Sharpen like the most experienced free-hand knife sharpening experts. This sharpener copies the movement of freehand sharpening while maintaining the perfect angle for the user.
This sharpener can be used with any stone size up to 10inches. Stones can be purchased separately.
The standard knife holder can be swapped out for Magnetic Knife Holder. The magnetic knife holder uses two N52 neodymium rare earth magnets to securely hold your knife in place. This removes the need for clamp and speeds up the setup process.
Features:
- The precision machined aluminum has a frosted black anodization protecting the device allowing it to have a long life
- Needle roller bearing on the knife holder pivot makes the rotation smooth and tight. The smoothness is reenforced with a roller ball bearing on top of it that makes it extra smooth.
- A roller ball bearing is used in the pivot at the horizontal and vertical bar making that a smooth, but tight pivoting action
- Igus Polymer bearings are used for all linear motion locations which reduce friction and wear while allowing them to get water or oil exposure without damage
- The Magnetic holder has an adjustable plate that sits on the spine of the knife allowing for adjustment for small and large knives.
- The magnetic and clamp holder can be adjusted from 0-25°. The clamp holder has a smaller range for smaller knives due to the clamp hitting the stone at shallower angles.
Sharpening Process:
- Install any stone.
- Set the angle on the sharpener, 0°-25° Angle
- Level the horizontal rod with the bubble level.
- Clamp the knife
- Sharpen

As a former fabricator, welder, and now as a chef in the fine dining field, I have always loved working with my hands and being meticulous. This has far exceeded my expectations of performance. I see a simple fixture, so I expect a simple end result, simply not the case. I highly recommend rubbing a light amount of Vaseline along the rails for smooth strokes. You also must get the magnetic add-on, it’s well worth it. If you’re already considering this purchase, you may as well add that on for the full experience. If I HAD to critique anything, it would simply be that I would love to see sturdier materials used. Speaking for myself, I don’t care if the fixture is 10 pounds, it comes apart easily; so having sturdier materials used would be great. Some type of stainless for the entire thing perhaps? A 316 stainless would ideal.

I literally have a closet full of sharpener product. I have every device I could find on Amazon including devices and sharpening stones ( wet and oil, Japanese etc). Included Work Sharp Ken Onion Edition, work Sharp wssako 81112 blade grinder attachment, Work Sharp Precision Adjust Elite Sharpener. Along with it, I purchase all attachments and accessories for them. I also have ton of other products as well.
No other products, other than Work Sharp produce a sharper and consistent edge quicker than yours. The learning curve is short and fast.
Thank you for helping a novice knives lover like me.

I suspected, and now I know that my free hand sharpening game was crap. The guide took me to the next level, I was shaving test hairs off my arm within minutes of receiving it.
