnets, enabling swift changes between grits without tools.
This setup is highly effective at producing hair-whittling, mirror-polished edges, especially on modern super steels. While it lacks the speed of an electric motor and has a learning curve for optimal use, the consistency and quality of the edge it creates are exceptional. The included rod stops prevent the stone from slipping off the blade, and a ceramic rod is available for sharpening serrations. It represents a significant value, delivering results comparable to systems costing three times as much, making it the top choice for precision-focused sharpening.
