They're courteous, patient, and extremely knowledgeable. br>In response to your question, the Ken Onion Edition comes with a special diamond belt kit.

Even at twice the price, you won't find a better deal. br>I hope I've been able to answer your query. May God's blessings be upon you and your loved ones.
The angle guides on the original Knife were 40, 50, and 65 degrees. The total angle (20, 25, and 32) is referred to by a tool sharpener. 5 degrees on each side) 30 would be the Ken Onion Edition's equivalent. The temperature is 70°F.
Yes, the Work Sharp WSSAKO81113 Replacement Belt Kit is for the 3/4" version (WSKTS-WSKTS-WSKTS-WSKTS-WSKTS-WSKTS-WSKTS-WSKTS-WSKTS KO), and can be found on Amazon, Work Sharp, and other online retailers.
Yes, an EGO 21" lawnmower is available. Blades have been in use for about three years. Years had passed, and they had become utterly uninteresting. I sharpened the blades with the Work Sharp KOE (probably overdid it and made them'shave' sharp). It took roughly 20 minutes to complete. It took only a few minutes to remove them from the mower, sharpen the blades (ensuring that they were balanced), and reinstall them. The blades are now very effective at cutting the grass.
Selected User Reviews For Work Sharp Knife & Tool Sharpener Ken Onion Edition
The convex edges are lovely. To avoid scratches, tape the edges of your blades. Ken Onion's Work Sharp is one of my favorites. I bought it because I wanted to try convex edges on my knives without risking them being ruined while learning how to do it freehand. My first attempt on the Work Sharp involved a brand new Ontario Knives Rat-Tail. 1. a low-cost, high-quality AUS-made knife with a lovely AUS-made AUS-made AUS-made AUS-made Blade with a satin finish. I was able to make a razor-sharp blade in just a few minutes. The edge is razor-sharp and mirrored in a beautiful way. In addition, I made a LOT of UGLY scratches on that lovely AUS-based model. Because metal particles that fall off the edge during sharpening build up on the angle guides, the angle guides are given an 8 satin finish. You get scratches when you pull the knife through as directed. I don't mind if my knives get scuffed up during use, but I can't imagine damaging them while sharpening. Simply put, it isn't required. A quick search of the Blade Forums revealed that others, particularly with highly polished finishes, have had the same issue. After some further reading, I decided to protect the blade with painters tape on a different knife. Problem solved: in minutes, I had a razor-sharp convex edge with no visible scratches. This method is actually recommended by some sharpeners, such as the Apex Edge Pro. It would have been great if the Work Sharp team had followed suit. Despite this flaw, the Work Sharp is a great little machine at a reasonable price if you want to try convex edges (they really are better). I highly recommend reading the instructions carefully and taping the sides of your blades. Thank you for reading my review, and I hope you enjoyed it.
Bought this to give our kitchen knives a new lease on life and to touch up our pocketknives. Because the instructions are so simple, it's possible that people make mistakes and think they can just brush them aside. There are three sets of instructions for sharpening a blade, in my opinion: The ones on the cardboard table are my personal favorites. Because my husband and I didn't have to buy new kitchen knives or bring them in on a regular basis, this system has already paid for itself. When it comes to judging the blade edge, the construction is very solid and can turn even the most inexperienced knife sharpener into a pro. If you need razor-sharp knives at a moment's notice, this will meet your needs. The only caution I would give is that the old adage "a dull knife is more dangerous than a sharp knife" is correct. A razor sharp blade, on the other hand, is less forgiving than a sharpened blade. After using this system to sharpen your knives, be cautious because they will be frighteningly sharp (in a good way). even more so than if it came from the factory! br>br> Here are some pointers I've picked up over the years that have helped me sharpen my blades quickly, precisely, and without mishap: 1. br>br> Using tape, secure the blade: I put some masking tape on, then carefully peel it over the edge to cut a silhouette 1x per side. I peel it off, set it aside, and then put both silhouettes back on, only revealing the blade where it will make contact with the belt. This protects the blade while learning efficiently without the need to fatten up the knife with tape. 2. br>br>1. br>br>br>br>br>br Practice with a Cheap Knife: The real skill is knowing when to let go of the trigger so that the blade does not grind faster than the recommended "1 inch per second" and you can follow the contour of the knife edge while keeping proper contact with the belt. br>br>3. It Has the Potential to Result in a Scandal: After sharpening about eight blades, I noticed that my dining table was covered in shavings and other debris (I live in a studio, so no man cave garage). It was all to the right of the sharpener, as I discovered later. So, after making sure there was no water or other debris on my counter, I placed it to the left of my kitchen sink. This caused the majority of the shavings to fall into the sink, making cleanup a breeze. 4. br>br> Protect your eyes with sunglasses: If you're like me, watching to see if the knife is properly inserted and pulled, you'll notice (thankfully while wearing eye protection) that left grind debris shoots straight up in your face. It'd be awful to look back after sharpening 14 knives with that in your eyes. I also wish I had a face mask for the first marathon, because you'll be looking for excuses to sharpen every blade in the house so it passes the paper test. br>br>5. Learn to Run a Marathon: Because they both use the same main three belt grits (coarse, medium, and fine), I noticed that the angle is the main difference between a kitchen knife and a pocket knife. When I have a sharpening marathon, I separate my kitchen and pocket knives but use the same belts rather than changing the belts for each group of knives. The angle degree is the only thing I change. Instead of changing everything out for each pile or, worse, per knife, this speeds up the process. br>br>6. While counting, keep an eye out for crooked burrs: I've found that losing track of which side went in first, resulting in an annoying crooked burr, is the most effective way to ruin your edge. To make it easier to remember where to start, I write "odd" numbers on the right side and "even" numbers on the left. I count to the total number of strokes, so if it says 10, I count to 20 total. This also means I'll go from right to left until I reach ten, which is five on each side and a good time to check for burrs. Then there are ten more starting at 11 a. m. , making up the "right" side of the system. I've never noticed burrs using this method, which allows me to complete the process quickly and accurately. br>br>Thank you for your time; I wouldn't have taken the time to write this if I didn't think Worksharp impressed me as much as it did.
To begin, allow me to provide some context. Hunting and fishing are two of my favorite pastimes. It took me 40 years to learn how to sharpen knives on a wet stone. For the past two decades, I've used a Lansky sharpener with stones. When I first saw this electric sharpener, I thought it was a gimmick; no self-respecting woodsman would use electricity to sharpen their blades. My pocket knife can shave the hair off your arm, which is something I've always taken pride in. Let's fast forward to the moment when you make this purchase. Who'd have guessed knives could become so razor-sharp? Every knife I own now has a cutting edge that rivals surgical instruments. Every knife I own allows me to split hairs. My razor blades for shaving have been thrown away. This thing can give a blade an edge that would make a ninja smile. There are only a few times in your life when you will invest in something that will truly revolutionize your life, and this is one of them. To polymer lines, it's similar to braided line, and it's similar to Blu-ray. To vhs, ray is. This will increase the number of blades in your collection from 8 to 12. Bose surround sound has been added to this track. It's fricken amazing, so get it.
It's much better to use a wet stone grinder wheel. Based on the reviews, I was eager to get my hands on it. When it arrived, I carefully read all of the instructions. Well, it blunted sharp edges and sharpened square edges. While making my blunt edges, the belts were toast in about ten minutes. Soft steel knives can be used in this way. Knives made of tool steel are not eligible. If you're interested in making knives, skip this step and instead invest in a wet stone wheel grinder, such as the Wen 10" wet stone grinder with Tormex blade fixtures. I'm a lot happier with the wet stone grinder and sharpening knives I made with a hair shaving edge.
My son will get one. One is for my mother-in-law, and the other is for me. My unit hasn't been used in a long time. I've used it to sharpen my wife's kitchen knives (Chicago Cutlery) and my Kershaw pocket knife three times, once for my wife's knives and three times for my pocket knife. br>br>Today, while trying to sharpen my wife's knives before the Thanksgiving holiday, the drive pulley broke off of the motor and jammed between the motor drive and the belt guide. br>br>I've sharpened 12 kitchen knives and my pocket knife three times in total. br>br>I would not recommend this unit to anyone. BTW - For parts or repairs, I'm still waiting for a response from the manufacturer.
